Overwatch 2 Mauga Hands-On Impressions – Cha-Cha Now Y’all
04.11.2023 - 02:21 / wccftech.com
During Blizzard's opening ceremony at Blizzcon 2023, first details were shared on what's coming in season 8 and beyond in Overwatch 2. Among the plethora of new content is a trio of new heroes. While the new heroes each fit into the Tank, Support, and Damage roles, only the newest Tank role, Mauga, was given a full look at his upcoming kit. While onsite at Blizzcon 2023, we went hands-on with the dual chaingun-wielding Samoan in live gameplay on Xbox Series X.
For a quick recap on the latest Tank's abilities, here's what players can expect with Mauga's kit. His primary and secondary weapons each deal similar damage on their own and pull from the same 300-round ammo supply but each deal different mechanics that work best in tandem. His primary, Incendiary Chaingun, will ignite enemies after hitting them with enough shots on target (at least ten shots from initial testing). Conversely, his secondary Volatile Chaingun will deal critical damage to burning enemies. Combining the two together, you can burn an enemy down from full health in a matter of seconds, no pun intended. To balance this, his accuracy immediately goes down the drain and hitting anything that isn't in melee range will probably miss its intended mark.
That being said, few heroes could handle the full brunt of of even a couple seconds of pressure from both chainguns firing in tandem unless they were another Tank class in Overwatch 2. Against another Mauga in the training level, it would take six seconds with just the primary chaingun and approximately 190 bullets. Comparatively, holding down both primary and secondary attacks would burn down all 500 of Mauga's health in seventy-five rounds and barely more than two seconds. Since both weapons share the same ammunition pool, that 300 round capacity can burn down quickly under concentrated fire. Each weapon takes roughly 17 seconds to empty the full capacity when firing on their own, or just 7 seconds with both being fired together. Quite unsurprising for the girth of his chainguns, Mauga can reload back up to full capacity in just two seconds. And in case you were wondering, Mauga's named his dual tools of destruction Gunny and Cha-Cha, respectively.
The first of Mauga's Tank ability kit is Overrun, an unstoppable charge forward that ends with a stomp that can launch enemies in the air. During our group interview with four of Overwatch 2's development team, they hinted that ending the charge directly on an enemy would stun them temporarily. Moreso than that, stopping the charge on a weakened enemy Reaper would deal enough damage to kill them outright. If not, then they would be stunned just long enough for Mauga's chainguns to finish the job. Being an unstoppable ability, even if Mauga is hit
