Overwatch Brigitte release WARNING: Blizzard confirm patch 1.21 issues

Having only just gone live through a new update, the development team behind the game have been keen to note some of the existing problems.

Patch 1.21 comes with plenty of bugfixes, however, there’s a good chance that it has added a bunch too.

For new Overwatch Brigitte players, this extends to nearly all of her abilities, as well as some of her cosmetic items.

Overwatch League Skins are not currently the way they should be for the support tank, with several animation issues tied to them.

These include at the end of the Flail highlight intro, the team logo disappearing off of the Rocket Flail.

It should also be noted that the OWL team decals disappear off of her flail during the Rally Ultimate animation. While the team name displayed on the hip sash can be obscured by clipping during some animations.

A full list of the problems flagged by Blizzard can be found below, however, this is not a complete list of all currently tracked issues affecting this build of Overwatch.

This is instead a targeted list of some known specific issues with this release that the development team want flagged:
