Junkertown Official Description

Junkertown is an Escort map located in the harsh and unforgiving Australian Outback. Constructed from the remains of a destroyed omnium, it's now the home to a band of lawless scavengers known as the Junkers, led by their cutthroat Queen.

When they aren’t pillaging the omnium's skeleton for anything of value, the Junkers blow off steam in the Scrapyard—a massive gladiatorial arena whose combatants fight for glory, riches...and to survive.

Junkertown Tips and Strategies

Utilize the Map's Long Sightlines

Junkertown features numerous high vantage points and long sightlines, especially in the first two sections of the map. These characteristics make the sections excellent environments for sniping Heroes like Ashe, Widowmaker, and Hanzo, as they can take full advantage of the terrain to land headshots on crucial enemy targets.

Take Advantage of Narrow Streets

Junkertown also features plenty of tight corridors in its second and third sections, which teams should adapt to by changing their compositions. In these sections, we recommend switching to Heroes like Junkrat, Reaper, and Hanzo, who excel at holding down and fighting in narrow pathways and choke points.

Flank Around the Final Checkpoint

The final section of Junkertown can be a difficult choke point to push through due to the narrow payload path and the high ground advantage of the defending team. To have an easier time in this section, we recommend flanking and dispatching crucial enemy targets first using the route beneath the spinning platform and along the side rooms leading towards the high ground.

Alternatives (Situational Picks)

Tank	Damage	Support

Alternative Tanks

• D.Va and Winston: These two Tanks are excellent alternatives for aggressive attacking teams, capable of diving with their mobile Damage Heroes to take out crucial enemy targets. Each Hero also offers its own unique defensive utility, with D.Va's Defense Matrix capable of absorbing projectiles and ultimates and Winston's Barrier Projector excelling at controlling space.
• Roadhog: Roadhog is a strong aggressive Tank that can work in both attacking and defending teams. His Chain Hook and Scrap Gun can quickly dispatch key enemy targets, giving his team a numbers advantage on most engagements. Whole Hog is also effective at breaking enemy positioning and cornering dangerous foes along the map's cramped roads and paths.
• Wrecking Ball: Wrecking Ball is another potent alternative Tank for attacking and defending teams, having high mobility and specializing in disrupting enemy positioning with Roll, Grappling Hook, and Piledriver. Minefield is also an excellent area denial tool when used near the payload and along Junkertown's narrow streets.

Alternative Damage

• Hanzo: Hanzo is another strong marksman option for defending teams. Reaching vantage points with Wall Climb, he can pick off crucial targets with lethal Storm Bow headshots while providing vital enemy information with Sonic Arrow. Dragonstrike is also a devastating ultimate when used along Junkertown's cramped roads and narrow pathways.
• Pharah and Junkrat: These Damage Heroes are great alternative picks for attacking and defending teams, offering plenty of area of effect damage for securing or breaking through the map's choke points. Pharah offers more offensive utility, capable of taking to the skies and attacking from different angles. Junkrat offers more defensive utility, controlling the area with his traps and lobbing grenades from high ground.
• Sombra: Sombra is another potent flanker for both attacking and defending teams, capable of navigating flanking routes unseen with Stealth and disabling and dispatching key enemy targets with Hack. EMP is also a potent ultimate when used in team fights around the payload and along Junkertown's narrow streets.

Alternative Supports

• Baptiste: Baptiste offers defending teams potent area-based healing with Biotic Launcher and Regenerative Burst while fortifying their positioning with Immortality Field and Amplification Matrix. He can also access Junkertown's high ground and vantage points with Exo Boost, providing him with better angles for healing allies and shooting foes.
• Moira: Moira offers potent burst healing and respectable damage output using Biotic Grasp and Biotic Orb, with the latter capable of bouncing around Junkertown's narrow paths and choke points. Her Fade gives her excellent mobility and survivability, letting her safely retreat and quickly reach teammates in need. Coalescence rounds out her utility, being an excellent healing and damaging tool when fighting near the payload and the map's straight roads.
• Zenyatta: Zenyatta is another strong pick for defending teams, having strong healing tools in Transcendence and Orb of Harmony, and amplifying his team's damage with Orb of Discord. His Orbs of Destruction also excel at sniping down enemies from the map's high ground, dealing massive damage on critical hits.
