Dorado

Dorado's location

Dorado is a Payload map in Overwatch.

Background

The streets of Dorado

Dorado is a city in Mexico. It is set high above a sweeping bay. The city is powered by gigantic ziggurats, which can be seen glowing around the bay.

The city was identified as a hotspot by Overwatch in the decades following the Omnic Crisis.

Gameplay

The objective of this map is to transport a truck. The attacking team starts very close to the truck, at the bottom of the map, and must escort the truck up through the streets and into a base.

At the time of the map's occurrence, the city appears to be in the midst of a celebration, with traditional, colourful decorations throughout.

Strategy

The winding streets and courtyards of Dorado provide good opportunity for snipers on this map. The truck's starting location is overlooked from a vantage point directly opposite, ideal for a hero such as Widowmaker to set up. The narrow passages can make abilities like Dragonstrike effective.

Easter eggs

• The attacking team's starting area contains a range of large metal bells, which can be shot at to produce different musical notes. Skilled players can produce simple melodies in this way.

• The streets of Dorado are festooned with numerous decorations, including destructible piñatas. Some of these depict the heads of characters from other Blizzard games, such as Diablo.
