Soldier 76 - Overwatch offence character.

Soldier 76 is a generic but fast and nimble offense character that is best played in larger maps. Using the combination of a Heavy Pulse Rifle, Rockets, healing and a Tactical Visor, newer players will feel right at home when playing him. This is mainly because he is the character you learn to use during the tutorial.

Playing as Soldier 76 in combat usually means running around the outskirts of battle and taking down stray characters who have just respawned or who are sniping. This gives newer players a chance to get used to the controls, while not feeling overwhelmed by Tanks and defense characters on the frontlines.
