Everything fans need to know about completing the Photozomb challenge in Overwatch 2

The Photozomb challenge isn't easy to complete. It demands perfect timing, and players will only get one shot at this in a single playthrough. To achieve this, users will have to play through the entire mode until they reach the inner room of the castle, which is available near the end section of the mode.

The primary objective of the challenge is to get featured during the Bride's introductory cutscene as the screen turns black and white. Using the 'Story' difficulty setting is recommended as it is easier and will take less time for players to reach the final section.

Here's how to strike a pose with the Bride to complete the Photozomb challenge in Overwatch 2:

1) First, make your way through to the Throne room.

2) As soon as you enter, run towards the Lord of the Castle (Reinhardt) and either stand beside him or on top of him and proceed to use an emote before the Bride introductory cutscene begins to play.

3) Alternatively, you can climb up to the platform above the strapped-down Lord to get yourself featured in the cutscene. This method can be time-consuming if you don't haste with your movements.

You will only have a matter of seconds before you can accomplish this. You'll have to replay the mode if you don't make it in time.

Once completed, you will see your character in Sombra’s cutscene, and the game will notify you of the completion of the challenge.
