Overwatch 2 is live and rolling, bringing the hero-shooter to new players with a free-to-play model. This means new hero balancing, new modes, and new maps. For both returning and new players, Cassidy, the cowboy damage hero, is a great pick for someone who wants to utilize their talents at first-person-shooters. Here's everything you need to know about Cassidy in Overwatch 2.
Cassidy is a simple damage hero to use, letting high-skill players show off their aim and letting low-skill players get used to the game without being overwhelmed with abilities and cooldowns. The main damage dealer for Cassidy is his Peacekeeper Revolver, a six shooter that deals high damage with medium range. The Peacekeeper can hit at long distances, although it will begin to get hit with damage dropoff. The Peacekeeper has an alt-fire that unloads all of its bullets wildly, quickly dealing a high amount of damage at short range. Cassidy has a Magnetic Grenade that can be thrown a short distance that will attach and stick to enemies if thrown close enough to them. His Deadeye ultimate ability puts him into a standoff, facing down the enemy team. The longer you hold the Deadeye, the more damage it does, potentially one-shotting people.
