The man behind the hat got some reworks in Overwatch 2 , including a new Magnetic Grenade that replaces his Flashbang. This grenade sticks to enemies before exploding for huge damage, and Fan The Hammer also got buffed with a fire rate incre

Sojourn is an excellent DPS pick for beginner players , as she can deal plenty of her damage using her Railgun . It has two methods of damage-dealing; the first is firing with primary fire-generated energy when hitting enemies, which can be used for her secondary fire. Her secondary fire is a high-impact hitscan shot that is almost a guaranteed headshot kill. Her Overclock Ultimate allows her to use her Railgun's alt-fire without consuming any ene

Learning the differences between the maps and their most advantageous choke points and positions is vital to claiming victory. For example, Esperança has an important choke point midway through the map where the robot goes under a bridge. Try to claim the high ground and hold off the enemy team for as long as possi

Usually, we’d have weeks of hype for new heroes in Overwatch 2 Dlc, but, sadly, those days are gone . Overwatch 2 somewhat dims the fanfare by giving you three new characters right out the gate - Sojourn, a damage hero; Junker Queen, a tank; and Kiriko, an unlockable support hero. Too bad, because these characters are absolutely worth the hype of the early years of Overwa

It can be quite hard to play as Mei when you've picked this character for the first time. Her kit is unique, and it has a high skill ceiling . While you can get away with placing walls in weird angles against an amateur team, they can easily show you Mei's counters if they're even a little sentient in Overwatch

Junkrat is a master of explosions and a demolition expert who may or may not have blown off his own leg in a curious case of a homemade explosion. Despite his obvious unhinged personality, Junkrat is a great pick for controlling certain situations as a damage character. Armed with his grenade launcher and his concussion mine, Junkrat can deal some pretty nasty dam

With the damage role, this gives Widowmaker a passive ability that all the damage heroes get. This passive gives her the ability to get an increase in speed and also increased reload speed with each kill she g

Widowmaker is widely used more as a long-shot hero, so you are less likely to be right in there laying down fire. Her assault rifle is not that powerful and has a small magazine, so is best used to just defend yourself if someone gets to you while you're snip

His Scrap Gun is potent and easy to wrap one's head around with its vast spread and compact nature. And players can let loose with his Whole Hog Ultimate, which will pin players against one of the many walls in a given map, or push them over a cl

There are two ways to go about this: restrained, where you knock a few things over just to see if you can, and unhinged, where you attack every object in sight with every weapon at your disposal. Either way, we all do it, and it never loses its

Of course, his bread and butter comes in the form of his deadly Chain Hook and Scrap Gun combo, which is still somewhat impactful despite getting a big nerf in 2023. It does take some practice to use the hook as a way to yank players into a pit, but it's still disruptive in its own ri

After * the mine is triggered *, it will release a cloud of gas that damages any enemies within the gas and you will be notified it has been triggered, as well as lighting up the enemies that are damaged by it, so you can see them through wa

Her Ultimate, Captive Sun , is especially impactful, as it blasts an explosive ball of solar energy. All in its path are bogged down in speed and explode after taking enough damage. Illari's mechanics are pretty straightforward and familiar, while still boasting plenty of useful moves. It certainly helps that she thrives in the current m

There’s a good reason that Pharah is one of the hardest Overwatch characters, and that’s her dependency on movability and counters. Pharah can be a real nuisance due to her constant evading, explosive damage, and flying, but mastering her balance of fuel and firepower is no easy t

Mei is a character full of icy cold features, so if you're going against this hero, getting a bunch of blankets is always a good idea because she won't have any mercy on you. Some unique tricks can make this character super fun to play as her, and here we'll tell you all about t

Speed is key when it comes to Sojourn, one of the leaders of Overwatch’s strike team. Sojourn is back and stronger than ever with the newly formed version of her team, as she is desperate that the team does not make the mistakes of the past. To help her, players will be armed with her Railgun, and her power slide to assist them in making some fast pl
