Submachine Gun – Left Click/R2/RT

When in Recon mode Bastion comes equipped with a submachine gun. It has decent damage at short range but has a very small magazine.

Gatling Gun – Left Click/R2/RT

When in Sentry mode Bastion’s primary fire becomes a Gatling Gun. It’s high rate of fire gives Bastion a very high DPS as short-to-medium range.

Reconfigure – Left-Shift/L1/LB

This ability allows Bastion to swap between his Recon and Sentry configurations at will. Bastion’s Recon form is mobile, although slow, and its Sentry form is static. Reconfigure can help Bastion find new points to defend from.

Self-Repair – E/R1/RB

Holding down the button will initiate Bastion’s repair module, recovering its lost health as long as the button is held down. Beware, whilst using this ability Bastion cannot move or shoot.

Configuration: Tank – Q/Triangle/Y

Once charged, Bastion’s Ultimate converts it into a tank form. With greater mobility, shielding and a powerful cannon, Bastion’s tank form is its most dangerous by far. However, it only lasts for a short time so it must be used wisely.
