Emerging from the rich tapestry of Overwatch lore, Brigitte has taken up arms to appeal to disgruntled support players who want to hit people in the face while healing their friends.
Filling a pretty radical new niche, in the case of ‘tanky support’ – Brigitte (pronounced BREH-GEET-UH not BRIDGE-ETT) comes with a slew of ability to both help her friends, and harm her enemies:
ROCKET FLAIL
Brigitte’s melee weapon has an extended range, enabling her to strike multiple enemies with a single swing.
REPAIR PACK
Brigitte throws a Repair Pack that can heal an ally. Any healing over that ally’s maximum health provides them with armor instead.
WHIP SHOT
Brigitte throws her flail a long distance, dealing damage and knocking an enemy away from her.
BARRIER SHIELD
Brigitte deploys a frontal energy barrier to absorb a limited amount of damage.
SHIELD BASH
Once her Barrier Shield is deployed, Brigitte can dash forward to stun an enemy.
RALLY
Brigitte moves faster and provides all nearby allies with armor that lasts until it’s removed by damage.

The daughter of Torbjorn, and the god-daughter of Reinhardt (arguably the greatest character ever) she is sure to fit right in – and have some very interesting voice lines thrown in the mix when beating up her family and friends.
Brigitte comes out …some time soon? Check the Overwatch PTR in the near future!
Known throughout the interwebs simply as M0D3Rn, Ash is bad at video games. An old guard gamer who suffers from being generally opinionated, it comes as no surprise that he is both brutally loyal and yet, fiercely whimsical about all things electronic. On occasion will make a youtube video that actually gets views.
