One of the classic damage heroes that players can use in Overwatch 2 is Cassidy, who was previously known in the first game as McCree.
This gunslinging hero received various changes throughout the years that have significantly changed how he is played in the game. The first is that he had a complete ability revamp and the second is various buffs and nerfs to parts of his kit.
Despite all of the changes to Cassidy's abilities, people who played him in Overwatch can still pick him up in Overwatch 2. They will still feel a familiar hero that focuses on taking down enemies.
Cassidy's Abilities
The primary attack of this damage hero is called Peacekeeper and is a fast-firing revolver. This gun is very good at dealing with enemies from various ranges.
However, it requires you to have a very good aim. This is because it is a hit-scan weapon and does not provide any area-of-effect or damage splash capabilities, according to Game Rant.
Peacekeeper's alternate fire is burst fire that shoots out all of the bullets of your gun with a lot of spread. This makes it very useful against enemies that are close since it acts like a mini-shotgun.
This hero's first active ability is Combat Roll, which gives Cassidy a small movement boost when used. Activating it will also reload Peacekeeper back up to full to let you deal with any enemy hero nearby.
Magnetic Grenade is Cassidy's second active ability and is where he throws a grenade that will explode after a short delay. This will deal damage and will deal extra if it sticks to an enemy hero, The Gamer said.
Cassidy's Ultimate is Deadeye and when it is activated, your hero will start locking on the enemies that are within his line of sight.
When a skull appears on them, you can press the button again to instantly kill them. You can press it beforehand to only deal damage to them if you can't keep your sights on them.
Best Way To Use Cassidy
This damage hero's playstyle revolves around getting quick kills on squishy targets to remove the enemy team's damage or support heroes. This only changes whenever you use your ultimate as you should be focusing on high-HP heroes such as tanks.
With how the hero's Peacekeeper weapon works, Cassidy should always be aiming for the enemy heroes' heads to deal the most damage. The majority of damage and support heroes will fall to two bullets to the dome, according to Screen Rant.
