Overwatch Hero Guide Torbjorn

Torbjorn is easy to use, but difficult to master. It's easy to set up a turret somewhere and anyone who gets into line of sight of it will be getting shot by it, the hard part is going to be learning the maps and knowing where best to place your turrets to fully utilize their perfect aim. A well placed turret, actively defended and repaired, can easily hold down and objective and give the enemy team a very hard time trying to approach. Torbjorn can do more than just that though!

Rivet Gun
This is Torbjorn's main gun and can fire either an arching rivet shot or more of a shotgun style blast at short range with the alternate fire. It doesn't do too much damage with the main fire, but the added bonus can help a turret bring someone down quicker.

Forge Hammer
You can switch your weapon to this hammer, and on it's own it doesn't really do much offensive wise, but it is possible to smack people with it in melee range. It's main use is to attack your turrets with it and it can upgrade a level 1 turret to level 2, making it do more damage as well as be able to take more punishment. As well as upgrading your turrets it will repair them if they are damaged.

Build Turret
This is the ability that allows you to place a turret down, when you first activate it there will be a silhouette of the turret that you can either build, or cancel. Move around and it will move with you so you can best decide where to place it.

Armor Pack
Torbjorn can throw out armor packs that he and his team can pick up using this ability. Anyone who picks up an armor pack will get +75 to armor added to their health bar. This ability uses the scrap that Torbjorn can pick up from fallen enemies that will show after they are killed, and currently is the only use of the scrap you pick up during the match.

Ultimate - Molten Core
Torbjorn's ultimate provides you and your level 2 turret (if you have one, and you really should if you're using this) with a few buffs. Torbjorn himself will gain increased health, a bonus of extra armor, increased attack speed with both his hammer and rivet gun, and his turret will be upgraded to level 2. If you use this while the enemy is in the sights of your turret it can be incredibly deadly to pick apart their team, as a level 3 turret is hard to destroy.
