Blizzard Entertainment has revealed the latest Overwatch <\/strong>hero\u2019s kit, with Sierra getting quite a few interesting abilities. The kit has some exciting lock-on stuff, which makes people think she might be a bit of a skill inflator, maybe OP busted, or just downright silly.<\/p>\n The latest hero is a recon-type character for damage players, so you can already see where this is going. Though she\u2019s got a bit of a rep for being goofy already, thanks to her reveal trailer<\/a>. Maybe her kit will reinforce that in a second.<\/p>\n If it wasn\u2019t obvious already, Sierra IS that girl \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n Check out Sierra\u2019s brand new ability kit and try her out when Season 2 starts on Apr 14 \ud83e\uddd7 pic.twitter.com\/LkmUifFt8X<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2014 Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Before we go into why she looks like a low elo stomper, you need to first take a look at Sierra\u2019s kit.<\/p>\n Weapon:<\/strong><\/p>\n Abilities:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ultimate:<\/strong><\/p>\n As you can see, Sierra is a bit of a spray and pray character with her assault rifle, which will likely cause issues with the first few rounds. But when it comes to shredding tanks, that accuracy will help rather nicely.<\/p>\n The trick, though, is her tracking. <\/p>\n Applying a tracking shot to something with a lot of movement, or just if you aim patiently with the tracker and land it on a key target, you will likely drill someone with that automatic weapon. It\u2019s rather handy for catching Jetpack Cat, Hammond, the Mercy flying around, or one of the flanking heroes that love to get around the map.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no mountain she can\u2019t climb and no target she can\u2019t reach \ud83e\uddd7<\/p>\n Shake things up with Sierra when she officially arrives in Season 2: Summit April 14 \ud83d\udca5 pic.twitter.com\/2oJWOpPJk0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2014 Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The other benefit is that Sierra is quite hard to track down. Many of the maps have elevated areas, so Sierra can use those drones to grapple to areas and get elevated. You should be able to find ways to land an easier-to-fire Tracking Shot from those positions and get creative. <\/p>\n Furthermore, the drone can serve as a nice way to escape diving tanks and flanker damage heroes too. So honestly, Sierra might be generally pretty good for outplaying in ranked lobbies.<\/p>\n Throw on top the recon perk of revealing enemies when you drop them to 50%, and it gets rather helpful value for teams. Considering your tracking rounds, chances are enemies are seeing where that disengage is off to, or that key DPS you chunked down is running to find health packs or a healer hiding to the side.<\/p>\n In higher elos or pro play, I expect Sierra to get wrecked. If you\u2019re pushing a cart in a more open area, chances are Sierra is getting caught. Or when you\u2019re playing CP and Sierra has no choice but to get on point. Those will be her big weaknesses. But those longer maps with elevations, lines of sight, or more chaotic movement characters may have a rough time against her with strong skill expression.<\/p>\n As for low elos, it reminds me of early Overwatch days. I remember when Torbj\u00f6rn was meta on consoles and in lower elo PC lobbies where aiming was harder to do. It\u2019s still kind of the same now if you check Overwatch\u2019s official quick play win rates<\/a>. Torbj\u00f6rn is still a beast. But as you switch to ranked, he falls off a cliff.<\/p>\n Again, in ranked queues, the hero meta is fairly diverse at the minute and might be lobby- dependent. Some of the highest win rate picks are not exactly mobile where tracking matters more. Illari and Zenyatta are two high win-rate healers at the moment. Hazard can be quite a mobile tank, so that might be a decent counter, especially when you use your drone to jump his ultimate. D.Va will counter your tracking. Then, from win rates, it\u2019s somewhere you may counter like Tracer or Genji, but for others, there\u2019s no general benefit to it. <\/p>\n So overall, she\u2019s not really that much of a power pick in the meta. More of a situational recon counter.<\/p>\n Chances are lower elo or console players with some good aim can really abuse this and climb rather well with Sierra\u2019s kit. But expect to hit a wall when you\u2019re getting CC\u2019d and dived on the more obvious spots recon players want to get to on various maps. Abuse early and often. But you\u2019d better learn to aim too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSierra\u2019s kit in Overwatch<\/h2>\n
