Sigma's Experimental Barrier is a versatile tool that can protect your team in a variety of situations . By holding the secondary fire button, you can move the Barrier forward , allowing you to set up a barrier much farther away from your team. Additionally, by pressing the secondary fire button again, you can manually recall the barri

By heading to Career Profile and selecting the Statistics tab, you can select different heroes and go over your stats. You can see your average death rate, how many kills you get per ten minutes, and more. This is a good starting point for looking over your performance and setting goals . If your deaths per ten are high, you can set a goal to decrease this and start playing more conservatively. While it is important to be aware of your stats and understand what they mean, they can also hinder you if you over-analyze them too much as w

Accretion deals high damage and knocks down its target on a direct hit , making it a great tool for finishing off low-health enemies or stunning a flanking Tracer or Genji for a moment, allowing your team to capitalize. If Accretion does not directly strike an enemy, it will still deal damage in the area where it lands, and has a slight knockback effect, which can be used to push enemies off ledges or into voids on certain maps, like Nepal or Il

On a sadder note, but one that is important to keep alive, we have a tribute to a real person on Lijiang Tower. The reference is to Wu Hongyu, a Chinese student who was rather excited about the release of the original Overwatch 2 updates. He died trying to prevent a robbery, one day before the game's rele

Free insta-kills are not something to take lightly . Though Cole Cassidy's ultimate will make you quite vulnerable (the element of surprise is important here too), if you have enough time and good positioning, you can kill everyone in front of you. If you don't have time to kill them, you can still severely damage them in the process. It's also a good way to counter an annoying Pharah/Mercy combo in the air. However, don't forget that attacks can also be blocked through shields and similar things, so bew

Being a five vs five game with over 30 characters, Overwatch 2 is oddly balanced while making every character unique and fun to play. The developers put a lot of detail in the lore and abilities of every character they put out, and players can even play as the villains of the st

As mentioned above, Rocket Punch can push enemies back quite far, and this includes pushing them off the ledges . If you see an enemy hanging around one of these, make sure you dash toward them as soon as possible to catch them off guard and watch them fall to their dea

However, in some cases, you may want to save a charge of your barriers to place on an ally who is using their Ultimate . Heroes like Soldier: 76, Genji, Pharah, or Cassidy , who may be vulnerable during their Ultimate , can be saved by a well-timed barrier . Communicate with your team to determine when your allies will use their Ultimates, and save a Projected Barrier for these instan

Though it has the downside of being unmovable, requiring good positioning from anyone who wants to use it, Amplification Matrix can be a great way to force your way through choke points or to defend areas. It also combos well with something like Tactical Visor, making Soldier 76 a good friend to have aro

Take into consideration how much range your supports have, how much mobility your damage heroes have, or what your tank's kit lets them do and how that can help the team. Often it doesn't matter who switches to fit team synergy, someone just has to. If your supports are close-range healers like Lucio and Brigitte is it smart or safe to pick Pharah? If your DPS are playing Bastion and Torbjorn would bunker-like Reinhardt make more sense or would hyper-mobile Junkerqueen ? Watching gameplay and conversing with others who play the game will help you learn over time as w

While trapped in Gravitic Flux, enemies will still be able to use their abilities , as applicable, but your team will be able to shoot them , too. In this way, Gravitic Flux can be combined with other teammates' abilities , trapping them in place for a few seconds while they eliminate t

Zarya's protective bubble barriers are her number one asset, and something you'll need to always keep track of. Both of her protective barriers share a cooldown , meaning you'll need to carefully decide which one to use at any given moment . Usually, you'll want to use her personal bubble , as this will allow you to more accurately control how much damage you are taking , and thus how much Energy you abso

He also shares a passive with the rest of the Tank characters in the game that allows him to get knocked back less by the enemy . Furthermore, he generates a bit of his ultimate by taking damage or healing . This can help him protect his team bet

A simple yet effective ultimate , and also perfect to make combos with other ultimates. Ana can make another teammate temporarily stronger and more resistant, turning them into a powerful killing machine. This works extremely well with Tanks, who are already tough by nature, making them quite unstoppable in the proc
