Details

Genji's primary fire flings shuriken in quick bursts of three with no spread. His secondary fire will fling three shuriken at the same time with a horizontal spread. One shuriken flies straight down the crosshair; the other two fly at 9-degree angles on either side of the middle shuriken. Genji can only ever fire three shuriken at once with either method; therefore, from his stock of 30 shuriken, Genji can fire ten volleys in any combination before needing to reload. Genji can fire while jumping (and double-jumping), but he is unable to use it while wall climbing.

Trivia

• Genji's shurikens are capable of puncturing most light armor. They are stored and deployed from his cybernetic arm.
