Overwatch 2 Introduces Hazard, a Mobility-Focused Tank with Unique Spike-Based Abilities

The new tank hero is available for a limited preview this weekend, showcasing a versatile kit designed for aggressive and defensive playstyles.

Hazard, Overwatch 2’s newest tank hero, combines high mobility with versatile offensive and defensive abilities, offering a playstyle that blends dive and brawl tactics.
Key abilities include Bonespur, a shotgun-like primary fire; Jagged Wall, a spiked barrier that knocks back enemies; and Violent Leap, a forward lunge with a follow-up melee attack.
Hazard’s ultimate ability, Downpour, rains spikes over a wide area, immobilizing enemies and making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks, even through walls and terrain.
The character’s passive ability, Vault, allows him to scale walls, enhancing his mobility and enabling creative positioning and team coordination.
Hazard is available for a trial period from November 22-25, with a full release scheduled for December 10 as part of Overwatch 2’s Season 14 update.
