The highly-anticipated second edition of the household hero-shooter, Overwatch, is finally live. Gamers both familiar and new to the game are scrambling to try out the new reworks and heroes OW2 has to offer.  You might be a new player trying out OW for the first time or maybe you’re an old-time player looking to sharpen their skills up to par.

Don’t worry. We got you 5 straightforward tips that will help you sharpen your skills in Overwatch 2 and keep you prepared for the challenges to come.

Best Tips to Help You Improve Your Skills in Overwatch 2

Overwatch has always been a fast-paced hero-shooter that requires you to have aim yet good coordination with your team to win matches. As such, we will be talking about both aim mechanics and game sense. Let’s get to it.

1. Rotations

Rotations simply mean rotating to a better position. Have you noticed at times when your team just can’t push the payload forward? It’s most likely because of Rotations.

All 6 players trying to mindlessly push one direction will get you nowhere. Instead, use the terrain to your advantage. Go flank or whenever you’re defending use the high ground to give your enemies a hard time pushing.

2. Look at your Team

Sounds like something simple right? But actually, it is something that most players tend to forget. New Players can exponentially improve their gameplay by doing these simple actions.

Looking at your team allows you to identify the position of your teammates. This makes sure that you time your attacks with your team. Your flanks or pushes against the enemy team will be useless if your teammates are not in the line of sight to follow up on the damage.

3. Practice mechanics

Overwatch at its core is an FPS(First-Person-Shooter) game. As such, aim or the ability to hit your shots at enemies is crucial.

At least dedicate solid 10 minutes to custom games for aim. Make sure you use a very comfortable sensitivity for you. This will allow you to aim without thinking about it too much, freeing up space in your mind for other game-winning strategies.

4. Mentality in OW2

This simply means don’t get tilted. If you’re the kind o player that often gets tilted, it’s most likely because of your mindset.

Instead of focusing on mindless wins and rank, it’s better to focus on improvement. Overwatch 2 is likely to attract new players to try it out, so it’s better to be patient with these new players and teach them the ropes rather than raging at something you cannot control.

5. Find out the purpose of your Hero

Every hero or character in OW has a specific role to fulfill. For Ana, it’s to support and heal her teammates, and for Reinhart, it’s to as a frontline to make space for your Damage dealers to push.

Overwatch 2 is introducing a lot of reworks and new heroes, so before you try them out it’s better to have an idea of the purpose of their class.

This allows you to better position yourself on matches to know how to provide the best value for your teammates.
