Prop Hunt: Overwatch 2's ultimate game mode, declared the best by players
Prop Hunt is like a breath of fresh air for Overwatch 2 players. With fans boycotting PvE missions, the mode's absurd evasion tactics and pure fun are earning high praise. Is it the best mode yet?
Prop Hunt is proving to be a breath of new air for displeased fans of the Hero shooter, with reports of Overwatch 2 participation in the fall and players boycotting the upcoming edition of the PvE missions.
In the short time, it has been in Overwatch 2, we've seen players use some absurd evasion tactics, and we've also seen props really retaliate! Overall, it appears like the OW2 player base is truly enjoying the mode and has compared it to “literally any Overwatch Mode.”
Is Prop Hunt the best Overwatch 2 game mode right now?
Sometimes it's simple to forget that games are meant to be enjoyable, after all, that's why the majority of people play them in the first place. It's encouraging to see the community celebrating a new feature, especially in light of much of the recent vitriol surrounding Overwatch 2.
“Am I losing it, or is Prop Hunt actually kinda…fun?” was the title of a recent post on the OW2 subreddit. Then ran through their explanation: “It’s not perfect but it feels really refreshing! Everyone in my lobbies just seems to be having a good time, including myself. Maybe it’s just been a while since I’ve seen everyone enjoying themselves in a match. I burned through like 6 hours on this one game mode just crying-laughing and I wanna keep playing!”
No, it's enjoyable, a user responded. Without a doubt, my fave event mode since OW2. In fact, I can play it for a long time without growing tired of it. However, another OW2 member weighed in with the following comment: “I really hope they consider making it a permanent mode on rotation in Arcade. Would love to play more maps in this mode, maybe tweak it a little bit.”
BroYouWack, a Twitch streamer and YouTube content creator, essentially proclaimed the mode to be the finest that Overwatch 2 has to offer right now: Any Overwatch mode is literally superior to OW2 Prop Hunt.

We anticipate Prop Hunt will occasionally be switched up, just like any other game option in the arcade. We expect the developers to have been happy with the response to Prop Hunt as Overwatch 2 Season 6 is almost approaching, and it might very well become a regular inclusion going forward.
