Okay, unfortunately not a full map preview, just an on-rails tour of a small section. But it does reveal that the map is on the broken moon, not the planet.

The main menu still shows tickets in the crafting rotation so I don’t think it’s too late to get one.

I wonder if the rail is a new traversal element?

Her abilities don’t really seem to match the leaked version. The tactical seems more like a snare and that ult looks like it works much more like Rhapsody’s from the mobile version. No sign of the passive ability - a visual-only barrier that also blocks scans. This one maybe slows when you try to pass through it, too.

Looks like confirmation on the rail being a real thing. A horizontal zip line that doesn’t have to go straight sounds like a fun idea.

Seems like there’s areas of the map that are more terraformed than the bit we saw in the tour.

Gameplay trailer on Monday.

Glad they changed them tbh. Her building a tower seemed kinda stupid since thats kinda what Horizon does? That ult reminds of valorant wall thingy one of the characters has. Only I guess this one doesn't allow bullets through.

Yeah curious how her passive is going to work. She seemed to be pretty far from that door? Though I guess you'll just have to activate it kinda like how Ash's marked for death is "passive" but you still gotta go up to a deathbox.

quote:

Here are Catalyst’s abilities:

Passive: Barricade — Barricade reinforces doors on a building using ferrofluid. Once reinforced, the doors are locked to enemy teams and will take longer to break down. Barricade can also rebuild doors that have been destroyed. You can have two doors reinfoced at a time, and the first barricaded door will revert to normal if you use the ability again.
Tactical: Piercing Spikes — Piercing Spikes builds a patch of spiky terrain from ferrofluid. Any enemies that step into the spikes will take damage and move more slowly. To destroy Piercing Spikes, enemies will need to get close enough to expose a glowing core, so it can’t be removed from a distance.
Ultimate: Dark Veil — Dark Veil creates a massive ferrofluid wall to block enemy vision. Any enemies who pass through Dark Veil will be briefly slowed and partially blinded on the other side. Dark Veil blocks scanning abilities used by other teams, but it is possible to go over the wall with some movement abilities.

It always has afaik. You used to be able to stand right on the edge of the smoke and shoot out from it with aim assist but they changed that in S13.

I think the most important thing this shows us is that Catalyst has the best ground emotes.

Yo I think that's a reactive Sentinel shown off briefly? Might just be charged though.


Also Mirage now has the slow clap emote so kinda no contest for best ground emotes now.

Yeah that trailer pretty much confirms my suspicion that she's gonna be insane with Bangalore's smoke. Forget Wattson/Caustic, good luck fighting a Bang/Cat squad when you're effectively permanently blind.

Can digithreats see through the wall? They (and Bloodhound's ultimate) should at least be able to still highlight enemies through the wall's blindness.

Not as a combo, just that the three of them are still topping the carts after 2? 3? 4? years.

As to why it's because of their movement abilities. Pathfinder especially has a high skill ceiling with grappling that players desperately try to emulate.

Path is also just fun. It’s fun to swing around like a maniac.

He’s enormous though, you get shredded by players who can aim.
