Roadhog

Scrap Gun

Roadhog’s primary weapon is a scattergun that has two modes of fire. Your standard attack will fire much like a shotgun while the alternate fire launches a ball of scrap a few feet before erupting. This is not a distance weapon at all, so try and avoid any sort of medium to long range engagements the best you can.

Chain Hook

The second part to your wombo-combo, make sure to always be using this when you begin a fight with someone. It has really good range and does 30 damage per hit, so a single shot from your Scrap Gun will typically end squishier characters. You also get to feel like Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion, which is always a plus.

Take a Breather

You will heal 300 hp per use of this ability, so make sure to always keep an eye on your health. With an 8 second cooldown, always make sure you’re in a building or cover before you begin. Roadhog cannot move while using it, so always be careful before healing up.

Whole Hog

Use this ultimate to disrupt and scatter the enemy team in various directions. Pushing people off of cliffs is always fun, but pinning them into corners with your death machine is incredibly satisfying. Trying using Whole Hog to force entire teams off of capture points for maximum effectiveness.
