You’ve gotta love Reddit. The platform is a goldmine for third-party, user-generated content that can totally reshape how we think about our favorite games. And the latest Overwatch 2 trick to come out of the community is nothing short of a game-changer—this one takes our good ol’ gunslinger, Cassidy, and gives him some unexpected airtime, turning him into a vertical hero.

Now, most Overwatch 2 players are already familiar with the vertical nature of certain heroes. Think Pharah and her rocket jumps, or D.Va’s boosters that can send her soaring above the battlefield. But Cassidy? He’s usually more of a “boots-on-the-ground” kind of guy. Up until now, Cassidy has slipped under the radar when it comes to vertical movement.

Well, not anymore.

When Overwatch 2 dropped, it came with some shiny new heroes while keeping most of the familiar faces from the original game. But with the shift from a 6-player to a 5-player format, some of those OG heroes got hit with significant nerfs and buffs. Among the most drastically changed were Doomfist, Orisa, and Bastion.

Our favorite damage hero, Cassidy, also got a few tweaks; his Combat Roll and Deadeye Ultimate were adjusted, and his trusty Flashbang was swapped out for a Magnetic Grenade. These changes threw a lot of longtime players for a loop, making it tough to get the hang of their favorite characters’ new playstyles.

But one creative player found a clever way to take Cassidy’s abilities and turn him into a vertical powerhouse.

n his video, the player shows off some slick ways Cassidy can get out of sticky situations. By using Cassidy’s Combat Roll creatively, he’s able to climb to the second floor from that small room next to the Nepal Sanctum capture point—the one with the Health pack. Getting Cassidy up to higher ground has a huge perk: it gives him a better view to pick off enemies with his Deadeye Ultimate.

And let’s be honest, most players aren’t expecting Cassidy to be hanging out above them. They’re more likely to scan the usual ground-level spots when they hear his Deadeye dialogue. This element of surprise could easily lead to multi-kills or even team wipes, especially if you nail the Combat Roll strategy just right.

Technically, they’ve been here all along. But a newer version has renewed buzz instigating a lot of hype.
