What is Snowball Deathmatch?
Snowball Deathmatch is the new and upgraded version of Mei's Snowball offensive.
This free-for-all game mode will see each player playing as Mei and throwing snowballs that they have rolled themselves.
Mei's Snowball offensive would see a team of six faces each other. However, this new game mode is more of an 'every man for himself' deal.
These little balls of hard water are one-shot kills, so this mode is no joke.

How to Catch Snowballs in Overwatch 2
Catching a snowball in this game mode is pretty simple.
All players have to do is press the melee button just before the snowball will hit.
This can be done with R3 / RS on PlayStation and Xbox, or the V key on PC.
Pressing this will make Mei raise her hand with an open palm where she can catch snowballs for a little while.
But, timing is key with this, missing the timing will mean that you have been eliminated and count as a point for the attacker.
Doing this six times means that you would have completed the Caught a Cold challenge!
Not only does this work towards getting Ice Queen Brigitte. But, it also unlocks a Junker Queen spray and 1,500 Battle Pass XP.
