Overwatch 2’s Junker Queen is a Berserker tank who applies wounds to all enemies when attacked. When you play as Junker Queen your only goal is to be aggressive and wound your enemies as much as possible.
Junker Queen’s Commanding Shout is a AOE (Area of Effect) health regeneration field that adds 200 health for Junker Queen and 50 health for her teammates. I love to use Commanding Shout whenever chaos ensues and teammates are taking a beating. It also seems to increase movement speed.
Scattergun is Junker Queen’s righthand pump-action shotgun weapon and it’s a beast. You can headshot from a distance and or inflict high damage up close. Me? I spam Scattergun at the same time I spam Jagged Blade alternating triggers on the PS5 or Xbox gamepad to inflict maximum damage on any foe in front of me.
Jagged Edge is Junker Queen’s knife that applies wound effect on recall. Think of it as a boomerang knife that you can throw out and recall as you use her scattergun at the same time. Jagged Blade has a short cooldown so I use it constantly in matches along with spamming scattergun.
My key to dominating with Junker Queen is to always be on the offensive. I use a controller so I always tap right and left triggers (usually right first with scattergun then left trigger for Jagged Blade. I alternate those back and forth.
Alternating Scattergun with Jagged Blade traps strafing enemies into my right and left simultaneous attacks. When using the combo of Scattergun and Jagged Blade’s recall properly you will kill enemies within seconds. If they don’t die they will eventually because of the wound effects.
Junker Queen is a tank that was designed to survive. She has an Adrenaline Rush passive ability that heals wounds overtime. Carnage is her close quarters Axe attack that I always use when a enemy is dumb enough to get close to me. Rampage is Junker Queen’s Ultimate. Rampage damages enemies overtime and they cannot be healed once hit by it.
I included two video matches I had with Junker Queen in this article. One where I win a Deathmatch Free For All on Paris Map. Second, is attack Payload on an Arcade match where I got two separate killstreaks in-game. Never forget objectives!
Junker Queen does take some getting used to. I am no pro player. I can tell you If you focus on Junker Queen’s Scattergun and Jagged Knife combos you will get gud fast! When you master that, focus on using her Carnage Axe up close and Rampage ultimate ability.
