During Blizzard's opening event at Blizzcon 2023, the very first information were shared on what's can be found in season 8 and beyond in Overwatch 2. Amongst the myriad of brand-new material is a trio of brand-new heroes. While the brand-new heroes each fit into the Tank, Support, and Damage functions, just the latest Tank function, Mauga, was offered a complete take a look at his approaching set. While onsite at Blizzcon 2023, we went hands-on with the double chaingun-wielding Samoan in live gameplay on Xbox Series X.

His main and secondary weapons each offer comparable damage by themselves and pull from the exact same 300-round ammunition supply however each offer various mechanics that work best in tandem. His main, Incendiary Chaingun, will spark opponents after striking them with sufficient shots on target (a minimum of 10 shots from preliminary screening). On the other hand, his secondary Volatile Chaingun will deal important damage to burning opponents. Integrating the 2 together, you can burn an opponent below complete health immediately, no pun planned. To stabilize this, his precision instantly decreases the drain and striking anything that isn't in melee variety will most likely miss its designated mark.

That being stated, couple of heroes might manage the complete force of even a number of seconds of pressure from both chainguns shooting in tandem unless they were another Tank class in Overwatch 2. Versus another Mauga in the training level, it would take 6 seconds with simply the main chaingun and around 190 bullets. Relatively, holding down both main and secondary attacks would burn down all 500 of Mauga's health in seventy-five rounds and hardly more than 2 seconds. Because both weapons share the exact same ammo swimming pool, that 300-round capability can burn down rapidly under focused fire. Each weapon takes approximately 17 seconds to clear the complete capability when shooting by themselves, or simply 7 seconds with both being fired together. Rather unsurprising for the girth of his chainguns, Mauga can refill back up to complete capability in simply 2 seconds. And in case you were questioning, Mauga's called his double tools of damage Gunny and Cha-Cha, respectively.

The very first of Mauga's Tank capability package is Overrun, an unstoppable charge forward that ends with a stomp that can release opponents in the air. Throughout our group interview with 4 of Overwatch 2's advancement group, they hinted that ending the charge straight on an opponent would stun them momentarily. Moreso than that, stopping the charge on a weakened opponent Reaper would deal adequate damage to eliminate them outright. If not, then they would be shocked simply enough time for Mauga's chainguns to complete the task. Being an unstoppable capability, even if Mauga is struck by Ana's sleep dart, he'll advance. There's likewise a restricted capability to guide left and ideal instead of simply a fixed forward charge. Overrun still has some kinks to exercise, particularly with getting tripped up over stairs or running into other things in the environment to stop his charge.

Mauga's other active capability, Cardiac Overdrive, turns the Samoan titan into all 3 functions simultaneously in Overwatch 2. While dealing the very same damage as constantly, Mauga drops an AoE aura that will lower the damage taken and supply a lifesteal impact that recovers any ally within the barrier. For Mauga himself, it isn't sufficient to recover over continual damage by itself however it can supply much-needed relief when attempting to hold the payload while the group's therapist returns into position. And if you're a Reaper primary, Cardiac Overdrive will stack with his signature passive recovery capability.
