Overwatch 2 Story Mission walkthrough: Rio de Janeiro 

As you fight through the city, you'll encounter purple walls. To get through them, follow the purple lines that lead to a power source. Attack these power sources to move through each area. Don't wait too long between each attack because they regenerate health.

There are three of these walls you have to get through. Follow the purple lines or the orange indicator on the map to quickly find each power source.

Clear out the factory of warbots by making use of your hero's abilities and working with your teammates. Keep following the orange indicator to reach the ship's core. Once you're at the core, attack it to unlock a cutscene.

Next, attack the Colossal Charger and dodge its incoming beams. Whenever the Colossal Charger gains immunity, lure it to the ship's core. This takes down the warbot's forcefield and lets you deal damage to it again.

After hitting the Colossal Charger with the final blow, attack the ship's core again until it explodes.

A timer then appears on the screen. This is how much time you have left to escape the collapsing ship with your team! Follow the orange indicator to head out as quickly as possible. You can use your hero's abilities to defeat the low-health enemies as well.
