Sierra has been officially revealed as Overwatch's newest hero in Season 2 as part of the Summit Breach trailer. This is the first time we have seen what she will look like and what her potential in-game kit will be. With a large plasma rifle in hand, it's pretty safe to assume the kind of role she will play.

Potential Sierra abilities and roles in Overwatch

As of writing, Blizzard hasn't officially described Sierra's abilities and how they will function. However, the trailer allows us plenty of room for speculation about how her possible kit will work.

• Weapon: Helix Rifle, which should work as an assault weapon. There will be a possible spiral pattern to the shots.
• Tracking Shot: Helix Rifle shots that will track the enemy and reveal their location unless they're far away.
• Drone: A functional drone that could provide some kind of mobility boost. Indications are that you'll be able to launch the drone in the air and grapple towards it, and then swing in either direction.
• Charge: Tremor charge that will create shockwaves upon impact.
• Ultimate: Deploy a drone that will drop explosives on enemies
• Passive: Reveal enemies beyond a certain threshold to reveal their locations.

As for her role, Sierra is going to be a DPS. With a weapon like her rifle and the drone, there's no better role that looks more suitable for her. With her, the best possible play might be mid-distance battles, as long-range sniping doesn't appear to be very optimal with her possible kit.

in Overwatch. If the rumors and speculations turn out to be true, she can be extremely high on the meta tier list, especially when all DPS units are considered.
