Overwatch’s latest update is out now on PC and makes several changes to the Uprising mode. Of course, the main focus of this update is to fix the exploit that came with the new Uprising mode. The exploit allowed players to prevent the Null Sector bots from spawning during the payload escort phase Uprising. Other changes include an accuracy fix when firing from on top of the payload and the scoreboard not accurately tracking certain stats. The update will hit consoles with the next major update.

Here are the full patch notes:
