Overwatch 2 Junker Queen Cinematic Trailer - “The Wastelander”

[@ShmeengusDingus]

I love how we assumed she’d be a heartless badass yet we see her as a merciful one that would rather make her opponents her allies. I can see why she had problems with Junkrat and Roadie. They stole from her and really just look out for themselves. She’s definitely a team player

[@jen-EL]

Until she ults

[@whatrnames]

In the case of Geiger and Meri it isn't mercy as much as a suprisingly accurate depiction of how a coup works. You turn the lieutenants against the old leader to cement your power.

[@Hk-ox4bb]

Too bad that this isn’t her in-game personality

[@a-manwhorememains334]

​@Hk-ox4bb she puts up a front as queen I think. Doesn't wanna look weak in front of everybody.

[@Omega______]

Yeah, the shout ability def reinforces that because it gives teammates overhealth

[@MrREFanatic95]

Love seeing Junkrat cheering her on and Roadhog just chilling in the audience

[@QueenStarNova]

And now she hates them both and banned them from the city.

[@AmandaTroutman]

As far as I can tell, her dad was either the last Junker King or in the fight with Mason to become Junker king. Her dad lost, Mason was a total tool and kicked them out and now she's back for revenge as the only survivor of her family. Really interested for more details about the wasteland and the "feral omnics*!

[@Malidictus]

That's likely a reference to the Australian Liberation Front - which Roadhog also appears to have been in, given his ALF skin.

[@brendandonohue2398]

Wait when were feral omnics mentioned?

One of the most important aspects of a leader is to be able to truly inspire loyalty, and stuff like showing the she was willing to take a hit for someone she considers useful where as the king was more than willing to shoot through an ally for a chance to hit her.

I have a few things to point out and a few questions to ask 1. What is in junker queens shotgun 2. I saw that junkrat was eating popcorn that had some kind of metal in it 3. How does she use her magnet on command 4. Her knife has a bike brake as a guard

[@hexaltheninjawow9531]

1. Probably custom shells or scrap like Roadhog 2. I hope there's no Engine Oil 3. Probably electromagnetism, basically the magnets need electric current to work, very fascinating stuff! 4. You gotta get creative in the Outback
