Overwatch 2 Underworld walkthrough: Mission 1

The first iteration of the Underworld mission involves collecting batteries across the map. With your teammates, you're supposed to get these batteries and bring them to the TS-1 unit. At the same time, you must survive wave after wave of Null Sector's forces.

To collect a battery, follow the orange symbol that indicates your distance from it. Then, press "F" on your keyboard to pick it up. Travel back to the TS-1 unit and hold the "F" key near it. There are regular batteries and heavy batteries. The latter version slows down your movement speed.

As you move through the map, make sure dodge attacks that come from different directions. While there are warbots that continue crawling towards you and require a final hit, there are also ones that are bulkier and have more health totals.

The aerial units, in particular, can hack your hero and prevent them from using their abilities. To counter this, step away from the hacking barrier and attack as normal. Don't forget to protect the TS-1's location.

After defending and repairing the TS-1 unit, your team must eliminate some more enemies, initiate a terminal, and defend the terminal from Null Sector. Stand on the objective to gain progress. Get rid of enemies who step in the area because they halt the progress.

Fight against the waves of warbots and the OR15 unit before picking up an access card and using it. Like the batteries from earlier, you can pick it up by pressing the "F" key. Next, hold the "F" key to use the card and complete the mission.
