Disastrous Re-Mech Attempt for D.Va in Overwatch 2

Some Overwatch 2 players have stumbled upon amusing glitches in the game, like the instance where a D.Va player got stuck behind a tree on the Esperanca Push map. A hilarious clip surfaced that captures the dilemma of this trapped D.Va, who needed some creative teamwork from an adversary’s Reinhardt and a Lifeweaver to break free.

Many Overwatch 2 maps offer plenty of unexpected surprises to those who explore them thoroughly. One unsuspecting D.Va player found themselves in an unusual predicament, getting completely stuck behind a tree on the Esperanca map. This map, which debuted in 2022 with a new game mode, still manages to surprise players with its quirks years later. Despite the criticism Overwatch 2 faces over its monetization, the game has consistently rolled out a more substantial amount of content than its predecessor, from fresh designs to whole new playable characters. In 2024 alone, players received an assortment of new maps, including two specifically crafted for the latest Clash mode.

Overwatch 2 is experiencing an exciting boost with its release of Season 15, which has pushed the gameplay forward considerably. However, 2025 hasn’t brought in new maps just yet. A captivating clip from the player known as French_Taylor reveals how one can unexpectedly get stuck in the Esperanca map. This particular mishap occurred when the player, in their baby D.Va form, positioned themselves behind a tree near one of the central map’s bridges. Once they summoned their mech, they found they were too bulky to slip away.

Interestingly, the situation took a humorous turn as an opposing Reinhardt tried to help by attacking the mech, and a Lifeweaver offered their Petal Platform to help the D.Va escape. Even though this tree trap has likely been around since the map’s inception, encountering it isn’t common. However, similar hiccups could affect other large Overwatch 2 heroes, depending on their positioning or if they’re moved by skills like Lifeweaver’s Life Grip.

Instances of players getting caught in odd spots across different maps isn’t unheard of, and Blizzard occasionally tweaks maps to address these. This particular incident acts as a fun reminder for D.Va users to be wary of their surroundings when gearing up.
