Junkrat


Trivia

  • Junkrat is 6`5" tall, and weighs 155 lbs (196 cm and 70 kg). This makes Junkrat the 4th tallest character in the game, though he appears shorter due to normally being hunched over.
  • Junkrat and Roadhog`s shared backstory of Australia becoming a wasteland apocalypse bears strong resemblance to the setting of the Mad Max series.
  • Junkrat`s surname `Fawkes` could be a reference to Guy Fawkes. This is evidenced by a voice line in the beta (since removed) that references the opening line of the Guy Fawkes Day song "The Fifth of Nov."
  • Junkrat`s buckle in his Fool and Jester skins have the letters "JSTR" on it (presumably standing for "Jester"), This may be an in-game parody of McCree`s "BAMF" buckle.
  • Junkrat`s Fool and Jester skins as well as his Haystack and Scarecrow skins have some similarities to the DC Comics characters "The Joker" and "Scarecrow", respectively.
    • The fact all three characters are in some way psychotic, reenforces the similarities.
  • Junkrat`s Rip-Tire Ultimate ability is a play on the design of the rip-cord car toys.

Strategy

Junkrat is a hero that excels at defending an area through the use of traps and indirect fire; he is valued for his damage output and area denial capabilities. He has strong mobility thanks to Concussion Mine and deals high (if inaccurate) damage with his Frag Launcher. The explosive and hard-to-aim nature of his weapon, be that as it may, makes it challenging for him to fight at close range with most heroes.

Official tips

Weapons & Abilities

General Strategies

  • While Junkrat can deal tremendous damage with his Frag Launcher, it takes a considerable amount of skill and practice to accurately land grenades. In general, it`s best to launch your grenades at an area, rather than at a specific target, as Junkrat`s biggest strength comes from his ability to make any area hazardous to travel through. If you`re forced to fight an opponent head on, try to lead your Frag Launcher shots so that your enemy will run into them.
  • If you are confronted by an enemy up close, you should use either your Concussion Mine or Steel Trap to let you gain some distance, even though you won`t take any damage while firing grenades up close, but the grenade is pretty slow to affect close-range enemy.
  • Placing your Steel Trap and Concussion Mine well are key when playing Junkrat. Your Steel Trap should be placed in spots without much room to maneuver in order to force enemies to either destroy the trap or step on it. This can be used to protect your flank by telling you when an enemy is coming through the area where you dropped your trap. Place your Concussion Mine above a doorway or next to a wall that you know your opponents will be traveling by. The explosion can be used to both damage and separate the enemy team, allowing your team to pick off whoever gets blown towards you.
  • RIP-Tire can be tricky to use. Its loud engines can be heard clearly by your opponents, giving them a general idea of where the tire is. Avoid driving it straight at your enemies, as they`ll most likely be able to destroy it before it gets to them, wasting your ultimate. Instead, use side routes to get the tire behind your enemies, either by driving the tire through these routes, or taking the routes yourself and then unleashing the tire once you`re behind them. Keep in mind that Junkrat is completely helpless while controlling the tire and easily killed, so try to activate RIP-Tire from a safe position.
  • Junkrat`s Concussion Mine can be placed on walls, ceilings, and even basketballs. This can be used as a tricky way to get an unexpected kill.
  • A combination of the Steel Trap and Concussion Mine can instantly kill 200 @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### characters. Additionally, this stradegy works best when placing it over a health pack or at a well-used choke.

Background

Junkrat`s mugshot

The attack on the Australian Australia Location Oceania Terrain Various Australia is a country in the Earth s southern hemisphere. Contents 1 History 2 Known Locations 3 Known Nationals 4 Trivia 5 References History edit | edit source] Australia was nearly omnium The Detroit omnium Omniums are self-improving automated robotics factories installed in locations worldwide, originally constructed by the now-defunct Omnica Corporation. Though these factories were eventually dismantled following evidence of corporate fraud, they later reactivated of overwatch `s fusion core forever altered the landscape of the Outback. After the detonation, the area was transformed into a harsh, irradiated wasteland, littered with debris and the twisted fragments of the ruined facility, and unlivable to most.

But there were some who survived. Calling themselves the Junkers The Junkers are a cutthroat society that resides in the Australian Outback. Their origins lie with the destruction of the country s omnium, which turned the Outback into an irradiated wasteland that was uninhabitable to most , they scavenged the husk of the omnium and formed a lawless, cutthroat society in its shadow. Junkrat was one of them, eking out a living reclaiming metal and components from the ruins. Like many others, he was affected by the lingering radiation. This touch of madness made him ideal for handling dangerous explosives, a love which he turned into an obsession.

He came to notoriety when he discovered an extremely valuable secret in the bones of the omnium. Though few knew the nature of what he found, he was nonetheless pursued by bounty hunters, gangs, and opportunists wherever he went, until he made a deal with the Junker enforcer Roadhog Roadhog "I m a one-man apocalypse."

On the Road

Junkrat & Roadhog

With Roadhog in tow, Junkrat left the Outback, and embarked upon an international crime spree leaving nothing but havoc and bedlam in their wake. They were responsible for a string of robberies, arson, murder, and other crimes stretching from Sydney Sydney Location New South Wales, Australia Terrain Coastal city Sydney is a city in Australia.

It is known that they performed the heist of the Banco de Dorado The Banco de Dorado (Spanish for "Dorado s Bank") is a bank located in Dorado 1] that was robbed by Junkrat and Roadhog, 2] where they gained entry by digging a tunnel. 3].

Going Legit

"Yeah yeah, `quiet.` You called the right people, mate."
The Junkers face off against the cop bots

At some point, Junkrat and Roadhog were called in for a job on behest of a "suit" Note: The title of this article is based on conjecture. "I m just an honest businessman. My kindness, my social sensibilities...and my boundless humility...make me a target." "The Suit" Occupation Businessman Affiliation Hyde Global "The Suit" overwatch from Hyde Global Hyde Global Type Corporation Standing Active Hyde Global is a corporation involved in the manufacture of automated robots. Background edit | edit source] In the time period after Overwatch disbanded, Hyde Global had seen a overwatch in Sydney. He claimed that a factory of his in downtown Sydney had been taken over by omnic terrorists, and its workers taken hostage. Wanting to keep the police New South Wales Police Force Headquarters New South Wales, Australia Type Police force Standing Active The New South Wales Police Force is the law enforcement agency of New South Wales, Australia. They were on the out of it, he asked the pair to deal with the situation, as he knew there was no-one better for getting jobs done "quietly." Junkrat was onboard⃢₀ₔhe was happy to take out omnics, and the down payment looked enticing. Ergo, the pair set off to the factory, Junkrat even open to the idea of "going legit." This job could be a new start for them. What wasn`t a new start was his approach to problems, namely to blow open a hole in the factory roof and jump straight in, any thought of the hostages barely registering. Only there were none, only a horde of cop bots A cop bot Cop bots are a type of automated, non-omnic robot. They are equipped with caterpillar tracks, rapid-firing projectile weaponry, and can let out automated speech. They are manufactured by Hyde Global. 1] References overwatch . The two blasted their way through the opposition, exited the factory, and then set the whole thing crashing down in yet another explosion. Marveling at the destruction, Junkrat was reminded by Roadhog that there were meant to be hostages. Only, there were none, only the robots. And as he inspected them, Junkrat realized that they weren`t omnics, but rather Hyde Global automatons.

At this point the police arrived. Despite Junkrat`s assertion that they were "professionals," that didn`t prevent a shootout from starting (not that Roadhog being called "fat" by one of the officers helped his disposition). In the hail of gunfire, Roadhog helped Junkrat realize that the suit had set them up. It was a realization that was accurate, for in reality, the suit had intended for the pair to destroy the factory for the insurance payout. But the next day, Junkrat and Roadhog paid him a visit, stringing him up on a crane, and leaving him to die in an explosion that consumed the entire HG Sydney office block. As they made their escape, Junkrat was reaffirmed in his dislike of "suits," and could only ask whose idea it had been to "go legit" in the first place.
