Baptiste Hits Overwatch On March 19th

Overwatch really is the game that keeps on giving. I would go as far as to say that this is one of my all-time favorite first person shooters and it is a game I always come back to. A huge reason for this is that Blizzard keeps putting new characters maps and game modes into the game and they do all of this for free!

Baptiste is the 30th Overwatch hero and he is making the step up from the PC PTR and is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the 19th of March. I have been loving the trailers and teasers that Blizzard have done for Baptiste and as you would expect from a new Overwatch hero he has a lot of backstory.

What is more exciting than the way he is designed and his motivations is the way that he plays. He has a cool gun that can shoot off three biotic grenades at a time, he can jump really high and he has some great abilities. One of these is the Regenerative Burst. This is kind of like Solider 76 healing abilitys. Except when activated it is literally a burst and players once hit will heal over time, even if they leave Baptiste’s side.

His Ultimate sounds really cool, The Amplification Matrix. This is a (shield) that he puts up and then anything that your team shoots through it has its effects doubled. This goes for attacks as well as healing.

I really cannot wait to get to play as Baptiste when he drops next week. From what I have seen from people on YouTube who have been playing as him on the PC. He looks like he is a lot of fun to play as. He can heal his teammates, but he can still kick some butt in his own right.
