Tips On How To Use Sigma In Overwatch 2
Sigma Balls Have Limited Range
There’s no incentive to try and blast enemies from afar using Sigma’s Hyperspheres. His primary attacks has a limited range and can only deal damage up to mid-range. They also bounce around if you throw them at walls and at the ground. However, these balls can be damaging when used in an enclosed space so throw them if you find yourself attacking or defending a room or corridor!
Shield Your Paths
If you and your team find it hard to go through a bottleneck, use Sigma’s shield to protect you as you traverse. This shield can be moved farther the longer you hold the button so use it well to add distance and keep you and your team covered.
Throw ‘Em Rocks
Earthshatter allows Sigma to throw a huge chunk of rock to knock down enemies and immobilize them. Try not to use this on very mobile enemies and use it to disable tanks and supports.
