While Halloween is over, one Widowmaker player still received a major jumpscare in Overwatch 2 when they were hit by Ashe’s Dynamite. While there are many different Damage options in Overwatch 2, Ashe and Widowmaker are two of the best characters for engaging in long-range gunfights. While Widowmaker can one-shot a variety of characters with her sniper, Ashe also has a variety of abilities that make her effective, such as her Dynamite.

Even though Ashe was not one of the first characters added to the Overwatch series, she has made quite an impact since she arrived on the scene. Among Ashe’s abilities in Overwatch 2, her Dynamite allows her the perfect combo opportunity. She can toss this item a considerable distance in front of her. While it will explode after a few seconds, many players choose to shoot it out of the air, preferably over a group of enemies. The burn damage inflicted by the ability leaves most heroes open to being finished off with another shot or two of her rifle.

Recently, one Ashe player used this to great effect against an enemy Widowmaker on Route 66 in Overwatch 2. The clip showing this interaction between the two heroes was uploaded to Reddit by TheDarkLordPheonixos. The action began as the Widowmaker’s team pushed the payload through the Western Town Complex segment of the map. It is worth noting that this area of Route 66 lends itself to long sightlines, ideal for long-range characters. After landing a final blow on an enemy Cassidy, Widowmaker ducked behind a couple of hay bales for cover. However, they were not expecting what was about to happen next.

While crouched behind cover, Widowmaker shot her Venom Mine in the direction of the enemy team. They then decided to peak out from the behind the hay bales, believing enough time had passed to allow them to get a quick elimination on an unsuspecting player. Unfortunately for the Widowmaker, the opposite took place. As she moved out from cover, she was greeted by a stick of Dynamite from Ash flying directly into her face. Having no time to move, the explosive detonated in Widowmaker’s face, eliminating her in the process.

When uploading the clip to Reddit, TheDarkLordPheonixos jokingly called the play the “Jumpscare of the Year.” It seems many users on the Overwatch subreddit are in agreement with TheDarkLordPheonixos’ jumpscare claim. The post already has 1.4K upvotes, and several gamers admitted that the Dynamite thrown by Ashe startled them as well.

While this jumpscare featured in this Overwatch 2 clip is memorable, it is far from the only video from the game being shared on social media. And while Widowmaker came out on the losing end this time, her sniper is a force to be reckoned with on certain maps. With this in mind, there will likely be more clips featuring Widowmaker in Overwatch 2 in the coming days.

Overwatch 2 is available in early access for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
