Overwatch 2 Orisa rework changes
Orisa’s Overwatch 2 design is attempting to change the bunker-style tank from the ground up. Orisa will no longer be behind a shield and firing away; instead, she’ll need to take command of the front line.
Augmented Fusion Driver
- Now rapidly fires large projectiles
- Projectiles start large and shrink down
- Uses a heat mechanic instead of ammo
Energy Javelin
- Launch a javelin at an enemy to stun and knock them back. More effective if the enemy hits a wall
Javelin Spin
- Spin the javelin to destroy projectiles, push enemies and increase forward speed
Fortify
- Now also gains 125 temporary health
- Now also slowed by 20% while active
- Reduces heat generated from firing by 50% while active
New Ultimate: Terra Surge
- Sweep in enemies and anchor down, gaining the effects of Fortify and charging up a surge of damage
- Use Primary Fire to unleash the surge early.
Overwatch 2 Orisa Rework will make the hero ditch her shield for a more sophisticated javelin. In Overwatch 2, players are sure to enjoy the more proactive version of Orisa. At least, launching a huge spear at foes is bound to elicit some delight during gameplay. By the way, Overwatch clone ‘Gundam Evolution’ exceeds expectations.
