With a pair of chainguns, the tank has a hefty health pool, and his ability kit makes it seem like he\u2019ll be comparable to the game\u2019s other berserking tank hero, Junker Queen. Having no shield to his name, Mauga requires a little bit more aim and tact than what you might expect from the tank role. Here is everything you need to know about Mauga's kit and abilities. What are Mauga's abilities in Overwatch 2? Incendiary and Volatile Chainguns In his trailer, Mauga says his guns are named \u201cGunny\u201d and \u201cCha-Cha.\u201d His left-click, Gunny, is a machine gun that ignites enemies, and his right-click, Cha-Cha, deals critical damage to heroes that have a burning debuff on them. You can fire each of these weapons individually or fire both at the same time. But if you fire both at the same time, Mauga\u2019s weapon spread widens a bit and he is slowed as well. I suggest only using both weapons at the same time if you\u2019re right up on an enemy and can afford to move a little bit slower. Though firing both guns at the same time has its downsides, it will absolutely decimate any enemy who's 10 yards or closer. In the training room, I was taking bots out in less than a second at close range. Overrun The tooltip for Mauga\u2019s Overrun ability says it\u2019s unstoppable, and developers today confirmed that it is indeed as unstoppable as it looked in the hero\u2019s reveal trailer. During a group interview following the opening ceremony, devs told Dot Esports that Mauga\u2019s Overrun cannot be stopped by crowd control abilities. Additionally, the ability ends with a war stomp that knocks up enemies in the surrounding area and stuns them as well. The ability is on a six-second cooldown, and it can be canceled at any time. Players can also choose to prematurely stomp with a left-click during his dash. If you don\u2019t click anything and ride the ability out, Mauga will finish the charge off with a stomp when it comes to a natural conclusion after a couple of seconds. Cardiac Overdrive This 10-second cooldown is effectively how Mauga is supposed to make up for not having a shield. While active, you\u2019ll see a large ring around you and allies within range of you will glow. This signifies that these allies are taking reduced damage. They will gain lifesteal during that time as well, effectively gaining life when they deal damage. This also applies to Mauga himself. You\u2019ll be able to tell if you\u2019re actually helping your teammates out by checking out the center of your screen while Cardiac Overdrive is active, too. A bar near your crosshair will show you how much longer until the ability ends and also share the number of teammates within range of your Cardiac Overdrive. Passive: Berserker Mauga has a massive 600 health points to match his equally massive body. But without a shield, the passive Berserker ability helps prevent him from getting shredded. Whenever he deals critical damage, which should be frequently thanks to Cha-Cha, he\u2019ll gain some temporary health. As of right now, that temporary health caps out at 50, giving him a total of 650 potential health without assistance from other hero abilities. Ultimate: Cage Fight This might not end up being the most powerful ultimate ability, but it\u2019s certainly flavorful and has all the crowd control you want from a tank ability. Cage Fight creates a barrier that enemies can\u2019t escape while the ultimate ability is active. You\u2019ll be able to tell their stuck in the cage because they will literally be chained within the barrier. While inside the barrier, Mauga gains unlimited ammo, but if you\u2019d rather not be stuck in the Cage Fight, devs told us during a BlizzCon group interview that Lifeweaver\u2019s Life Grip can indeed get Mauga out of the barrier, leaving your enemies running around like rats in a cage. Mauga is set to officially join Overwatch 2 on Dec. 5 with the start of season eight.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mauga_5-e1705090574212.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018904"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1018904"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1019580,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018904\/revisions\/1019580"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1018934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1018904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1018904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

With a pair of chainguns, the tank has a hefty health pool, and his ability kit makes it seem like he\u2019ll be comparable to the game\u2019s other berserking tank hero, Junker Queen. Having no shield to his name, Mauga requires a little bit more aim and tact than what you might expect from the tank role. Here is everything you need to know about Mauga's kit and abilities. What are Mauga's abilities in Overwatch 2? Incendiary and Volatile Chainguns In his trailer, Mauga says his guns are named \u201cGunny\u201d and \u201cCha-Cha.\u201d His left-click, Gunny, is a machine gun that ignites enemies, and his right-click, Cha-Cha, deals critical damage to heroes that have a burning debuff on them. You can fire each of these weapons individually or fire both at the same time. But if you fire both at the same time, Mauga\u2019s weapon spread widens a bit and he is slowed as well. I suggest only using both weapons at the same time if you\u2019re right up on an enemy and can afford to move a little bit slower. Though firing both guns at the same time has its downsides, it will absolutely decimate any enemy who's 10 yards or closer. In the training room, I was taking bots out in less than a second at close range. Overrun The tooltip for Mauga\u2019s Overrun ability says it\u2019s unstoppable, and developers today confirmed that it is indeed as unstoppable as it looked in the hero\u2019s reveal trailer. During a group interview following the opening ceremony, devs told Dot Esports that Mauga\u2019s Overrun cannot be stopped by crowd control abilities. Additionally, the ability ends with a war stomp that knocks up enemies in the surrounding area and stuns them as well. The ability is on a six-second cooldown, and it can be canceled at any time. Players can also choose to prematurely stomp with a left-click during his dash. If you don\u2019t click anything and ride the ability out, Mauga will finish the charge off with a stomp when it comes to a natural conclusion after a couple of seconds. Cardiac Overdrive This 10-second cooldown is effectively how Mauga is supposed to make up for not having a shield. While active, you\u2019ll see a large ring around you and allies within range of you will glow. This signifies that these allies are taking reduced damage. They will gain lifesteal during that time as well, effectively gaining life when they deal damage. This also applies to Mauga himself. You\u2019ll be able to tell if you\u2019re actually helping your teammates out by checking out the center of your screen while Cardiac Overdrive is active, too. A bar near your crosshair will show you how much longer until the ability ends and also share the number of teammates within range of your Cardiac Overdrive. Passive: Berserker Mauga has a massive 600 health points to match his equally massive body. But without a shield, the passive Berserker ability helps prevent him from getting shredded. Whenever he deals critical damage, which should be frequently thanks to Cha-Cha, he\u2019ll gain some temporary health. As of right now, that temporary health caps out at 50, giving him a total of 650 potential health without assistance from other hero abilities. Ultimate: Cage Fight This might not end up being the most powerful ultimate ability, but it\u2019s certainly flavorful and has all the crowd control you want from a tank ability. Cage Fight creates a barrier that enemies can\u2019t escape while the ultimate ability is active. You\u2019ll be able to tell their stuck in the cage because they will literally be chained within the barrier. While inside the barrier, Mauga gains unlimited ammo, but if you\u2019d rather not be stuck in the Cage Fight, devs told us during a BlizzCon group interview that Lifeweaver\u2019s Life Grip can indeed get Mauga out of the barrier, leaving your enemies running around like rats in a cage. Mauga is set to officially join Overwatch 2 on Dec. 5 with the start of season eight.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mauga_5-e1705090574212.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018904"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1018904"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1019580,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018904\/revisions\/1019580"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1018934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1018904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1018904"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1018904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
