Each hero will be able to equip a set of cards called Monstrous Mutations that alter how their kit works in some way or another. For example, I played Soldier and was able to select a card that gave me a Biotic Field that would move alongside me. You will start off with two cards and be able to select one more with each round.

There are no special maps for this event. The first team to get a total of three rounds will win the match.

Maps:

Illios
Lijiang Tower
Oasis
Busan
Antarctica

The Halloween Terror event challenges are also tied to Junkenstein's Lab mode. Playing this event is the best way to complete the missions and obtain event-exclusive items. You will also get Battlepass XP for playing this game mode.

All Overwatch 2 Junkenstein's Lab abilities

The mutations are divided into four categories that are mentioned below:

Common (Green)

The abilities, or mutations, are given randomly to each player and then players can select and build their hero. With each round passing, the mutations become more rare and more potent. Below you can find all the available mutations for OW2 heroes and their rewards.

Overwatch 2 Junkenstein's Lab features

Junkenstein's Lab is the first-ever PvP Halloween event in the history of Overwatch, as the previous iterations of special game modes to commemorate the season of spooks were mainly co-op adventures set in the Eichenwalde map. The game mode is that of capture, where you must contest and capture a single point to win the round.

The overall gameplay is similar to quickplay and ranked, with fewer maps and heroes. You will also be unable to switch characters once you have locked in.

The specialty of this event comes from the unique deck system, which can give your heroes new sets of abilities that make the gameplay quite fun. This arcade event can be a great way to unwind if you are tired of playing the ranked and quickplay modes of the FPS title. This was everything you needed to know about the Overwatch 2 Junkenstein's Lab
