The Halloween Terror update added the game’s first cooperative mode, called Junkenstein’s Revenge. It was a fun, wave-based mode against zombie robots and four bosses. Players could only pick between Soldier 76, McCree, Hanzo, and Ana.

The waves were not very long, and the mode was very accessible to those that like to shoot a lot. It was Blizzard’s first crack at offering something more substantial to Overwatch, and left players wishing there was more of it.

Also, everyone lost their damn minds over Mercy’s Witch skin.
