Some maps in Overwatch 2 have little quirks that can be exploited by savvy players, like a tree on the Esperança Push map that once trapped an unsuspecting D.Va player. In a humorous twist, a clip surfaced showing this D.Va player stuck behind a tree, needing the assistance of an enemy Reinhardt and a Lifeweaver to get free.
Overwatch 2 players often find clever ways to exploit maps, but it’s not every day that you stumble upon a spot that can trap you completely. Since its launch in 2022, Overwatch 2 has provided players with fresh and engaging content, but even recently unveiled maps, like those supporting the new Clash mode, might still have their hidden surprises several years down the line.
Despite being out since 2022, many in the Overwatch community have expressed dissatisfaction with Overwatch 2’s monetization strategy. Nevertheless, the sequel has outpaced the original by regularly introducing new heroes, cosmetics, and maps, giving fans more content to sink their teeth into. However, as of 2025’s Season 15, no new maps have been introduced, even though the season itself brought a slew of exciting gameplay updates.
In a particularly entertaining clip shared by the player French_Taylor, we witness a D.Va player getting stuck behind a tree on the Esperança map. This happened when they stood behind a tree near a bridge, called down their mech, and found themselves unable to move due to the size of their model. The comic relief continued as an enemy Reinhardt tried to help free the trapped D.Va by smashing their mech again. Eventually, it took a Lifeweaver using their Petal Platform to hoist D.Va out of the predicament. While it might seem like an odd bug, it’s not something players typically encounter, though larger tanks or heroes with substantial hitboxes might want to be careful when interacting with that particular tree.
While Blizzard occasionally updates maps to fix such issues, this clip serves as an important reminder for D.Va players to be vigilant of their surroundings when hopping back into their mech. As with any game that involves vast environments, quirky scenarios like these are bound to pop up from time to time, adding to the game’s charm and the community’s shared laughter.
