Overwatch 2 is ending its first week with about 10 million players getting into the game, so it’s safe to say it is set to be as famous as its predecessor. The fact that it is free-to-play should also bring in a significant increase in player count over time, and with so many diverse heroes to pick from, gamers will undoubtedly remain entertained.

Speaking of heroes, the entire cast of playable characters returns from the original game to Overwatch 2, with many getting some sort of rework or the other. Widowmaker is one such character who has received two minor changes, but her kit remains mostly the same.

In this guide for Overwatch 2, I’ll be taking a look at Widowmaker’s abilities, changes, and how one can go about unlocking her as a playable character. If you’re new to the game, this guide might be what you’re looking for to get an idea of how Widowmaker functions in Overwatch.

Widowmaker doesn't need to be unlocked in Overwatch 2, as she is readily available to select as a playable hero from the very beginning. New players will have access to 15 heroes early on in the game, one of which is the Elite marksman, although learning to use the character efficiently is another story.

Widowmaker is a sniper and functions a bit differently than other heroes, so you should utilize your early game time by practicing in the training simulation. Hopefully, after this guide, you’ll have a better understanding of the character.

Widowmaker is a damage class hero and she is a powerhouse when it comes to dealing out damage in a single hit. Her sniper rifle is capable of one-shotting many heroes, and her role hasn’t changed much in the new iteration.

One change has been made to her health pool, which has increased from 175 to 200 hit
