A new Bastion’s Brick Challenge, which gives players the chance to unlock an awesome LEGO-themed skin for the hero after winning nine games.

Blizzard also snuck in a brand new patch along with the event that contains changes for Sigma, Symmetra and Zarya that were previously on the PTR.

What are the changes?

Most of the changes included in the September 17 patch wereHow to get the LEGO-themed Bastion skin in Overwatch

Bastion received relatively minor changes to the way his Self-Repair ability operates, for instance at full health, he’ll no longer consume resources when using the ability.

There are also a number of Workshop updates in the latest patch as well, which should give creators even more options while they tinker around.

Perhaps the biggest Workshop update this patch is the addition of so-called “Dummy Bots” which is a full player that has no human or AI controlling it.

“Using other Workshop actions, dummy bots can move, aim, press buttons, and do most things that human players can do,” the patch notes explain.
