Reaper’s life in Overwatch is pretty difficult. His whole schtick is being dark and mysterious and wraithly and so forth, but that can’t work well for him when, say, he just needs to stop at a fast food joint and pick up some burgers because he’s hungry. Or when all he wants to do is just kick back and watch a comedy movie. Being that creepy all the time takes a lot of energy. But the newest gameplay video for him isn’t focused on him as he’s trying to shop for swimsuits in Target; it’s about how he shoots people on the battlefield.
While he has some range, Reaper is indisputably a close-range fighter with his twin shotguns; the upside is that those shotguns pack a lot of force. Swapping into a wraith form and using a short-range teleport allows him to close and create distance as needed, while his ultimate ability explodes outward with damage for all nearby enemies. But don’t take our word for it; check it out in the video just below.
