A Quick Tip for Killing Ana/Hanzo/Lucio/Tracer/Sombra with Reaper

That’s a tough question. On Lucio: when he jumps he tucks in his legs which makes his hitbox really small even if you are in melee range. What you want to do is time your shot for after he reaches the peak of his jump because after hitting the max height he sticks out both legs giving you a really large hitbox to work with. If you get stuck only shooting him when he is going up to his max vertical height it will feel almost impossible to kill him. As for Tracer, you do need a certain thresho…

Previously, irrelevant, because the spread is rng, the shot is rng, and the crit is rng

Now, for most heroes, aim for the neck area, except for the ones listed by our top 500 Reaper main right above my comment

You can also do your own calculations for the optimal ranges.

The Trigonometry of Gun Spread: GUIDE

The following function tells you the max diameter of your gun spread at different distances. Y = 2xtan(θ/2) Remember to set your angles to degrees and not Radians! θ is the spread angle which can be found on the gamepedia page of every hero when you look at their shotgun stats. For example Reaper’s spread angle is 20.1°. x is the meters from the target you are Y is the diameter of the spread. Table of θ: Hero θ Reaper 20.1° D.Va 4.15° Roadhog 20.1° Torbjorn 4.15° Doom…

Nah don’t, bother. Reaper’s optimal range is essentially in everyone’s faces. Attempting to shoot anywhere away from that is never going to yield anything solid or reliable

I’m not a reaper main so take my advice with a grain of salt. My general rule of thumb is to breathe down their neck and just shoot them around their face area (or torso if they move around).

Most are good to shoot as long as you literally start shooting at them first and preferably from behind but there exceptions. Be wary of anyone that could potentially outheal or survive your damage (RH from memory?). Also be careful around characters with CC (Brig, McCree, etc) though if you’re good enough you can always bait it and wraith before cancelling it and spraying their face.

Lucios - if they run I leave them. Pilot D.Vas I just time they’re strafing.
