  • The 29th “Overwatch” hero, Ashe, was revealed during
    BlizzCon 2018.
  • Ashe is the leader of the Deadlock Gang and has a
    longstanding grudge against McCree, one of the original
    “Overwatch” heroes.
  • She is a damage hero with a mix of ranged weapons and a
    unique support ability as her ultimate.
  • Ashe will be playable on the PC test server before
    arriving for free on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the coming
    weeks.

The latest hero to join the cast of “Overwatch” is Ashe, the
leader of the Deadlock Gang. Ashe was revealed during BlizzCon,
Activision-Blizzard’s annual fan conference.

She is the 29th “Overwatch” hero and the first damage hero added
to the game since “Doomfist” arrived in July 2017.

Here’s a quick breakdown of Ashe’s abilities

  • The Viper is Ashe’s main weapon, a semi-automatic rifle. The
    gun is capable of quick shots, but does more damage when she aims
    down the sights.
  • Dynamite explodes in an area after a short delay, dealing
    damage over time. Ashe can shoot the dynamite to trigger the
    explosion early.
  • Coach Gun is a short range shotgun that knocks enemies away
    and can be used to propel Ashe in different directions.
  • B.O.B is Ashe’s ultimate, calling in an omnic member of her
    gang for additional fire support.

A new animated short released during BlizzCon shows a bit of
Ashe’s history with McCree, one of the original “Overwatch”
heroes. The two gunslingers find themselves in a stand-off over a
valuable payload on the familiar Route 66 map.

Ashe will be playable on the PC test server before arriving for
free on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the coming weeks.
