With Overwatch 2 turning the game free to play, it’s only natural that there will be countless new people in the game and, with more players in the game, it’s common to get lost in all the new characters and what they can do. The game even locks a significant portion of its roster to newcomers, so they don’t get as overwhelmed at first. All that said, which characters would be a good choice for beginners to the g
Blizzard World is exactly what it says on the tin; a theme park filled with attractions themed after Blizzard’s various properties. Warcraft , StarCraft , Hearthstone , Diablo , Heroes of the Storm , and even The Lost Vikings, all get shout-outs that should make any Blizzard fan ha
Reinhardt is the tankiest of all tanks in the game. Big health, and a big shield, make him powerful to protect both himself and others. His abilities are very straightforward, dashing around the map, using fire projectiles to get rid of targets who are further away, and being one of the few characters that use a melee wea
Overwatch 2 divides all of its heroes into three types of roles: Damage, Tank, and Support . One look at Cassidy and his appearances in the game’s cinematics, and you can tell that he doesn’t belong to the Tank or Support role . Cassidy is one of the many Damage characters present in the g
One of the most common mistakes you can make while learning Cassidy is forgetting one of the elements of your dash . It is a great skill for mobility when you have to quickly run back to the fighting area from your spawn, but the instant reload is what makes this ability the best part of his k
Whether old or new, Eichenwalde is still among the best of the best of what Overwatch 2 Strategy can offer. The map takes place in an abandoned town in Germany, overgrown with nature. There’s a certain somberness to it as you fight through the city with the payl
Another interesting combo since these characters essentially do the same thing. Normally, a single sniper would be more than enough, but if you and your friend have good aim, you might control the game with t
It features a five versus five gameplay where you have objectives ranging from escorting or stopping a payload, to capturing a certain area for a certain amount of time. Playing Cassidy gives a whole different vibe to this fast-paced game, and it might be just the thing to get you hoo
The idea here is that, though they’re both snipers, both Widowmaker and Hanzo can instantly kill someone (who isn’t a tank) in a single hit through a headshot. They can get rid of almost everyone with nothing but good aim, and their abilities can also help them a lot in tight situations. They can even help one another through the see-through-wall abilities they both present. The large cover of Widowmaker’s Infra-Sight would pair perfectly with Hanzo’s Dragonstrike Ultimate since it can pass through solid surfa
Quite a lot of people are annoyed by this mechanic in the game, but you might as well use it while it’s there. You don’t have to aim his grenade ability directly at the enemy . Even if you throw it a few inches away from them, you’ll see it getting dragged onto them. They truly meant the Magnetic part in the na
Players finally get to go to Lúcio’s home in Brazil, and it fully lives up to expectations. Paraíso is full of bright colors and amazing vistas that make you wish you were there in real life. The beach, with its view of skyscrapers and mountains in the distance, is one of the most beautiful sights in the g
The map is no slouch as a competitive location either, with the attackers moving from the initial control point into the city. The narrow city streets, filled with color and graffiti, provide plenty of opportunities for flankers – be sure to keep a watch for t
Genji, on the other hand , is a perfect character to haunt your enemies’ dreams, especially if they’re playing support. Though he’s difficult to master, he is probably the most devastating DPS, with quick mobility, high damage, the ability to deflect projectiles, and a powerful dash that resets every time you kill someone, allowing you to dash over and over among low-health enemies. While Cassidy destroys the frontline with the group, Genji can disrupt them from behind, destroying the enemy team complet
From the sound of it, Cassidy’s ultimate sounds broken since it can one-shot multiple enemies within a couple of seconds . But your positioning can make this ability completely useless. It is important to make sure that you can have a line of sight on more than one character when you decide to use the abil
Talking about positioning, another thing to keep in mind is that Cassidy doesn’t have an easy escape . His dash is extremely short, and it can be easily overestimated if you’re trying him out for the first ti
This creates a dynamic environment that’s especially good for flankers and snipers. Whether they’re using one of the many entrances and hallways, or claiming a high bridge on the map for themselves, you should always be sure to stay on your t
