Here are all the game modes:

Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride

The main game mode for Overwatch 2's Halloween Terror event is based around "Junkenstein's Revenge: Wrath of the Bride", a co-op adventure. This can be played by four players in which each one has to pick from a given roster of four heroes. This roster includes Junker Queen, Kiriko, Ashe, and Sojourn.

Players have to go through the map while killing enemies and solving puzzles in order to progress. There are some jumpscares and a few surprises, so exploration is encouraged. Fortunately, the game does give a jumpscare warning for players who might not be comfortable with it.

Junkenstein's Revenge

The first of the secondary game modes is "Junkenstein's Revenge", which is a co-op tower defense game. Four players get to pick from a roster of ten heroes at the start of the game.

Players have to protect the castle gates as hordes of Zomnics arrive to blow it up, along with certain bosses and Dr. Junkenstein himself. If the gates take too much damage or all the players are dead, then the game is over. Defeat Junkenstein and his allies to win this particular game mode.

Junkenstein Endless

The next one on the list of secondary game modes is "Junkenstein Endless". As its name suggests, it is an endless horde mode style of castle defense. It offers the same kind of playstyle as Junkenstein's Revenge, but with the added feature of being endless.

Players can test themselves to see how far they can survive this mode after they have finished the first mode.

Challenge Missions

The third mode gets further divided into several separate missions, where players have to complete certain objectives of the given mode. There are a total of six challenge missions revolving around the same tower defense format, but with a twist for each of them:

Vengeful Ghost: A deadly ghost chases players
Frenzied Stampede: Zomnics move faster
Three They Were: Only three players, but they deal more damage
Shocking Surprise: Some enemies spawn shock tires on death
Volatile Zomnics: Zomnics explode near players
Mystery Swap: Heroes periodically randomized

Where to find Halloween Terror modes in Overwatch 2
