Well, that didn't take long. Just a day after Blizzard unveiled Baptiste, Overwatch's 30th hero, the elite combat medic is now available to play on the public test realm on PC.

Armed with an "arsenal of experimental healing devices," Baptiste "helps keep allies alive and eliminate threats under fierce conditions." 

With Baptiste's availability, we finally get a look at his abilities which seem to be a nice mix of offensive and support. Check out the video below to see his abilities in action.

Biotic Launcher
Baptiste’s three-round-burst Biotic Launcher rewards accuracy and recoil control with significant damage output. It also doubles as a healing device, lobbing projectiles that heal allies near the point of impact.

Regenerative Burst
Baptiste activates an intense regenerative burst that heals himself and nearby allies over time.

Immortality Field
Baptiste uses a device to create a field that prevents allies from dying. The generator can be destroyed.

Amplification Matrix (Ultimate)
Baptiste creates a matrix that doubles the damage and healing effects of friendly projectiles that pass through it.

Exo Boots (Passive)
By first crouching, Baptiste can jump higher.


Baptiste is now playable on the PTR on PC. It's unclear exactly how long he stays there before going live on all platforms. You can also watch his origin story here.

Overwatch is now available for PC, Xbox One, and PC.
