Overwatch’s Symmetra is getting a second ultimate to make her more viable

Symmetra players no longer have to settle for throwing up a teleporter when it will do little to help your team.

Publisher Blizzard Entertainment announced is updating the support hero Symmetra in its team-based shooter Overwatch. The biggest change is that the character, who specializes in providing shields and a teleport to help fallen heroes get back into the fight, now has two ultimate moves to choose from. Players can now choose between using her existing teleporter or a new shield generator depending on what they need for the situation they find themselves in. The alternative ultimate provides your entire team with powerful shields until the opposing squad destroys it. Blizzard plans to launch this Symmetra update on its test servers “very soon” now that it has officially launched the Arcade mode and Sombra character it was previously experimenting with.
