Dorado is an Escort map in Overwatch.

Background

Dorado's location

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. These was constructed by LumériCo, and as the final one was constructed, CEO Guillermo Portero gave a speech to mark the occasion. The city holds a festival that celebrates the end of the Omnic Crisis, though it possesses an underground criminal element.

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.

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.

Trivia

One of the Dorado power plants

• 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 the eponymous Diablo. The map itself depicts the city's Omnic Crisis celebration.
