All you have to do is log in to Overwatch 2 and you will gain Junker Queen automatically.\u00a0It can\u2019t get much easier than that!<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re a new player, there are a few more hoops to jump through first. You\u2019ll have to complete the tutorial, and then jump into a few online matches before Junker Queen is added to your hero roster. Still, it\u2019s a lot easier than grinding the battle pass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on Overwatch 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/overwatch-2-crossplay\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Is Overwatch 2 crossplay?<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>Online options explained<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/overwatch-2-story-mode\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Overwatch 2 story mode<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 when is PvE content coming?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/how-to-merge-overwatch-2-accounts\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>How to merge Overwatch 2 accounts<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 don\u2019t miss out<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/overwatch-2-down-servers-status\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Is Overwatch 2 down?<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Check the server status<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/overwatch-2-achievements-trophies\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Overwatch 2 achievements<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 full list of trophies<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2><strong>Overwatch 2 Junker Queen abilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A brawler, Junker Queen is designed to dip in and out of close-range encounters and her abilities complement this.

Adrenaline Rush heals all damage dealt by wounds over time. Especially as Junker Queen\u2019s abilities all inflict wounds, this greatly rewards aggressive gameplay.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Commanding Shout<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Commanding Shout allows Junker Queen to increase her health by 200 and nearby allies by 100 \u2013 a true Tank ability if we ever did see one. It also increases movement by 30 per cent. What\u2019s not to like?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Carnage<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Living up to the name, Carnage summons a huge axe which she swings in front of her and deals wound damage to all nearby enemies in her radius. It\u2019s one of the deadliest weapons in the game, and can also give a health boost by activating Adrenaline Rush at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rampage<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Junker Queen\u2019s ultimate propels her forwards at high speed, inflicting all impacted enemies with heavy wounds \u2013 wounds which they won\u2019t be able to recover from. It\u2019s a powerful ultimate that can seriously disrupt an enemy team.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Overwatch 2 Junker Queen weapons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Junker Queen\u2019s main weapon is the Scattergun, a pump-action shotgun that is effective at short-to-medium range. With six rounds in each magazine, you have ammunition to spare which can be useful for getting close to enemies where a single shot can be lethal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Welcome to the apocalypse. <br\/><br\/>See Junker Queen swing her axe and rampage the battlefield! <br\/><br\/>Rush into the action with Junker Queen, playable in the <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Overwatch2?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">#Overwatch2<\/a> Beta on June 28. <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/SkvOEqr34u&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/SkvOEqr34u<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlayOverwatch\/status\/1539278480914923520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">June 21, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><p>Her secondary weapon is the Jagged Blade, which has a passive ability of Quick Melee or an active ability that allows you to throw the blade for 80 damage and wound infliction \u2013 and can be recast to bring affected enemies towards you\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0for all the latest insights.
