While playing as Reaper, one Overwatch 2 gamer devised a clever strategy that caught an enemy team by surprise. Reaper is a hero known for causing chaos in an enemy team’s backline, and this clip shared by the player showed that there are multiple ways of doing this in Overwatch 2.

The phrase “Die! Die! Die!” has become instantly recognizable to many Overwatch 2 fans over the years. This is because when these words are heard, it often means players are about to be eliminated by Reaper’s Death Blossom, his Ultimate ability which damages all nearby enemies. While this ability can be countered by a well-coordinated team, it still needs to be respected by players. Recently, one Reaper player used this to their advantage during a game.
