Overwatch 2 Roadhog Hero Guide – Details

Overwatch 2 Roadhog Cover

Roadhog is a ruthless killer and a well-earned reputation for cruelty and wanton destruction.

Known especially for his Chain Hook, Roadhog can displace enemies and disrupt enemy formation, provided that the hook lands. His Scrap Gun (shotgun) also grants him a decent damage output from mid to close range. Lastly, Roadhog’s Take A Breather skill allows him to regenerate health and last longer in the battlefield even without a Support.

Origin Story

Roadhog is a ruthless masked killer with a reputation for destruction. Roaming the irradiated, wreckage-littered Australian outback, his only known associate (and many wonder why) is the manic young Junker criminal known as Junkrat.

Tips On How To Use Roadhog In Overwatch 2

Relies Heavily On The Chain Hook

Chain Hook Reward

Roadhog relies heavily on positioning and landing his Chain Hook. As the Hook pulls enemies directly in front of you, you can use it to punish enemy Carries and/or Supports. Also having reliable allies beside you greatly helps in shortening the kill time between successful pulls. Given that the Chain Hook takes time to travel, Roadhog can easily be countered by fast moving foes such as Genji.

A Curse Or A Blessing?

Roadhog Chain Hook

Another thing to take note of when using the Chain Hook are enemies that rely on closing gaps. Hooking enemies that specialize in close-range can be detrimental to your team. Carefully pick out your targets and constantly check the enemy roster to single out heroes without escapes or melee skills.

Camp The Objectives

Roadhog finds great use during the latter parts of a match especially when it comes to holding and clearing objectives. He can either pull enemies out of the zone to punish them or use his Whole Hog ultimate to drive enemies away from the zone. Remember to also use Take A Breather as it not only heals Roadhog but also grants him a bit of resistance against enemy attacks in the next couple of seconds.
