Detailed Mutator Information
Attack wave and Objective ping markers will not be shown on the minimap. Reducing your Shader Settings to Medium quality and below will allow you to see the terrain, nullifying the mutator.
Commander-specific Tips
- Abathur: Place a Toxic Nest and disable automatic detonation to provide you vision of key areas of the map.
- Stetmann: Disabled Stetellites provide normal vision.
- Zeratul: Darkness disables Zeratul's map-wide terrain vision. You may need to use Rally Points to find the Artifact Fragments, shown below:
