Blizzard shipped an Overwatch Retail hotfix on 5 November 2026 (distinct from the Taking Reign event, Nov 3–Dec 7). Official notes: Overwatch — Patch Notes.
Hero — Wrecking Ball (Grappling Claw)
- Base speed limit while retracting Grappling Claw increased by 15%
- Allied speed boosts now also increase that retract speed limit
Listed bug fixes
- Competitive Drive: players who did not reach Checkpoint 4 in a previous Drive should no longer have a signature equipped that they cannot unequip
- D.Mon: note on a prior fix where the pilot was resurrected without ultimate charge (blocking an immediate return to the mech)
- Stadium: scoreboard and related screens not displaying properly
Replay codes from the November 3 patch remain available (hotfix).

Question: have you felt the Wrecking Ball Grappling Claw +15% (and allied boosts) yet, or did any of the Drive / Stadium fixes apply to you?
