For all its polish, even Overwatch falls victim to the occasional glitch. Most are not as cheerful as this one that sends Torbjörn's turret jumping for joy.

Overwatch subreddit user u/schmidtzkrieg submitted footage of the bouncing turret bug Tuesday. In their clip, schmidtzkrieg's Torbjörn is wandering the rooftops of Hollywood's street phase, setting up for the attacking team's incoming push. They decide to place a turret on the very edge of the saloon's roof, but the game has other plans.

When schmidtzkrieg drops the turret, rather than deploy, it bounces off the angled ledge of the building. It continues to bounce up and down, un-deployed, for several seconds straight. Schmidtzkrieg just stares at it. It bounces until the clip ends.

Did it ever deploy? Why was it so happy? These questions and more remain unanswered. All we have is footage of the most joyous turret in Overwatch history.
