Overwatch's Newest Hero Wrecking Ball Is Now Live
It's only been a few weeks since Hammond was announced and now he's already live outside the test servers, so everyone can get a chance to take him for a roll.
Hammond is a hamster inside a large rolling mech, a modified escape pod he used to abscond from the lunar colony he was held in. He uses the mech to not only roll around at high speeds, but also attach himself to solid structures using a grappling line and swinging around like, well, a wrecking ball.
Check out the live trailer of Wrecking Ball below.
I personally think they should change the name from Wrecking Ball to Hammond, but I suppose it doesn't matter if everyone just calls him Hammond, anyway.
Hammond is live now on all platforms, so you can go ahead and choose the new hero the next time you boot up the game.
