We hope you’ve always wanted to trap Zenyatta in a cage and make him fight to the death. I know I have.
Get in the cage, kid
Two hearts, two unique guns, and no armor.The Overwatch 2 Tank Maugais a beast and so are his abilities. “Mauga features a kit that is designed to bash through the front lines and brawl his opponents in close-quarter combat,” says the official release. He is described as “wielding two powerful Chainguns that can either be fired individually or in unison.”
These two guns sit at the core of Mauga and his abilities. The primary fire, Incendiary Chaingun, ignites enemies once they’ve taken enough sustained fire. Meanwhile, the right-click, Volatile Chaingun, has a chance of critical damage–even when not hitting the head.
