    About this ebook

    Targeted to gamers between the ages of eight and twelve, this full-color, unofficial, ninety-six-page strategy guide will cover the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC editions of Blizzard Entertainment’s mega-popular game Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition. Each section of the book will feature detailed, yet easy-to-understand tips and strategies, along with screenshots that will help readers quickly master the game when experiencing the Competitive Play (multiplayer) mode.

    Overwatch Hacks will offer details about each of the game’s 26 core heroes, and describe each hero’s unique strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and ultimate abilities. Since Overwatch is all about multi-player team play, an emphasis on what each hero’s abilities are best suited for—related to offense, defense, tank, or support—will be covered, as will how a player should adapt their overall gameplay strategy based on which hero they choose to control, and what role they’ll be playing as a member of their team. This game is very much about team collaboration, communication, and coordination, and the tips and strategies outlined in this book will focus heavily on these elements of the game.

    Readers will also discover what they need to know about the maps and locations where battles occur, and learn how to adapt their strategy based on their location within the game in order to complete location-specific objectives. Finally, this guide will offer tips for best utilizing customization options and loot. Whether a gamer is playing with AI controlled team members, random online players, or their best friends, the reader will go into each battle and adventure with the knowledge and strategies needed to achieve victory.

    As a team-based shooter set in the near future, Overwatch was one of the fastest games in history to attract more than 30 million active players. It continues to win awards and be among the most popular multiplayer games available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC platforms.

      Overwatch Hacks - Jason R. Rich

      SECTION I:

      OVERVIEW OF OVERWATCH

      Welcome to a future version of Earth. War has destroyed much of the planet. It’s now time for a group of heroes to rebuild and try to make things better. In Overwatch, instead of being a soldier tasked with defeating your enemies single-handedly, in most gameplay modes you are part of a six-person team.

      Overwatch has become one of the most popular team-oriented, multi-player shooting games in the world.

      Unlike in other first-person shooters, you must work together with your allies to achieve victory in battle, as well as complete specific mission objectives. Once you select a hero and join a team, you’re transported to one of numerous locations around the world where the action quickly unfolds.

      While Overwatch brings together a ragtag collection of human soldiers, robots, cyborgs, and genetically engineered animals—a.k.a. heroes—who fight together in teams, the game itself doesn’t have too much of a storyline. Instead, what transpires in matches depends on the individual characters that make up each team, and the location where the action takes place. However, if you’re a noob (a new or low-ranked player), you’ll discover that each hero has their own unique backstory, which often reveals how their special powers or capabilities came to be.

      Blizzard Entertainment’s official Play Overwatch YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/blizzard) offers a collection of animated videos that reveal relevant plotlines and hero backgrounds not included in the game itself, so be sure to check it out!

      Each game map (location) offers a unique layout, a different selection of obstacles, and specific objectives your team must achieve to be victorious. Each hero is unique right from the start, but can be further customized with skins, weapons, victory poses, sprays, voice lines, and highlight intros that can be unlocked by individual players. In fact, each hero has between sixty-eight and ninety-four possible unlocks that can be earned, acquired, or purchased over time.

      Lijiang Tower is just one of the exotic destinations you’ll soon be visiting.

      Overwatch Is Almost Identical Across Hardware Platforms

      Currently available for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Windows-based PCs, Overwatch: Game of the Year is basically the same across all gaming platforms. The biggest difference is the control you have over heroes when playing with the PS4 DualShock 4 controller or Xbox One controller versus a computer keyboard and mouse.

      The game requires Internet connectivity, along with a membership to PlayStation Plus (PS4), Xbox Live Gold (Xbox One), or BlizzardBattle.net (PC). You’re about to experience a game that, since its release in May 2016, has won more than one hundred Game of the Year awards and has more than 35 million active players around the world.

      Blizzard Entertainment continues to release regular game updates and patches, which often introduce new heroes and maps, tweak the capabilities of existing heroes, and sometimes add new gameplay modes or elements. So if you notice something different in this guide, chances are it’s a result of a new update or patch. This guide is based on the Overwatch: Game of the Year edition.

      Moira was the 26th hero to be added to the game.

      Hero #27 (a Support hero named Brigitte), was released into the game in March 2018. (Visit: https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/overwatch/21590096/new-hero-first-look-brigitte to learn more.) Brigitte’s primary weapon is a Rocket Flail. She also has a Barrier Shields and Shield Dash, along with other powerful moves.

      Brigitte’s Ultimate move is called Rally. It allows her to move faster, plus provide armor to allies who are close to her.
