Hanzo has been banned and unbanned in Overwatch 2 after a ridiculous new game-breaking bug let him fire fully charged arrows as if he’s using Storm Bow.
Throughout Overwatch’s history, there have been tons of bugs and exploits that have resulted in quite a few heroes being disabled depending on their severity.
Early on in the OW2’s life, we saw Bastion and Torbjorn both removed due to game-breaking bugs, and now the same happened to Hanzo.

On October 12, players discovered that a bug in the Season 7 patch could let the Shimada brother fire nonstop fully-charged arrows capable of one-shotting the majority of the roster.
Hanzo bug makes him the most lethal Overwatch 2 hero
The bug’s discovery was posted on the Competitive Overwatch subreddit where a user rhetorically asked if anyone at Blizzard “tested the toggle primary fire setting on Hanzo.”
In the Season 7 update, Hanzo didn’t receive any balance updates, but he did get a new specific option to toggle Primary Fire and that seems to be causing this exploit.

“He will be disabled soon I guess,” one player remarked.

“I just tested it. It’s exceptionally easy to reproduce. A little more effort to do consistently, but you can easily shoot 2-3 times in a row almost immediately after learning,” another noted.
Others were more excited, or so it seemed. “Permanent storm arrows pog,” applauded someone else.
Sure enough, the DPS hero was indeed disabled with Lead Hero Designer Alec Dawson confirming the decision on X.

“Hanzo is disabled in all modes for the time being due to a bug with his toggle primary fire control option. Hoping to have a fix for this out later today and will be re-enabling him then,” he explained.
Luckily, this issue was resolved and the hero was able to return a few hours later.
For more Overwatch 2, keep it locked to Dexerto.
Hanzo was temporarily banned in Overwatch 2 due to a game-breaking bug that allowed him to fire fully charged arrows rapidly. The bug was discovered by players on October 12 and was posted on Reddit. Hanzo’s new toggle primary fire control option was identified as the cause of the bug. Blizzard disabled Hanzo in all modes while they worked on a fix, which was later implemented, allowing the hero to be re-enabled. This is not the first time heroes have been disabled in Overwatch due to bugs or exploits.
