Who wouldn’t want a Torbjörn turret standing in their room? Some Overwatch fans thought the same and simply developed it.
Torbjörn must truly be proud of these four engineers, as they completed Torbjörn’s turret before the Swede could even get to it – after all, Overwatch is set in the future.
In a video just over 3 minutes long, the team from “KONGDOLE” shows what they have been working on in recent months and showcases their ready-to-use turret based on Torbjörn.
Not quite like the original: However, there are a few modifications from the original. The turret must be operated manually with a controller, and automatic targeting is still missing. The firepower also leaves much to be desired. It probably won’t be enough to scare off pesky Reapers, but it should be sufficient to impress little brothers.
Community thought it was a new hero: A look at the comments on YouTube shows that players expected something entirely different from the video. They only saw the name “KONGDOLE” in caps lock and thought it referred to a new hero. Thus, a large portion of the comments consists of phrases like “I thought that’s a new hero…”
This was likely due to the unfortunate title choice of the video, which was titled “Overwatch Presents: KONGDOLE Production’s Hero Story,” sounding to many like a new “hero story” for a fresh hero in Overwatch. These thoughts were fueled by discoveries last week that hinted at a new hero emerging soon. In truth, however, they were “only” real heroes.
What do you think of this Torbjörn turret? A cool idea and would you like to have something like this in your room? Or is it silly to recreate such things in real life?
