Overwatch Update 3.04 Is Out, Here Are The Patch Notes

Overwatch has been updated to version 3.04 today bringing in a number of fixes and improvements. You can find the complete patch notes here.

Blizzard is bringing a new game mode with this patch, Bounty Hunter Brawl. This will let the players test their skills by playing as an outlaw. The way this new mode works is that whoever manages to land the first kill becomes a target and gets additional points for killing others, but if the player is killed, their killer assumes the role of bounty hunter reaping bonus points.

Overwatch Update 3.04 Patch Notes

NEW GAME MODE: BOUNTY HUNTER BRAWL

Test your skills as an outlaw with this new addition to the Arcade rotation: Bounty Hunter! Getting the first kill of the match makes you the Target and gives you extra points for making kills, but beware: anyone who kills you becomes the next Target!

GENERAL UPDATES

Feature Update: Replay Viewer Fine-Grained Playback Controls

• We’ve introduced a new option that allows you to toggle between two different playback controls, the default playback controls and the “fine-grained” playback controls.
• These “fine-grained” controls will allow you to increase and decrease the replay playback speed in smaller increments than 0.25x, from 0.10x to 1.00x. You can also hold your “Move Slow” binding while increasing or decreasing speeds to change the playback speed acceleration. This can help you capture cool slow-motion shots and more!
