Overwatch 2 will have another closed PvP beta on June 28th, adding two new maps – Rio and Portugal – along with a new hero in the Junker Queen. The new Tank and all-around aggressive leader of Junkertown has an interesting backstory and abilities. In a new tweet, the development team has laid out her entire kit.
Scattergun is her pump-action shotgun for some ranged combat. Carnage is the name of the Junker Queen’s axe which wounds foes and deals damage over time. Jagged Blade is a quick melee attack that can also inflict wounds but can also be thrown from a distance (re-activating the ability returns it to you).
Commanding Shout increases movement speed by 30 percent while buffing her HP by 200 and that of her allies by 100. Her Ultimate “Rampage” sees the Junker Queen charging forward with a spinning attack, inflicting wounds and reducing healing received. Wounds pair well with her passive “Adrenaline Rush” which heals for all damage dealt over time.
The upcoming beta will be available for PCs and consoles. Players will need to opt-in or purchase the Watchpoint Pack. Overwatch 2 launches into free-to-play early access on October 4th.
