Sojourn<\/strong> is ready to deploy. As a former Overwatch 2 Captain<\/strong>, Sojourn<\/strong> fields abilities designed to plan, lead, and execute strikes on her opposition.<\/p>\n

Who is Sojourn in Overwatch 2?<\/h2>\n

The 33rd Hero on the roster, Sojourn<\/strong> offers a unique mid-range gameplay experience and a kit packed with some incredible mobility and artillery. Senior Hero Designer Josh Noh has been leading the charge on her gameplay development, while Narrative Designer Miranda Moyer wrote many of Sojourn\u2019s in-game voice lines<\/strong>. They’re both here to give us insight into her conceptualization and play style.<\/p>\n

What role is Sojourn in Overwatch 2?<\/h3>\n

Getting into more technical details, Sojourn<\/strong> is a mid-range damage hero with mobility and anti-flank potential. The details of her abilities were revealed in a gameplay trailer and accompanying graphic, both of which show exactly how she\u2019ll work in Overwatch 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sojourn\u2019s signature weapon<\/strong> is a railgun that shoots rapid-fire projectiles, each of which generates energy on impact. Her gun also has a secondary fire that shoots a \u201chigh-impact shot.\u201d This shot consumes all the energy she stored through her primary fire.<\/p>\n

Sojourn<\/strong> also comes with some exciting abilities. Power Slide<\/strong> is a mobility ability that allows her to slide across the ground. Canceling the slide turns it into a high jump similar to Baptiste that gives her brief aerial potential. Disruptor Shot launches an energy shot that both slows enemies within its area of effect and damages them. Her ultimate ability, Overclock, charges her railgun automatically for a short period of time and makes charged shots pierce enemies, enabling her to potentially hit more than one enemy at a time.<\/p>\n

Sojourn<\/strong> will definitely be one of the most popular picks when she arrives with Overwatch 2\u2019s beta<\/strong>. Players will have to wait until then to try out her abilities for the first time and see how she does against the franchise\u2019s returning cast.<\/p>\n

Railgun<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Railgun\u2019s primary fire<\/strong> is a rapid projectile that generates energy on hit. The energy Sojourn<\/strong> generates from her primary charges up her secondary, which is a high-impact shot that consumes the stored energy. \u201cThe Railgun is where Sojourn<\/strong> started,\u201d says Noh. \u201cWe wanted to make a mid-range hero that rewards accuracy, but still make it fun for varying levels of skill and gameplay.\u201d Sojourn<\/strong> can be a difficult hero to play\u2014the more accurate your aim, the more effective you’re going to be with her Railgun, resulting in a high skill ceiling with a lot of power weighted in her Railgun\u2019s secondary fire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Disruptor Shot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disruptor Shot is an AOE ability that will snare enemies and eat away at their health. Sojourn<\/strong> can use this to increase the effectiveness of her Railgun<\/strong>. Early prototypes of this ability did massive damage to barriers, but the ability was finalized to complement her secondary fire. \u201cDisrupter Shot evolved from shredding barriers to slowing enemies down with a snare that allows Sojourn<\/strong> to get an easier shot with her secondary fire.\u201d<\/p>\n
