Two of these heroes, Anran and Jetpack Cat, joined the fray on the side of Overwatch, the game&#8217;s titular organization of do-gooders. The other three, however, had more nefarious intents. Now, Blizzard is balancing the scales with the introduction of a new Overwatch member: Sierra.<\/p>\n<p>The studio officially revealed the upcoming hero in the animated short Summit Breach, in which Sierra attempts to stop Deadlock, a crime syndicate operating in the American Southwest, mid-heist. Sierra is ultimately unsuccessful in her attempts, and Emre and Freja take off with the stolen goods. However, this trailer does give us a first glimpse at how this new Damage Hero might play.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to Emre, Sojourn, and Soldier 76, Sierra looks like your standard run-and-gun hero, equipped with a pulse rifle of sorts. While the gun has a rapid main fire, Sierra can seemingly also take aim with the weapon and dish out a powerful, high-caliber round that embeds itself in her enemies. What truly sets her apart, however, are her tech capabilities, as Sierra seems to possess the ability to unleash a drone strike as well as send her drone to a select location than use it as a grapple point. Blizzard has yet to release a full overview of her kit, but should do so ahead of her April 14 debut.<\/p>\n<p>Continue Reading at GameSpot<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/overwatchs-next-hero-comes-with-a-badass-grappling-hook-and-juicy-lore-opportunities\/1100-6539284\/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, Overwatch broke the internet (and its own concurrent-player records) by adding five new heroes to its ranks.
