Baptiste - Developer Q&A Answers

[Eriq-11299]

Console and PC patches happen at the same time

[Fiddly-11318]

He’s talking about how console players can’t play him until he hits live, while pc players have the option of ptr

[Velo-1613]

Someone mentioned that they have a similar background so its interesting in a way.

[LongJohnTbag-1764]

Yeah, but console doesn’t have ptr

[Haychii-2819]

Thank you for your answers! Much appreciated

Yeah, but console doesn’t have ptr

Unfortunately, it has been addressed a few times that running a PTR version of the game client on console platforms would be impractical.

Needless to say another reason why…

Sombra hacking him confirmed to disable his boots. Now I know which is great.

[ƁRYǤUY-2398]

Nice! Can’t wait till he’s finally released to main servers.

[Ergotth-1602]

plot twist: Sombra’s hack kept the exo boots because she wants to give Baptiste a chance out of friendship xD

Alyssa Wong: Captain Cuerva and his team disappeared on their mission to recover Baptiste. They are assumed killed in action, but their deaths are unconfirmed.

Rev up those fan theories and expect to see Captain Cuerva on every list of potential heroes going forward.

Alyssa Wong: Baptiste and Sombra met for the first time while both were working for Talon. Over time, they became good friends. Sombra likes to keep an eye on everything, but she’s also looking out for Baptiste, even though he left Talon. It’s always nice to see what her old buddy has been up to.

makes sense:
“I need a drink.”
“Can I buy you a drink?”

As he’s lately been assisting with humanitarian efforts around the world, he’s certainly familiar with Mercy’s recent work.

Mercy’s love triangle with Pharah and Genji just became a quadrangle!

[Danielgimme-2380]

So hype to play baptiste im on pc

[Rocktopus-11683]

His equipment is a collection of armor and weaponry that Baptiste acquired over the years. Some are from the black market, and some are modified from his Caribbean Coalition and Talon gear. He’s always been resourceful, and during his time in the Caribbean Coalition, he often cobbled together useful equipment from whatever he could find.

So what you’re saying is we have four Junkers now?

[Sylph-1646]

Thanks for the answers. Was looking forward to a response to my question, but that’s fine.

Alyssa Wong: Baptiste and Sombra met for the first time while both were working for Talon. Over time, they became A COUPLE. Sombra likes to keep an eye on everything, but she’s also looking out for HER BAE, even though he left Talon. It’s always nice to see what her ULTIMATE CRUSH/CONFIRMED FUTURE HUSBAND has been up to.

I fixed it. Btw, what does “friends” mean?

[Blurbubla-1322]

It does have its downsides too in that it only boosts projectiles

Does this mean it’s not supposed to boost hitscan or do you count hitscan bullets as projectiles?

[Clover-13577]

The Immortality Field has many disadvantages compared to other support ultimates

Valkyrie? It makes you easier to kill, makes it harder to use resurrect, and it has a casting time for no reason.

Why does this logic apply to Baptiste but not to Mercy?

[Orion-15156]

In this context, I think they’re including hitscan and collectively calling them “projectiles” to distinguish it from beams like Zarya, Winston, Symmetra, and Mei, Melee like Reinhardt, Brigitte, and everyone’s quick melee, and assorted other exceptions like Roadhog’s hook or Lucio’s boop.

Okay, you made me laugh
