Junker Queen’s Overpowered Lifesteal Bug Turns Her Into a Tanking Machine!

by

In the game Overwatch 2, there seems to be an unintended issue with Junker Queen’s Savage Satiation Perk. This bug causes Carnage’s life-stealing ability to function not only on enemies but also on defensive shields and objects like Reinhardt’s barrier or Mei’s Ice Wall. Although this interaction might not have been planned, it temporarily gives Junker Queen enhanced self-healing capabilities against specific heroes in Overwatch 2.

In Season 15 of Overwatch 2, the innovative feature called Perks was introduced, significantly altering the gameplay experience. This system enables players to advance in rank during a match, granting them access to both Minor and Major Perks. These perks bestow powerful passive effects or additional abilities onto a hero, transforming their playstyle entirely.

As a devoted fan, I’ve been tinkering around with the Savage Satiation Perk from none other than the formidable Junker Queen in Overwatch 2. It turns out this perk, designed primarily for healing from her Carnage ability, surprisingly restores her health not just from enemy impacts, but also from damage dealt to structures like turrets, barriers, and destructible objects created by adversary heroes! Romani, a renowned content creator in the Overwatch 2 community, even discovered that it works on every piece of Mei’s Ice Wall. With a single strike, she can quickly recover hundreds of health points! Quite an unexpected twist in gameplay, wouldn’t you agree?

It appears that this interaction is happening with other Overwatch 2 heroes who have lifesteal abilities, like Hazard’s Anarchic Zeal, Reaper’s Ravenous Wraith, and Genji’s Dragon’s Thirst. Interestingly, the Major Perk of Junker Queen, particularly her Savage Satiation at full lifesteal, along with Carnage’s wide swing and high damage, stands out among these characters.

Junker Queen Perks in Overwatch 2

  • Minor Perks
    • Rending Recall – Recalling Jagged Blade from a stuck target refreshes its wound.
    • Battle Shout – Commanding Shout fully reloads Scatter Gun and increases allied reload speed by 50%.
  • Major Perks
    • Deep Wounds – Scattergun hits extend your wound durations on those enemies by .25 seconds.
    • Savage Satiation – Carnage’s impact damage gains 100% lifesteal.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed something peculiar about Reaper’s The Reaping passive. It seems like this ability doesn’t naturally heal me when attacking turrets or barriers. This could be a bug, and honestly, it’s been working to my advantage for now. However, gamers should be aware that this self-healing mechanic might get patched out sometime around mid-Season 15, which is expected to drop on March 18 alongside the second Overwatch 2 x LE SSERAFIM collaboration. If not, then it could potentially be addressed in a future update.

In the game Overwatch 2, the Perk system has received widespread acclaim from players, but it’s not without its issues. Some Perks, like Ana’s Biotic Bounce Minor Perk, have been well-liked, while others, such as Mei’s Permafrost Minor Perk, are generally perceived as unimpressive trap choices. Fortunately, Overwatch 2 has plans to address these less-popular Perks. During Season 15, significant balance adjustments are expected, and in Season 16, some underperforming Perks may be replaced. Furthermore, a comprehensive overhaul of the system is planned for Season 18, with every hero receiving at least one new Perk option. Players should stay tuned for more exciting interactions with these Perks when they are released later this year.
