Details[]

Zarya's cannon fires a 15-meter beam that deals 85 damage per second (of continuous ticks) at 0 Energy and 170 damage per second at 100 Energy. This consumes 20 ammo per second.

Alt-fire will lob energy grenades that explode on contact, dealing 45 damage at 0 Energy and 90 damage at 100 Energy. Each shot consumes 20 ammo.

Trivia[]

  • Zarya's Particle Cannon is nicknamed Мститель (Mstitel'), meaning "Avenger".
  • Zarya's gloves conduct and amplify the energy flowing through her Particle Cannon.[1]
  • Ripped from the hull of an armored vehicle during battle, the Particle Cannon is far too heavy for most soldiers to carry unassisted.[2]
