Thanks to some new voice lines, the Overwatch fandom is geeking out over the idea of the surly cowboy McCree dressed as a waiter. I am here for it.
Overwatchâs Retribution event expands a part of lore players have been wanting to explore. The event takes place during a mission where Blackwatch, the Overwatch teamâs black ops division, infiltrates a hideout in future Venice. Some of the new voice lines youâll hear during this event, if you play the scenario enough, are McCree, Reaper and Moira talking about their alternate infiltration plan. Apparently, McCree was supposed to pose as a waiter, but he got fired from his cover job. He also practiced his Italian accent based off of the Spaghetti Westerns heâd been watching. Take a listen:
If youâre a talented artist who loves Overwatch and also loves shitposting, of course youâd have to draw that. And players have been. One even went so far as to make a short comic of McCreeâs short lived career as a waiter, which other fans voice acted:

Some players are imagining the moment when McCree gets fired:
