Heroes Of The Storm Spotlights Junkrat, Announces Hallow’s End Event

heroes of the storm junkrat debutHeroes of the Storm has no shortage of Overwatch heroes, starting with Tracer to the most recent Nexus addition, Ana Amari. According to Blizzard Entertainment, Aussie demolitionist Junkrat will be the next Overwatch hero to make his way to the Nexus.

“The destruction of the Australian omnium left the area an irradiated waste and survivors like Jamison Fawkes were greatly affected by radiation. Now as the explosive-obsessed criminal Junkrat, he is renowned for leaving havoc and bedlam in his wake.”

Junkrat is a ranged assassin who uses explosives to deal massive damage to enemies. Like in Overwatch, Junkrat drops grenades when killed which deals damage to enemies in the area. He can also lob bouncing grenades, and leave explosive traps that can be detonated at any time. His heroic abilities allow him to deploy a highly-maneuverable mobile bomb or take a ride on his custom-built rocket, kamikaze dive-bomb his targets, leave grenades, and reappear unscathed in the altar a few moments later.

The Hallow’s End event will also be coming to Overwatch on October 17th. The event will give players the opportunity to earn Halloween-themed sprays, banners, and portraits, along with seasonal Loot chests. Players will also get the chance to acquire spooky skins, mounts, and bundles during the event. Hallow’s End will officially end on November 14.
