Brigitte’s big hero moment
Ever since Blizzard revealed Overwatch 2’s story missions at Blizzcon 2019, we’ve been stuck with a major cliffhanger. The first mission, “Resistance,” sees Lúcio, the medic, DJ, and all around vibe of a support hero, plummeting to his supposed death after failing to reach Overwatch’s escape shuttle as the team evacuates from an exploding Null Sector ship. Lúcio is quick on his skates, but isn’t quite able to make it to ship as it’s escaping and everything is blowing up around him. Mei calls out his name as he starts to fall, then Brigitte, equipped with her flail, extends its chain to pull the hero to safety like a knight in shining armor. There wasn’t any real expectation that Lúcio would’ve died here, as he’s still obviously in the game, but he’s been, falling over Rio’s skies for four years on repeat in my mind. Luckily, Brig swoops in and saves the day. Queen shit.
