After his launch earlier in December, Overwatch 2's Samoan Tank Mauga gains some improvements as he heads into the Competitive scene. Mauga arrived in Overwatch 2 as part of the game's eighth season, which also brought the Battle of the Beasts limited-time mode and a Beast Hunter-themed battle pass. Mauga was also the first ever Overwatch hero to become temporarily available for a trial weekend ahead of his official release, a practice which may become standard for future heroes.
