The Overwatch 3.07 update patch notes bring forth one of the weirder events in the game’s history: the PachiMarchi Challenge. This is a limited event where players can earn new Pachimari-related gear. There are also a few Workshop changes as well, but many players will be more interested in the challenge.
How to earn PachiMarchi gear in the Overwatch 3.07 update
As Blizzard hinted at yesterday, Overwatch is kicking off its first PachiMarchi Challenge. This event will run from March 9 to March 22. Players can get a Pachimari hat icon for winning three games, a Junkrat emote for winning six games, and the above Roadhog skin for winning nine games in the two weeks. Just logging into Overwatch will yield six Pachimari sprays that have Sombra, Doomfist, Junkrat, Winston, Zenyatta, and one that features both Hanzo and Genji.

WORKSHOP UPDATES
We’re pleased to announce Workshop Extensions, a system which allows users to enable certain enhancements, such as access to new effects and increasing the number of dummy bots. These enhancements can be enabled using Extension Points, which are earned by either disabling player slots, disabling all non-Workshop maps, or a combination of both. This system allows us to add resource-intensive features while giving creators control over when they’re enabled. Check out the New Workshop Extensions section in these and future patch notes!
Spawn Points now returns an array of spawn point entities that have a position and facing direction. If you were already using this Value in places that expected a position, it will work as before. If you want explicitly grab the position and facing direction data, you can use the Position Of and Facing Direction Of Values respectively.
