the hero of cassidy of Overwatch 2 has a turbulent past in and out of the game. His original name was McCree, but the complaints against Blizzard caused the company to stop putting names with references to employees in their games. McCree was renamed Cassidy and her background was slightly altered to clean up the character’s image.
Cassidy in Overwatch 2
- Name: Cole Cassidy (formerly McCree).
- origins: One of the founders of the infamous Deadlock gang, but was forced to join Blackwatch, Overwatch’s black ops division. He believed that he could make amends for his past by fighting against the injustices of the world; but, when Overwatch disappeared, he hit rock bottom. Over time, he resurfaced as a mercenary to fight only for the causes he considered just.
- Birthplace: Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
- Class: DPS (semi-shooter)
The first thing a Rogue loses is his name, and he gave it up long ago. Running from his past meant running from himself, and each passing year only widened the gap between who he had been and what he had become. But in every cowboy’s life, there comes a time when he has to stop and make a stand.
Cassidy Abilities: Accuracy and Deathmatches
Cassidy is a hero inspired by classic Western characters: a lonely tough guy who seeks justice with each shot of his revolver. He has a close relationship with Ashe and his dialogues during matches are very funny.
This is a DPS character that I personally put in the (semi) shooter subcategory. The ideal is to play in the rear of the second line of combat. His strong point is medium distances, although he is also very effective at long distances.
It also performs well over short distances, but its low DPS life and its lack of self-healing/protection capacity makes it cannon fodder… that’s why its abilities are focused on facilitating its mobility.
- Pacifier: Accurate and powerful revolver with two firing modes. Left click to shoot shot by shot and right click for a burst.
- Evasion: You perform a flip, dash or jog in the direction you choose and automatically reload the revolver, if there is a missing bullet in the magazine.
- Magnetic Grenade– A short-range grenade that deals more damage to enemies when attached to one of them. Deals area damage.
- Without Forgiveness (Ultimate Ability): Challenge all enemies in your vision to a duel. Activate the ability to mark enemies, then activate it again to fire a killing shot at each marked character.
Tips and tricks for playing with Cassidy
Cassidy is very easy to handle, but at the same time it is VERY HARD to be good or efficient in combat. He is one of the few characters that relies entirely on the player’s technical skills.
- Precision and only precision– If you want to be good to Cassidy, you have to have gold precision. What is commonly known as “have good aim“. Modify the crosshair type in the Game Settings to choose a more accurate one than the standard one.
- tactical knowledge: Cassity does not have spectacular or especially lethal abilities. It’s all based on her revolver and the player’s ability to position themselves correctly. You have to know when to move forward, back and flank.
- Without forgiveness or mercy: Cassidy’s ultimate has the potential to make or lose games in seconds. Knowing how to flank and launch it at the right time can translate into an immediate victory or destroy the morale of the opposing team.
When I have to explain how to play Cassidy, I always choose the same example: you have in your hands a wrecking ball. It doesn’t matter that you’re not hitting the enemy all the time, but you have to tear them apart when you do.
Practice your aim in the training field or with any third-party program. if you come to play CSGO either Rainbow Six Siegeyou’re going to have a great time.
