The second season of Overwatch 2 is now live on all platforms. With the start of the new season is an update that introduces the game’s first “Tempo Tank,” Ramattra.
Meet the New Hero

Blizzard uses the term “Tempo Tank” to describe Ramattra because he has two forms that players can switch to at any given time, making him a pretty versatile hero in Overwatch 2.
The first is called the Omnic Form. Using this gives Ramattra the ability to create a barrier at a targeted location with his Void Accelerator’s secondary fire. This is a perfect tool whenever his teammates need protection.
His second form is called Nemesis Form and activating this ups Ramattra’s offensive capabilities. Instead of using a ranged weapon, he now engages enemies in melee combat with Pummel. Pummel’s secondary is worth mentioning because Ramattra gets significantly less damage from the front at a cost of reduced movement speed.
Players can unlock Ramattra for free at Level 45 of the Season 2 Battle Pass. Those who want to get their hands on the game’s newest tank without the arduous grind can purchase the Premium Battle Pass for 1,000 Overwatch Coins or $10.
