And once again, there is new gameplay material for Blizzard’s upcoming team shooter Overwatch. This time we get 8 minutes from the perspective of the Indian hero Satya Vaswani, better known as Symmetra, who is already infamous for her portal.
Symmetra: Many turrets and an aimbot
Similar to Mercy, Symmetra is also a support character, which of course doesn’t mean that she can’t cause devastation on the battlefield herself.
- Her “Photon Projector” has two firing modes: In the first, she fires a beam that continuously becomes stronger and remains on the target as long as you stay close to it – so precise aiming is not necessary.
- In the second mode, a strong energy orb is charged, which flies slowly in one direction and deals heavy damage along the way.
- Her “turrets” can also be extremely disruptive: They can be attached to any surface and target nearby enemies, slowing and damaging them. Multiple turrets can quickly lead to death without Symmetra even being nearby.
- The “Photon Barrier” can be applied to allies and effectively increases their shield points by a fixed amount. The shield remains active until the team member dies and can be active on multiple targets simultaneously. A Symmetra on the team automatically means that the entire group becomes tougher.
Her ultimate ability is the teleporter, which can be placed anywhere on the map. As long as it remains, revived heroes can return to the battle directly from the starting point. However, since the teleporter can be destroyed, it’s wise to find a good hiding spot for it or secure it sufficiently with turrets.
But as always, words can convey little of what you can see much better in the video. Enjoy!
