Orisa is Overwatch’s next character — a machine-gun wielding alternative to Reinhardt

Blizzard has unveiled the new hero that is joining the Overwatch team.

Orisa is a new robotic Omnic character that has an enormous four-legged body. She is the newest tank, and she should shake up matches with her new capabilities. Orisa uses a machine gun called the Fusion Driver. The weapon’s secondary fire is a pulse shot that will suck players into a space for a short amount of time — it’s like a miniature version of Zarya’s ultimate, except it’s available more frequently. Orisa’s core ability is called Fortify, and it not only makes the robot tougher, it also neutralizes the effects of crowd-control weapons like Pharah’s concussive blast. She also has a protective barrier that is like Reinhardt’s shield, but she can place it wherever she wants.
