Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 combat
Overwatch 2 combat is short. This page covers first shots, lane holds, and resets around ult tracking.
Pick the first shot
Win the first angle. Overwatch 2 players who wide-swing every door lose to someone waiting on high ground.
Keep the crosshair at the height the next player will appear. Fancy movement is slower than a ready lane.
Hold a lane
One lane is enough. Cover supports and let teammates take the rest.
Blizzard Warden updates do not change this: a calm hold still beats a panic swing.
Reset after the spray
After the spray, reload behind cover and count steps. 5v5 objective maps with role queues and ultimate economy punishes people who chase while empty.
If the fight is even, leave. flank timing is still there on the next pass.
Keep this page for the basics, then you can also explore related resources.
