Overwatch 2 is a first-person shooter fan's dream as it has many DPS heroes that can dwindle others' HP in no time flat. Tracer is able to zip behind enemy forces and take out critical party members, while Soldier 76 can tear through a wave of enemies in no time flat with his assault rifle and rockets. Here are the best DPS heroes in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 Sojourn: The Reliable Damage Dealer
One of the newest characters in this list Sojourn is also one of the most dangerous. This ex-Canadian Special Forces soldier can deliver a petrifying amount of damage to her opponents with the railgun. She can also dispatch a powerful Disruptor Shot that can deal 210 damage across a wide area of effect. If that wasn't enough, there's an alternate fire with her railgun that releases a piercing shot of around 100 damage towards the opponent. Lastly, she also has a slide, similar to a game like Apex Legends, which gives her great manoeuvrability.

Overwatch 2 Genji: The Sneaky Ninja
Genji is one of the most terrifying heroes you'll find in Overwatch 2. He can deflect projectiles right back at you, can zip behind enemy lines when you least expect it and can deal a heck of a lot of damage while using his ultimate. While he has a low HP count, Genji is so agile and is hard to hit when used by a smart player. His shurikens can devastate someone's hit points, while his Swift Blade can take you out with a moment's notice. It can be difficult to figure out Genji's fast-paced nature, but like any blade, once you master his moveset, you'll be a true force in battle.
- Do you like to play competitively? There are several changes that have been made to the mode.
Overwatch 2 Bastion: A Force To Be Reckoned With
Bastion was a pain in the butt in Overwatch, and he remains to be the scorn of many in the sequel. He's had a few changes, but his turret fire is still dominant within Overwatch 2. This turret fire does stop after a burst of ten or so seconds every so often, but the robot can now move while firing, making him a threatening force. In addition, he can now send out an A-36 Tactical Grenade, which can deal around 100 damage and comes thick and fast. Bastion's Ultimate is even more terrifying as he sends artillery fire to three chosen areas. If hit, the enemy will likely be obliterated and knocked out from the action. An Overwatch character like Sombra or Kiriko would stand no chance against it.
