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.
