Overwatch 2 is about to enter its second week of full release, with the game seemingly on track to meet the standards of its predecessor. While the news about switching to a 5v5 game format was met with some skepticism, players don’t seem to have many problems regarding the changes it brings to the actual gameplay.

As some things changed, so did many heroes that carried over to Overwatch 2 from the original game. Although certain characters have received significant reworks to fit in with the new status quo, some have only received minor tweaks while others have seen almost no changes.

Genji is one such hero who has only received minor changes to his skills and abilities, which will be discussed in this guide for Overwatch 2. Read on if you’re a new player getting into Overwatch because it is now free-to-play or a returning veteran looking to re-familiarize yourself with the cyber ninja’s skillset.

Unless you already own Overwatch, you won’t be able to access Genji from the very beginning of the game, as he is not one of the 15 characters available at the start. Fortunately, unlocking him is simple, as all you need to do is complete the initial tutorial and play a few matches.

In Overwatch 2, the only way to unlock all of the game's characters is by playing through 150 unranked matches. At certain milestones, you’ll be rewarded with certain heroes, and Genji can be attained right after playing a single match (you might even get D.Va as a bonus if you win the round).

Genji is a damage class hero and, as such, is well equipped to dish out a great deal of damage, mainly with the use of melee weapons. In Overwatch 2, damage heroes can either take out targets easily with significant attacking power or quickly finish off opponents
