Overwatch's 28th hero, Wrecking Ball, is now available to play across all platforms.

Revealed earlier this month, Wrecking Ball is a genetically modified hamster also known as Hammond, or Specimen 8 while undergoing testing on the Horizon Lunar Colony. After escaping the colony, Hammond crash-landed near Junkertown where he transformed his escape pod into a formidable mech that can literally wreck opponents. You can check out the character's origin story here.

Although Wrecking Ball is considered a tank character, his speed and mobility make him an effective bruiser. His ability to bully his way to the enemy backline is fantastic for more-aggressive players.



  • Quad Cannons: Wrecking Ball fires machine guns
  • Adaptive Shield: Grants Wrecking Ball a number of temporary shields based on the number of enemies nearby
  • Roll: Wrecking Ball transforms into a sphere with increased speed
  • Grappling Claw: While in Roll mode, Wrecking Ball can launch a short grappling hook to attach to surfaces, swing around, clear gaps, and move upwards. Using this ability allows Wrecking Ball to gain momentum, dealing damage and knocking back enemies upon impact
  • Piledriver: Wrecking Ball slams down from the air, pulling enemies towards the center of impact and dealing damage
  • Minefield (Ultimate): Wrecking Ball litters the ground around him with damage-dealing proximity mines
With Wrecking Ball now live in Overwatch, we probably have at least a few more months until Blizzard begins teasing the 29th hero. If you've played as Wrecking Ball, let us know your thoughts on the new hero in the comments below!
