Dialog [ edit ]

Athena: Hello, Soldier 76. I am Athena. I will be guiding you through the Overwatch Training Program. Now, where is she...

(Tracer appears)

Tracer: Wait for me! Hiya! Tracer here.

Athena: Let's get started. Please use your controls to look at Tracer as she moves around the room.

Tracer: Over here!

Athena: Excellent. Now watch Tracer run to the center of the room.

Tracer: Here I am!

Athena: Let's go over the basics of movement. You can move forwards and backwards in the direction you are looking. You can also move left and right.

Athena: Follow Tracer as she moves around the hangar. Continue following Tracer. Keep following Tracer. Excellent. Jump up onto the ledge and go through the blast door.

Tracer: Bye!

Athena: Welcome to the Target Range. Please proceed to the highlighted area. Let me walk you through the basics of combat. Your portrait is displayed in the lower left corner of your screen. That's you, Soldier 76. Next to you is your current health. If it reaches zero, you die. Your primary weapon is your heavy pulse rifle. I'll get you something to shoot at. Aim through the crosshairs in the middle of the screen. Move them over to the Training Bot, then fire. Nicely done. You can also strike a target near you with a melee attack. Move next to the Training Bot, aim, then strike it with a melee attack. Enemies in the field may be a little harder to hit than that one. Let me get you something a little more challenging to shoot at. Enemies like these Training Bots are marked with a red outline. Damaging an enemy causes their current health to display above their head.

Athena: Most weapons fire a limited amount of ammo before they need to be reloaded. Your current ammo is displayed here in the bottom right of the screen. If you run out of ammo, you will automatically reload, or you can manually reload at any time. Great work. That covers the basics of your weapon.

Athena: Next, we'll go over your abilities. We'll begin with Sprint. Please go to the highlighter area in the center of the room. While moving forward, you can activate Sprint to run faster. Try it now.

Athena: In addition to Sprint you also have the ability to heal yourself with Biotic Field. To demonstrate it, I need to damage you slightly. Now, deploy a Biotic Field. You will heal while you are within the glowing area. Note that you will have to wait a short time before using that ability again. This cooldown time is displayed over the ability icon. Your rifle is also equipped with Helix Rockets. You can launch a volley of rockets in the direction you're aiming. When the rockets explode, they also damage nearby enemies. Try it out on the targets. Fire your Helix Rockets at the targets. Aim at the targets, then fire your Helix Rockets. Damage the targets with Helix Rockets to continue.

Athena: Finally, let me explain Tactical Visor, your Ultimate Ability. These powerful abilities can change the course of the game. But you must fully charge it before using it. Your current charge level is displayed here at the bottom of your screen. Charge your tactical visor by damaging the Training Bots. Your Ultimate is 50% charged. Your Ultimate is almost fully charged. Your Tactial Visor is charged. The Tactical Visor optimizes your shots so they do not miss. Now, activate your Tactical Visor and destroy the Training Bots.

Athena: All targets destroyed. Nice work, Soldier 76. For the final phase of the training program, I'll show you how to capture an objective. Your current objective is indicated with the directional marker labeled "A".
