Overwatch 2 has finally arrived, bringing a ton of change to the hero shooter. That means a switch to 5v5, a new battle pass, and new heroes to kick off the launch. One of those new heroes is Sojourn, a new DPS hero with a high-powered machine gun that is also a railgun. While Sojourn has been a known quantity to the Overwatch community for quite some time, she is now actually in the game and can be used. Here's everything you need to know about Sojourn.

Sojourn is an offense focused DPS character, who primarily deals damage using her gun and its two modes of firing. For anyone who has spent time playing Soldier 76, you'll know that Sojourn deals the majority of her damage by shooting. While she does have one damage-dealing ability in her Disruptor Shot, the main method of getting kills is using the machine gun fire to deal damage and charge the secondary fire, which shoots a railgun beam. The railgun beam, especially at a high charge, can deal a significant amount of damage. It can also one-shot most DPS and healers (anyone with 200 health) at full charge if you hit a headshot and does about 75% of that if you hit them in the body.
