Overwatch: Retribution | Commander Reyes Theme
Some tips and tricks that I have picked up playing Overwatch: Retribution.
This is especially helpful on the higher difficulties and probably already known by some, but I’ve yet to watch any tutorials on how to effectively face your opponents on Expert/Legendary. I have yet to complete it on Legendary mind you, but in my first attempt I got to the first heavy tank by using these pointers so!
Also I am in no means an expert on this event, this is simply all coming from trial and error.
1. If McCree has his flashbang on cool-down, you can melee the Assassin off your teammate to effectively stun her
2. It’s important that you stick together - vital even. Remember that there is no time-limit, so if you need to regroup and heal, then do so
3. You don’t necessary have to have the best aim, just good game-sense, and I’ve found that all the ults save for Moira are best focused on crowd-control when facing the mini-bosses along the way to the evac
4. Genji don’t use your blade on a group of Enforcers without back-up. You will get McWrekt (same goes for you, Reyes)
5. The second Sniper and their reinforcements that can be found on higher ground over the bridge (there are two on Legendary) can be lured back into the room where the Troopers smash the windows in. Back right out to the entrance to funnel out the Enforcers and Troopers first, and the Sniper will remain by the broken window to be susceptible to cheeky headshots behind cover
6. Don’t over-extend. I can not stress this enough. It’s tempting to dive into a group of enemies and get those sweet, sweet kills but unless you’re Top 500 you will most likely die immediately from focus-fire
7. The Heavy Tank will boop you away if you attempt to use Death Blossom on him
8. Not everyone needs to be on one person to revive them, and be careful not to be cornered by grouping up together like this
9 if your teammate(s) falls during the first Heavy Tank showdown, merely refer to point no. 5 by backing up and out of that room, up the stairs behind you and quickly drop down and into the room again once the Heavy and his reinforcements follow you. If effective, it will buy you some time to revive your teammate(s) with only a few stragglers to deal with. These AI are very easy to bait
10. In addition, don’t panic if a teammate falls. They usually have around 45 seconds to be revived. Just focus on clearing all the enemies in the surrounding area otherwise you will become overwhelmed quite quickly
11. McCree’s Deadeye is fantastic against Snipers and Assassins. But! A Sniper will always get a shot out first if she is training on you at the same time and will kill you before you can fully lock on if she is at full-health. Follow-up with a headshot or bodyshot. It should go without saying that the Sniper is your number-one priority and it’s usually either Genji’s or McCree’s responsibility to deal with her
12. Start on the roof with the tables at the evac point. If things get too hot, drop down onto the ground and regroup. A lot of that part of the mission is cat-and-mouse.
13. Teabag fallen teammates as you revive them. It’s good for morale
Speak freely.

The Gunslinger's Personality
Independent, wayward and considered to be a 'loose canon' by some, McCree’s outward presence is both amicable, yet guarded. Though McCree is quick to bear a smile, his common attitude is outwardly austere, collected and intimidating to the point where people will generally avoid approaching him. It’s more out of habit than apparent displeasure of being addressed - he has learnt to adapt this behaviour as a means of protecting himself. Likewise his own severe judgement on himself can at times reflect upon the way he perceives another.
In retrospect, McCree possesses an indomitable will that is rarely shaken despite deeply regretting his past actions. McCree will not hesitate in voicing his opinion freely (which at times is just shy of being obnoxious), although he is clever, and will not show his cards until the opportune moment arises before him.
McCree is a restless soul that is displeased with his current circumstances and constantly pursues change. Despite temptations, McCree tends to abstain from retreating back into old habits out of comfort as he considers this dangerous and is constantly searching for difficult and at times confrontational scenarios in order to better himself.
The Gunslinger Fancies
McCree is bisexual and monogamous though prefers to keep things casual. He is drawn to a person's vigor and independence than their physical appearance alone as it mirror's his own. It is easy for McCree to fancy another, though he will generally not pursue them unless their intentions are absolutely clear. McCree enjoys a casual hook-up, although he does not always reciprocate another's advances if he deems them becoming too involved.
Despite his flirtatious nature, McCree is quite specific with who he sleeps with, and never allows a passing flirtation to develop into something more serious due to his current circumstance.
The Gunslinger and Intimacy
Given his exposure to the Deadlock Gang and recruitment into Blackwatch thereafter, McCree's own attitude towards relationships has deviated from the traditional outlook. To many, an intimate, sexual and/or romantic relationship with another or persons that is bred from love and devotion is what people seek in their lives. For McCree, it is not this desire to love another and ‘be one’ with another that motivates him to initiate relationships with others, but something else that closely resembles this intimacy.
It is friendship: the mutual appreciation and respect for one another through firm bonds by trusting them entirely and disclosing vulnerabilities. This is what McCree believes is important. McCree relies on these connections as he considers them the closest resemblance to a 'family' that he never had the privelege of having. Although many miscomprehend McCree as being open, he is in fact quite secretive and is unwilling to disclose anything truly personal about himself, which can cause quite a strain on developing relationships.
Therefore, as to not waste his time nor another’s, McCree doesn’t commonly enter into serious relationships, sexual or otherwise. Not that such a thing is impossible to achieve, it just takes patience and dedication on both sides for it to work.
The Gunslinger and Keeping the Peace
Appropriately named the 'Peacekeeper', McCree will rarely have his trusty revolver out of arm's reach. However he will often leave it concealed on his person, as McCree is well-aware of the sort of company a 60 Million dollar bounty attracts.
McCree is understandably discreet with his identity, and will adopt a number of different aliases in order to throw those in pursuit off his trail. He is an excellent judgement of character because of this, and although he may deem someone untrustworthy right off the bat, McCree will not readily act on his suspicions until he believes the outcome will be in his favour.
The Gunslinger Reminisces
Despite the popular miscomprehension, McCree had very few friends that he managed to keep on amicable terms with as an agent of Blackwatch. His fiery, egotistical demeanour that had been nurtured in his days running with Deadlock was considered akin to Genji’s and so the pair often knocked heads over the most trivial of things.
However, Blackwatch and its stern Commander demanded that McCree mature quickly, and so his attitude towards the Shimada eventually mellowed out. However, their relationship never had the opportunity to recover thereafter for it was brought to a swift end following the Swiss base catastrophe.
McCree was not present at the event. Instead he respected his superior’s wishes to remain where he was when Reyes went to confront Morrison. Genji disagreed on this and attempted to persuade McCree into shadowing Reyes which only caused the gunslinger to fear for his Commander’s wellbeing. Admittedly, the two had come to an uneasy but solid agreement - ironically one of the first that they had shared - and they proceeded to follow Reyes but never succeeded in finding him.

–The Mun–
Mun is 21+, so NSFW material will be posted and tagged accordingly. I am willing to write smut, but only with Muns over the age of 18. I’m friendly and approachable (well I try) although I have a short attention span and may on occasion forget threads and/or reply to ask responses promptly. At times, I may respond to one specific thread at a time. I can’t help this, and I apologise. If the muse is strong for one thread over another, I will reply to said thread more regularly.
However! I will not readily drop threads unless I really don’t have the muse for them (and I will notify you if I have done so).
I suspect that this blog’s activity will fluctuate often, and the Mun has a tendency to leave unexpectedly for a few days. Don’t be alarmed by this, for I always return.
I do accept starters, and jumping into my ask to plot is always welcome unless I have declared that I am not accepting new threads (this will be written in my description or in a post). I am a selective roleplayer. It really depends on how responsive my muse is.
I do not write starters with the intention of McCree becoming involved with another muse. The exception to this rule is if McCree has already met your muse and we have plotted something that concerns the possibility of their relationship becoming something more. It truly depends on chemistry, and a relationship can not be forced as McCree is generally averted to the idea anyway.
–The Muse–
Please note that ic =/= ooc. I repeat: in-character opinions do not equal out-of-character opinions. I can not stress this enough, so please, do not be offended by how McCree reacts to your muse. I write my muse to how he would react to the situation. I will not tame him to suit you.
I will be using his multiple visages in different verses. For instance: Faceclaim!McCree for one verse will be completely separate to his actual!face one. This also applies to any ABO/Werwolf/Vampire etc AU-specific verses!
If you have any further queries, send me an ask and I’ll get back to you!! c:
