Reaper Tips

  • When you’re about to use your Ult, you can let a free shot off first if somebody is within your sights
  • Always make sure you have reloaded before going into wraith form. The last thing you need is to be caught by an enemy when the wraith ability ends because you had to reload your weapons
  • Try to pounce the enemy team from behind as much as possible. Your aim should always be to take enemies off guard. Avoid taking on groups of enemies head on as this makes Reaper vulnerable. Flank around and try to catch them either from the side or from behind
  • To utilize the full spread of Reaper’s shotguns, you’ll need to get right up to the enemy and line up their head in the center of your crosshair. This will one-shot squishy characters; stronger characters may need two bursts.
  • Always flank an enemy McCree as he counters reaper easily in a head-on bout using his Flashbang and hit-scan revolver
  • While most players will focus kill the enemy healers, Reaper may be better used for focusing damage dealers like Junkrat, Hanzo, Mcree, Genji and Roadhog
