Welcome to Hollywood, California, where palm trees and flashy cars line the streets, and movie stars, directors, and high-powered studio executives mingle over a drink at Galand's in Overwatch 2.

HAL-Fred Glitchbot, Goldshire Studios' Omnic film auteur, has created his two latest films, They Come from Beyond the Moon and Six-Gun Killer, to varying degrees of critical and commercial acclaim.

However, anti-Omnic sentiment has gripped Hollywood, and the outspoken director has become a prime target in the escalating conflict. Hollywood is a Hybrid map set in the opulent streets of Los Angeles.

On this map, players must capture and escort a Hollywood VIP through the various movie sets within Goldshire Studios until they reach their trailer safely.


General tips for Hollywood in Overwatch 2

Inside the Wild West Set, use Snipers

The Wild West Set in Hollywood has numerous vantage points, long sightlines, and narrow pathways. These characteristics make it ideal for sniping Heroes such as Ashe, Widowmaker, and Hanzo, who can take full advantage of the terrain to land headshots on key enemy targets.


Use the Verticality of the map

The first area of Hollywood has good verticality and natural cover. As a result, Heroes with high aerial mobility, such as Pharah and Echo, make excellent choices for attacking and defending the map's first control point.


Prepare for the Choke Points

The final section of Hollywood is an enclosed area with cramped pathways and chokepoints for the attacking team to push through. At this point, both teams should consider changing their composition, as attacking teams may want to switch to more mobile Heroes to get past the choke points, while defending sides may want to switch to Heroes who excel at holding down narrow spaces.


Effective Hero composition for Hollywood

Sigma

With Experimental Barrier and Kinetic Grasp, Sigma provides excellent cover and defensive capability in Hollywood's tight corridors. His Accretion can also be used as a powerful crowd-control tool, disrupting key enemy targets, and bursting down vulnerable Damage Heroes.
