Overwatch's Next Hero Comes With A Badass Grappling Hook (And Juicy Lore Opportunities)
"Sierra is ultimately unsuccessful in her attempts, and Emre and Freja take off with the stolen goods. However, this trailer does give us a first glimpse at how this new Damage Hero might play."
"Sierra looks like your standard run-and-gun hero, equipped with a pulse rifle of sorts. While the gun has a rapid main fire, Sierra can seemingly also take aim with the weapon and dish out a powerful, high-caliber round that embeds itself in her enemies."
"What truly sets her apart, however, are her tech capabilities, as Sierra seems to possess the ability to unleash a drone strike as well as send her drone to a select location than use it as a grapple point."
"In the trailer, Sierra refers to the vault that Emre broke into as the Naughton Vault--presumably in reference to Victoria Naughton, the Overwatch scientist who led the Soldier Enhancement Program and experimented on both Soldier 76 and Reaper."
Overwatch has added a new hero named Sierra, revealed in the animated short Summit Breach. Sierra attempts to thwart a heist by the Deadlock crime syndicate but fails. She is a run-and-gun character equipped with a pulse rifle and possesses unique tech capabilities, including drone strikes and grapple points. The trailer also hints at deeper lore connections, referencing the Naughton Vault and its ties to past Overwatch events, particularly involving Soldier 76 and the Soldier Enhancement Program.
