How to Play and Tips

Prioritize Using Secondary Fire

Because of its increased damage, accuracy, and reliability at midrange and long-range engagements, prioritize using The Viper's secondary fire when playing as Ashe.

However, The Viper's primary fire is still helpful for close-range skirmishes and finishing off low-health enemies due to its increased fire rate and lack of movespeed reduction.

Keep Your Weapon Reloaded

Unlike other weapons in Overwatch 2, The Viper loads one bullet at a time instead of reloading its entire clip at once. Because of this unique trait, remember to reload often as Ashe to prevent yourself from lacking ammo in crucial situations.

Dynamite Lands on Your Crosshair

Ashe's Dynamite always lands on top of your crosshair around a half-second after activating the ability. Take advantage of this feature to quickly aim and detonate Dynamite in close-range firefights.

Use Coach Gun to Reach Vantage Points

Due to its high knockback, Ashe can boost her jump height with Coach Gun by shooting it beneath her feet before jumping. Use Coach Gun to access vantage points, shortcuts, and flanking routes Ashe normally can't reach.

Shove Enemies Off the Map with Coach Gun

While Coach Gun excels at pushing enemies backward and allowing Ashe to disengage, she can also use it to shove enemies toward pitfalls and environmental hazards for instant eliminations.

Position B.O.B Carefully

Remember that B.O.B stops his charge immediately after colliding with the first wall or Hero he hits. Be mindful of B.O.B's trajectory and always aim him towards areas where he can launch multiple enemies at once.

Use B.O.B as an Extra Ally

When called into the fight, B.O.B essentially acts as another allied Hero on your team. Because the game treats him like another Hero, it means that your allies can heal and empower B.O.B like a fellow teammate and that he can contest control points and other objectives.

Maximize B.O.B's potential by letting your teammates support him with healing and damage boosts and by using him to compete for control over crucial objectives.

Ashe Story

Childhood

As a child, Ashe was born into a privileged but lonely life, learning the cutthroat nature of business from her parents while receiving companionship from B.O.B, their omnic butler. As her parents were always away as business consultants for powerful CEOs around the world, Ashe didn't have any one to guide her or be her role model, thus often found herself getting into trouble.

Deadlock Gang

Outlaw legend and leader of the Deadlock Gang, Ashe has made a name for herself in the criminal underworld since her days running around with Cassidy. Over time, she's brought about a string of destruction and extravagant heists in her wake, even extending her influence over other criminal groups.

Uniting the American Southwest Gangs

Ashe's Deadlock Gang's great success made them the target of other rival gangs. There were many violent encounters over the years, which impeded on the success of all of the related gangs' collective success. Ashe, realizing this, drew on her knowledge from her parents' business experience and summoned all of the gang leaders for a meeting.
In the meeting, Ashe outlined how it would be better for all parties to form a truce and also drew up a charter with four core values. These are: ''keep your word, don’t work with the law, respect each other’s territory, and always punish betrayal''
