another experiment
#lore-discussion
trim ruin
Yeah, thats how he got the name “wrecking ball” they dont know he’s a hamster (maybe)
peak escarp
he's a former experiment, former Junkertown champion
trim ruin
she was also kind of an experiment, Mccree was supposed to protect the lady who made Echo, he failed and she died and i think (this is my assumption) he lost his arm in the process
Or maybe im wrong
peak escarp
she's an adaptive robot made by Dr. Liao
McCree lost his arm after that
he lost it after Overwatch fell
analog cargo
i thought he lost it the same way junkrat did
trim ruin
Probably not
analog cargo
i heard junk and mcree were cuffed together so they cut their arms off
but thats what i heard
peak escarp
no
trim ruin
i heard junk and mcree were cuffed together so they cut their arms off
Yo that seems cool, and i feel like that would be a cool duo together, but like Australia and America are pretty far
analog cargo
¯_(ツ)_/¯
peak escarp
i heard junk and mcree were cuffed together so they cut their arms off
that was bad fanfiction
analog cargo
huh
trim ruin
Idk, but god i love Mccree
analog cargo
so is reaper how he is because of moira
trim ruin
so is reaper how he is because of moira
Yeah mostly
analog cargo
so what is reaper
hushed jetty
well if anything i doubt it would be due to something with junkrat
analog cargo
is he ded or alive
trim ruin
Yesn’t
hushed jetty
i would assume not, there's no magic or things like that in the ow universe
trim ruin
well he could use wraith when he was in Blackwatch, because of Moira
hushed jetty
no michael chu confirmed that didnt happen
trim ruin
Nah, because they havnt seen each other since deadlock
analog cargo
hmm
then how abt junk
did junk lose his left side due to an experiment of his ult
analog cargo
specifics are always nice
hushed jetty
i'd assume it got blown off but it's not confirmed
analog cargo
also any reason y australia is a junk town
trim ruin
Nuclear shit and war maybe
hushed jetty
not all of australia is junkertown, junkertown is just in australia
an omnium blew up, causing radiation to decimate the entire place
analog cargo
y did mei survive
hushed jetty
no clue
trim ruin
Cryostasis
analog cargo
the other crew?
hushed jetty
the others in her group all died to to their cryostasis machines malfunctioning at some point
trim ruin
Hers was the only one that didnt fail
hushed jetty
hers just didn't, i suppose
analog cargo
dang
trim ruin
i wish it did
analog cargo
did torb fix bastion
trim ruin
Yeah
analog cargo
orisa quotes to bastion
trim ruin
And probably gave him his hat
analog cargo
what is null sector
trim ruin
there is a comic about it
hushed jetty
Null Sector is an omnic terrorist organization that fights for omnic rights
but, like, violently
they've been around since overwatch's golden age, so at least 8 years or so
trim ruin
Sorry i didnt notice the null sector question, there is a comic for torb
trim ruin
are all omnics created by humans
Mainly Torb, i think
finite urchin
are all omnics created by humans
null sector manufactures some omnics
but in the end the first omnics were made by humans
trim ruin
Like torb?
peak escarp
Torbjorn designed the bastion units
finite urchin
torbjorn helped design them
peak escarp
Dr. Liao worked for Omnica and designed the omnic's AI
trim ruin
Well then im not entirely wrong
finite urchin
he was part of the ironclad guild, which designed bastions
finite urchin
torb left
peak escarp
is it still running? is torb still part of it?
I think so
hushed jetty
oh very cool
peak escarp
whos doomfist
Doomfist is Talon's de facto leader
finite urchin
i think that's proof
hushed jetty
what are they doing nowadays, then?
trim ruin
Didnt Torb swear to destroy what he made?
analog cargo
also does doomfist have a prosthetic arm
trim ruin
Yes
finite urchin
also does doomfist have a prosthetic arm
yes
hushed jetty
also does doomfist have a prosthetic arm
yes
finite urchin
what are they doing nowadays, then?
no idea
peak escarp
he lost it after the crisis
analog cargo
is he wearing a gauntlent
trim ruin
Yes
hushed jetty
he has both a prosthetic and a gauntlet
trim ruin
Yes
finite urchin
he lost his arm in the omnic crisis
analog cargo
in his talon skin does he have prosthetics on both and legs?
neat badger
Does it say who created the first omnic?
finite urchin
unfortunately, that meant he couldnt pursue his martial arts career
hushed jetty
the omnics were made by Omnica Corp, not just one person
finite urchin
well, anyway he got the gauntlet from his teacher, and wore it over his right arm, his prosthetic
hushed jetty
and the ironclad guild made the bastion units
trim ruin
He killed his teacher?
analog cargo
sombra with talon?
finite urchin
He killed his teacher?
yes
neat badger
and the ironclad guild made the bastion units
So was torb apart of the creation of the omnic war?
trim ruin
yes, but she may go rouge
analog cargo
wait does genji still have half of his body like the blackwatch skin in his default skin
hushed jetty
So was torb apart of the creation of the omnic war?
well, kinda. he helped design the bastion units which were a large part of the war, but he didn't help START it
trim ruin
Yeah
neat badger
o
trim ruin
well, kinda. he helped design the bastion units which were a large part of the w...
So he’s the reason those damn bastions keep killing my team while they just stand still
hushed jetty
gameplay and lore are separate but yes
trim ruin
Mercy revived him, overwatch rebuilt him
analog cargo
and if hanzos dragons killed genji how come in the cinematic genji could control the dragons
hushed jetty
he didn't die, and it wasn't due to the dragons
trim ruin
gameplay and lore are separate but yes
Yeah, i was joking
hushed jetty
hanzo sliced him with a sword
finite urchin
well, kinda. he helped design the bastion units which were a large part of the w...
he made the bastion units for peacekeeping, just like the or14s were made to do the same
analog cargo
hanzo sliced him with a sword
ouch
finite urchin
unfortunately, bad omnics stole the design
hushed jetty
yeah
finite urchin
and used it for their own purposes
trim ruin
Shimadas (and damn echo) can only control dragons
analog cargo
what are dragons
hushed jetty
no clue
trim ruin
The spirit dragons
hushed jetty
not a single idea
hushed jetty
we know it's not magic but that's about it
analog cargo
ow isnt a fantasy game either
trim ruin
what r they made of
This is gonna sound crazy- magic ha ha
analog cargo
its sci fi
trim ruin
Comes from his aura, perhaps
trim ruin
Yes. And it’ll team wipe or kill no one
hushed jetty
some speculate that the tattoo has some kind of tech in it, i like to think that maybe they're made of hard light
analog cargo
then i want a spirit doom fist arm
hushed jetty
but we don't know
finite urchin
you know what sym uses to make her creations?
it's using hard light
hard light is a technology
analog cargo
ohj
finite urchin
used by vishkar
analog cargo
but the shimadas
hushed jetty
shields are also made of hard light
analog cargo
just pull it out of their arses
analog cargo
no technology
trim ruin
Yeah
finite urchin
also
trim ruin
No
hushed jetty
it's not that rare of a technology so i doubt it's a big stretch to say the dragons are hard light
finite urchin
some ppl are known to be able to utilize hard light in ways that others cant
analog cargo
does hanzo have cybernetics
hushed jetty
no
finite urchin
no
analog cargo
is the shimadas a sym
finite urchin
no
hushed jetty
no
analog cargo
lmao
finite urchin
yeah but they can do the same shit
analog cargo
how come hanzo has two dragons
hushed jetty
no idea
analog cargo
why is it blue and green
trim ruin
Big brother powers, obviously
finite urchin
how come hanzo has two dragons
headcanon: genji could have one too, but he was injured so he wasnt able to use his full power
analog cargo
lmao
hushed jetty
we don't know the real reason though
peak escarp
wow you guys ask a lot of questions
finite urchin
or injured before his full potential could devlop
we dont
that's why i said headcanon
analog cargo
u have not seen my full potential: smol dragon unleashed
hushed jetty
yeah i know
trim ruin
headcanon: genji could have one too, but he was injured so he wasnt able to use ...
...big brother powers
finite urchin
lol yeah
trim ruin
wow you guys ask a lot of questions
Blame call me t
finite urchin
also sym's lasers are hard light energy
peak escarp
Hanzo has two dragons because it needed to fill the hitbox of the ability
finite urchin
so maybe hanzo's dragons are lasers
analog cargo
also does mercy really res
peak escarp
there isn't a lore reason
hushed jetty
her "res" is that part in zero hour when she heals mei
which is a little lame in my opinion but it's what we got
peak escarp
yeah
analog cargo
it clearly says "resurrect"- revives a fallen team mate
trim ruin
Dont even start on Baptiste’s immortality field
analog cargo
yeah also bap
hushed jetty
gameplay is not the same as lore
hushed jetty
...no
trim ruin
yes
analog cargo
r we livin off piss
finite urchin
Hanzo has two dragons because it needed to fill the hitbox of the ability
it's still kind of intriguing that hanzo has 2 and genji has 1
analog cargo
is mercy always pissin
peak escarp
it clearly says "resurrect"- revives a fallen team mate
"resurrect" is just a name
peak escarp
are we drinkin piss
it's biotic healing
trim ruin
Omg
finite urchin
majick science
trim ruin
The questions
peak escarp
nanobiotic particles
trim ruin
I love it
analog cargo
lmao
finite urchin
that we cant explain in our real world
analog cargo
scientific piss
analog cargo
also y can anna reload so fast
finite urchin
bc it's a game
trim ruin
Bolt action
peak escarp
Ana, Mercy, Moira and Baptiste all use nanobiotic healing
analog cargo
how abt zen
peak escarp
Zen uses "omnic energy"
trim ruin
Reaper’s healing is the worst to explain
peak escarp
Lucio and Brigitte's healing isn't canon
finite urchin
Reaper’s healing is the worst to explain
he doesnt actually steal life
he in canon, naturally regenerates
trim ruin
I know
peak escarp
the balls aren't canon actually
the metal balls he has hovering around him are real
it's just harmony/discord that aren't
hushed jetty
well yeah i mean the. healing ones
finite urchin
the metal balls he has hovering around him are real
why didnt mondatta have them then?
trim ruin
L A M E
peak escarp
Zen's healing seems to be more . . . metaphysical
peak escarp
why didnt mondatta have them then?
because he isn't Zenyatta? why would he have them?
finite urchin
because he isn't Zenyatta? why would he have them?
because then ur implying that it's natural for omnics to have balls?
analog cargo
y cant everyone have a ball
finite urchin
why would zenyatta have them either? huh?
peak escarp
they're meditation orbs
peak escarp
they were described in Stone By Stone
finite urchin
sure, ig they look like medicine balls
but
okay
do they float around zen in stone by stone too?
analog cargo
also whats with tracers iron man chest
finite urchin
also whats with tracers iron man chest
she has to wear that to stay alive
analog cargo
she didnt have it before right
finite urchin
that chronal accelerator
peak escarp
all around. The pilgrims broke their fast, then settled on pillows. When Satya first
followed their lead, she was anticipating the priests would ask her to meditate. It
was a practice she had attempted in the past but had found challenging. She was
surprised when they gave the pilgrims each a metallic sphere that fit in the palms of
their hands.
“These are the spheres we ourselves meditate upon,” Zenyatta told her.
“Like those in the bas-relief.”
He nodded. “I think for you…the Orb of Perception.”
“So that I might best perceive what you need.”```bc she's glitched across time
analog cargo
if its destroyed shes dead right
finite urchin
she needs that chronal accelerator to control her own time and space
nah, it can be repaired
analog cargo
but she dissapears
finite urchin
but it's probably a helluva hassle to do it
peak escarp
she can also take it off, as long as she stays near it
finite urchin
tracers thingo is ripped out
yeah but she came back
so it's repariable
*repairable
peak escarp
Winston made her a new one
finite urchin
yeah either that or the obvious, that she made a new one
finite urchin
yes
analog cargo
is soldier american
peak escarp
yes
analog cargo
anyone else american
finite urchin
ashe
peak escarp
Soldier is from Indiana
finite urchin
reaper
analog cargo
reaper is american?
peak escarp
Ashe is also from Texas
peak escarp
reaper is american?
yes
finite urchin
reaper is american but i think he's also mexican
peak escarp
he's chicano
analog cargo
yeah he has mexican skins
analog cargo
whos the youngest hero in ow
finite urchin
orisa
peak escarp
Orisa
analog cargo
exclude omnics
peak escarp
she's 1 month old
analog cargo
exclude animals
finite urchin
then you have ur answer
analog cargo
dva
finite urchin
dva 19
finite urchin
her friend dayheon
analog cargo
people keep sayi its lover, simp, or brother
finite urchin
idk how to spell it
analog cargo
or just friend
analog cargo
dayum
nimble furnace
The fanbase, on the other hand.....
finite urchin
nah he probably lost his dangler
peak escarp
the 5 youngest heroes are:
Orisa [1 month]
Wrecking Ball [14]
D.Va [19]
Zenyatta [20]
Junkrat [25]
peak escarp
he's not a playboy anymore for a different reason
analog cargo
no pp
peak escarp
it was his playboy life that led to him nearly being killed
peak escarp
why is everyone so obsessed with Genji's penis?
analog cargo
i always think of him as optimistic
finite urchin
why is everyone so obsessed with Genji's penis?
cuz penises are important to men
really important
analog cargo
to have no pp is to have nothin
finite urchin
why do you assume it was cut off then?
uh bc his lower body was mauled
analog cargo
well hanzo obviously did something to the other half of his body
finite urchin
to have no pp is to have nothin
well said
peak escarp
analog cargo
is genji naked technically
peak escarp
technically
analog cargo
"tech"
peak escarp
that's why he's wearing clothes in OW2
finite urchin
that's really cool honestly
the image
so basically
he lost his legs and one arm anakin style
peak escarp
he didn't see his cyborg body as part of himself before, but now he does
analog cargo
so blackwatch armor first before the default
analog cargo
what is his armor made of
finite urchin
what is his armor made of
metal
peak escarp
once he helped Overwatch take down the Shimada clan, they finished his body
finite urchin
he probably did
analog cargo
or thanks to new body its rgb
peak escarp
his eyes are likely augmented
finite urchin
wait a second
here, genji has a red black color scheme on blackwatch
imagine how weird his green aura looked with that
to the squad
finite urchin
yep
analog cargo
but to enemy its dope
finite urchin
lol weebs
finite urchin
yeah? what about em
peak escarp
they're just different arrows in his kit
analog cargo
how does hanzos scatter work
finite urchin
idk bro it's the future
peak escarp
like the Green Arrow, or Hawkeye
analog cargo
is it bouncy
finite urchin
yes you see it in the cinematic
analog cargo
it could also split up
finite urchin
yes
actually
lemme tell u smth interesting
hanzo's hero select still has the scatter arrow
analog cargo
ive seen the scatter montages
finite urchin
not the enemy though
peak escarp
it will likely be used as one of Hanzo's talents in OW2
analog cargo
like hog and dva
scatter was only like a way around shields
not helpin the team as much
since u had to wait after using a scatter
but idk how much damage it does
since i didnt play then
also y didnt brig get a change in overwatch 2
peak escarp
she will
they haven't revealed them all yet
all 32 heroes from the first game will be getting new looks
limpid agate
That all 32 includes Echo.
We do not know if it also includes Sojourn, but it probably won't.
peak escarp
by the time OW2 comes out Echo will have been in the game for 2 years
limpid agate
At least
analog cargo
its been 5 years that ive finally been able to discuss these with actually people familiar with the lore i thank you all
peak escarp
Sojourn's look might change before then - they're still working on the game, after all
she already looked different from the 2019 trailer
finite urchin
she already looked different from the 2019 trailer
bruh remember those pixar mom thighs
analog cargo
lmao
finite urchin
but that's just texturing and shading
you cant call that an actual character design change
limpid agate
That's not the same
Also that's just the scene and lighting
It looks the same to me
finite urchin
yeah
limpid agate
That shot in particular makes it look like they added more braids to the side
But that's just the cameraangle
limpid agate
I think that's also partially the camera to blame
finite urchin
her hair might be different but that isn't a major design change
finite urchin
but still i do agree her design might change before that
limpid agate
Discord blocked my image
finite urchin
yeah
but honestly, her thighs, jokes aside
look ridiculous as fuck
she looks even goofier than roadhog
peak escarp
cyborg thighs
finite urchin
they still look horrible u gotta admit bro
limpid agate
Bot keep autodeleting my picture, thinks its NSFW.
So heres a screenshot of the screenshot
analog cargo
lmao
arctic loom
sojourn was like... the leader of ow?
limpid agate
No
The leader of Overwatch was Jack Morrison (Soldier 76).
Second in command was Ana Amari.
The leader of the strike team that became Overwatch was Gabriel Reyes (Reaper). He was also leader of Blackwatch.
Sojourn took over Ana's job as Captain after Ana "died"
She might have been the highest ranking member after Jack and Reyes "died" too.
arctic loom
and now currently is winston right?
limpid agate
To be fair, those clips were mostly set in Toronto
peak escarp
fair
arctic loom
well if pharah really going to overwatch i believe theres a chance to ana shows up too
to see her daughter again
limpid agate
I don't think Ana will be present in the story.
peak escarp
her mother wouldn't let her join Overwatch
there's probably some animosity over that
finite urchin
how reaper is without mask
you can see it already
arctic loom
no i mean actually now
finite urchin
oh
peak escarp
based on Ana's reaction, he's disfigured but still recognizable
finite urchin
i couldnt find a good pic of it
but
this is what he looks like a while after his newfound ability
peak escarp
that's pretty much the same as the first picture you sent
finite urchin
no, he has scars
limpid agate
no, he has scars
Thats 3 years before the incident
arctic loom
scars
peak escarp
he has scars on the skin too
limpid agate
Its literally the same skin in the first picture
Reaper in the present day is:
- Disfigured, but recognizeable
- Has pale white skin
finite urchin
that's pretty much the same as the first picture you sent
A real picture doesn’t exist
peak escarp
finite urchin
Thats 3 years before the incident
If u wanna see the effects of his ability on him
His face
finite urchin
Sure but I thought he meant reaper’s face
limpid agate
That's 3 years before the incident [that disfigured him.]
That's Reyes' normal face.
peak escarp
limpid agate
Reaper's power and his disfigured face are not from the same thing.
His power is the only reason why he isn't dead.
covert echo
twilit nacelleBOT
For more information about the game, please refer to the wiki: https://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Retribution/Quotes
limpid agate
Moira : How are you feeling, commander?
Reyes : Fine. No ill effects so far.
Moira : Let me know if that changes.
Moira: That could be an unforeseen side effect...
Reyes: I was making a joke.
More implied than explicit that the experiments began before Retribution
But its there.
finite urchin
Reaper's power and his disfigured face are not from the same thing.
But that is a long time since his ability from what I think you meant
Which shows the progress the ability had on his face
limpid agate
30+ years ago, Reaper was part of the Soldier Enhancement Program (same as Soldier 76)
~8 years ago, he hired Moira to look at a "genetic" problem for him. She helped him cultivate his powers
~6 years ago, him and Jack got into a fight at the Swiss HQ. People thought they were both dead.
~6 years ago is when he got disfigured.
Its not when he got his powers
arctic loom
btw killing antonio is what ruined overwatch to be banned?
limpid agate
btw killing antonio is what ruined overwatch to be banned?
Its one of things things.
There were a lot of problems
peak escarp
it didn't help
finite urchin
Those scars are not from his ability
limpid agate
Correct.
peak escarp
and the public was already getting frustrated with Overwatch
finite urchin
I didn’t mean they were
arctic loom
but that time omnic war was still going on?
night gate
So where did he get his abilities?
arctic loom
or was after the war?
finite urchin
None at all tho
This is what I meant, nothing really changed about him
limpid agate
but that time omnic war was still going on?
The Omnic crisis was 30 years ago
limpid agate
This is what I meant, nothing really changed about him
Lots changed.
peak escarp
So where did he get his abilities?
limpid agate
For starters, his body was disfigured ~5-6 years ago
"Reaper" today does not have the same face as Reyes 8 years ago
Because between 8 years ago, and today, Reyes nearly died
finite urchin
Lots changed.
About his face omg I know he has smoky shit around him now
limpid agate
well reaper probably is old like soldier
Older.
finite urchin
No one is talking about that
Rodrigo asked about his face
finite urchin
So what’s ur point
limpid agate
Reaper in the present day is:
- Disfigured, but recognizeable
- Has pale white skin
That's all we know
finite urchin
I provided the latest available pic
night gate
Wait is the new archives event canon? Did tracer go back in time
limpid agate
What
limpid agate
The archives events are things that happened years ago
Tracer didn't go back in time
night gate
I know i mean the new one
peak escarp
they mean the trailer
limpid agate
Which released 2 years ago
peak escarp
Tracer recalls and it reveals the new skins like she went back in time
night gate
Archives event rn
peak escarp
Tracer doesn't actually time travel
finite urchin
Tracer doesn't actually time travel
I thought she did tho
peak escarp
think of it more like rewinding and fastforwarding on the timeline of a video
you're limited to just the timeline of that video, and the rest of the world continues forward around it
that's Tracer
finite urchin
Okay, but didnt she dream about being this maid in the 19th century
Oh well ig thats a dream tho
peak escarp
that was a reference to the VA's appearance on the show Downton Abbey
not a canon dream
also it's from HotS, which shouldn't be taken as a canon source
finite urchin
Fair enough
peak escarp
a lot of tech in Overwatch doesn't work like people think it does
nova yew
Didn’t torb build bastion
peak escarp
Torb designed the bastion model
limpid agate
Bastion was built by an omnium.
cold fox
yeah so bastion was BUILT by omnium and DESIGNED by torb

I think there's a bit more to it than that lol
peak escarp
genji only got mercy chocolate bcuz its a japanese tradition
it's a valentine's tradition to give chocolates to the person you love
even in Japan
(these are not girichoco)
finite urchin
genji only got mercy chocolate bcuz its a japanese tradition
But...why only to mercy?
finite urchin
(these are not girichoco)
Honmeichoco
peak escarp
if Genji was only buying her chocolates out of obligation, then he would have bought some for other people
since it's just Mercy, it's obviously a romantic gesture
finite urchin
Dude i just said that
peak escarp
I'm explaining for people who don't know what girichoco/honmeichoco mean
finite urchin
Okay sure
Yeah honmeichoco is basically buying chocolates for those you have romantic feelings for
Girichoco is doing it for acquaintances
minor vessel
Or even close friends
peak escarp
it's pretty clear that Mercy and Genji are meant to be in a romantic relationship

Yes, the character in the limo is an omnic.
It is an omnic director named Hal-Fred Glitchbot
finite urchin
It is an omnic director named Hal-Fred Glitchbot
Which is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock i assume
limpid agate
Yeah, and HAL-9000
peak escarp
another bit of trivia - Hal-fred Glitchbot is voiced by Travis Willingham
worthy rose
Oh ok cool
Which Overwatch Ultimate do you think would be the most painful to experience?
peak escarp
a lot of them would kill you
worthy rose
What year were they made?
cold hatch
Imagine if in some years robots will have conciousness and look at Overwatch and ban it bc it's racist towards them
worthy rose
Hmm well it's not like overwatch makes robots look bad
peak escarp
What year were they made?
we don't know exactly - Overwatch is set roughly 60 years in the future, and the omnic crisis happened 30 years before that
worthy rose
More like a historical game or something
peak escarp
so around the 2040s
worthy rose
Ew I'll be 40 tho
peak escarp
nothing bad about being 40

Not like you'll be 70 or more
worthy rose
nothing bad about being 40
Nothing good about it either

Is this server 18+?

cold hatch
It didn't "went wrong"
I think Reaper back to when we was doing it wasn't actually happy about it
limpid agate
30+ years ago, Reaper was part of the Soldier Enhancement Program (same as Soldier 76) which did genetically enhance him.
~8 years ago, he hired Moira to look at a "genetic" problem for him. She helped him cultivate his powers.
~6 years ago, him and Jack got into a fight at the Swiss HQ. People thought they were both dead. This also nearly killed him.
analog cargo

limpid agate
A combination of these 3 things built up to the Reaper's current condition

Yeah but it's still a member
analog cargo

peak escarp

cold hatch

peak escarp
No longer having to focus her energies on squabbles with the other gangs, Ashe is now writing her name across the American Southwest with a string of audacious heists and operations that has put her at top of the authorities’ most-wanted lists and cemented her legacy as an outlaw legend.
cold hatch
not low tier
Well they just steal and rob, they don't do international terrorism
peak escarp

but is the clan like a gang
iron plume
Then what other answer do you need

peak escarp
I was confused - I thought you were saying the Deadlock Gang was a Japanese family
iron plume
Crimes, they do crimes

Think mafia but japanese
analog cargo
this is the answer i wanted
iron plume
Bribery, "protection", running guns and drugs
analog cargo
not oh its a clan
peak escarp
drugs, illegal weapons trade, assassinations
cold hatch
I think they didn't put the real mafia in the game to not be too realistic
peak escarp
The Shimada family was established centuries ago, a clan of assassins whose power grew over the years, enabling them to build a vast criminal empire that profited from lucrative trade in arms and illegal substances.
cold hatch
WHAT? FOR REAL?
iron plume
and yes, Hanzo was ordered to kill Genji because Genji was a fuckboy bringing disrespect to the family
