Sombra Abilities Overview in Overwatch

I don’t think anyone is surprised to see Sombra finally confirmed as the next Overwatch hero. While you may know that she’s a stealthy and talented hacker, her specific abilities have been a mystery – until now. She makes enemies easier to take out with her Hack and Emp abilities. She also uses a translocation beacon and camouflage to escape enemy attacks.

Abilities

  • Machine Pistol – Sombra has a fully-automatic machine pistol that fires in a short-range spread.
  • Hack – Get ready for some interference. Sombra can hack enemies to temporarily stop them from using their abilities. She can also hack first aid kits to make them useless for opponents.
  • Thermoptic Camo – This is where her stealth comes into play. Sombra can become invisible for a short period of time, during which she’ll get a considerable speed boost. However, if she attacks, uses offensive abilities, or takes damage, her camo will be disabled.
  • Translocator – Sombra has the ability to toss a translocator beacon. As long as the beacon is active, she can instantly return to its location, even when it’s in mid-flight.
  • Emp – Sombra will discharge an electromagnetic energy in a wide radius. Any barriers or shields caught in the blast will be destroyed, and any enemies in the radius are hacked.
