Overwatch: Sombra’s guide to player hacking

Tracer

You can hack Blink, but it’s very dependant on timing. Recall can also be hacked.

You can’t do much about Tracer’s Pulse Bomb.

Bastion

Bastion’s turret form and self-repair can be disabled by hack.

You can’t do anything about his Ultimate, tank form.

Widowmaker

Grappling Hook can be hacked, and you can cloak out of sight from her Infra-Sight Ultimate.

Venom Mine can’t be hacked once you’re inside of it.

Torbjörn

Your hack can technically hack a turret, but you’ll need to do so without taking damage during the process. EMP also disables a turret.

See above, really.

Mei

Cryo-Freeze isn’t affected by hack. Neither is Mei’s Blizzard Ultimate after the ice bomb is thrown.

D.Va

Defence Matrix, and Boost can be hacked, and D.Va can be stopped from calling a new mech after using her Ultimate.

Her Self-Destruct Ultimate itself isn’t affected by hack.

Reinhardt

Charge and Fire Strike can be hacked, but it’s very dependant on timing.

Earthshatter can’t be hacked. His Barrier Field can also block your own attempts to hack.

Winston

Winston’s Jump Pack can be hacked as it’s activated.

Primal Rage can’t be hacked or EMPed. His Barrier Projector can prevent your hacks, but you can hack him whilst inside the barrier itself.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
