Overwatch 2 Defeat the Demon Lord game mode: How it works and how to win

The Defeat the Demon Lord game mode is here! Read on for how this Arcade mode works, the heroes involved, how to win, and more.

Defeat the Demon Lord in Overwatch 2 a creator-made game mode. To access it, press "Play" in the main menu, select "Arcade," and choose "Defeat the Demon Lord." Next, decide if you wish to play in a four-versus-one deathmatch against Reinhardt or if you want to be Reinhardt himself. There's also the flex option.

If you're on the Heroes side, then your team must take down Demon Lord Reinhardt three times. If you're the giant version of Reinhardt himself, then you must earn 30 kills against a team of four players. This team can include characters such as Junker Queen, Orisa, Genji, Torbjorn, Tracer, Kiriko, Lifeweaver, and Lucio.

You can take advantage of the high ground in the different maps to pepper Reinhardt with attacks while healing your teammates as Kiriko and Lifeweaver. Make use of your speed and healing with Lucio as well. Meanwhile, Tracer and Genji can deal some damage and quickly get out of Reinhardt's range.

If you're Reinhardt in this game mode, then you're bulked up in size and health. You can also do lots of damage. Make use of his shield, get rid of Torbjorn's turrets, time your abilities and ultimate correctly, and take down the healers. Don't forget to get those glowing items around the map because they grant you buffs.

Achieving victory in this game mode means twice the progress in some of this season's event challenges. Of course, wins also help complete your daily and weekly challenges for some Battle Pass XP.

That's all for now. Stay tuned on esports.gg for more news and updates!
