Junkrat is a versatile character mostly used to lock down parts of the map, making it really hard for the enemy team to push into those areas. By doing raw, uncontrolled damage, Junkrat is a force to reckon with. He is best used to hold choke points, deny the enemy team from entering important areas and peeling for the backline in some cases.

As a go-to strategy, you can attack the enemy team head on if they are pushing, or focus on defending one of your team’s flanks. If you made quick work of any approaching flanker with your trap and nades, you can join the main fight and focus on picking important targets from afar with your grenades that have no damage-falloff.

To help you, we’ve put together some basic Junkrat tips, keep these in mind when you are playing!
