In Overwatch, the Turbo warrior is a bandit with an oxygen mask, and the melee butcher, the hero will distract enemies and absorb damage like a sponge. Mako Routledge, known by the nickname “Turboswine,” is strong on the line and turns everything into control.

Turboswine Weapons
The hero’s weapon is a metal thrower, a faithful and heavy instrument of destruction with two shooting modes.
In the main mode, jagged metal fragments fly out of the barrel, hitting everything at close range.
Another mode shoots a metal ball, which explodes after flying eight meters, scattering deadly fragments.
It takes 1.5 seconds to recharge, and there are 5 charges of 25 pieces of metal in the clip. The rate of fire is about one shot per second, and each fragment does up to six damage units. Despite its apparent simplicity, the Turboswine metal thrower is capable of deciding the outcome of skirmishes if used wisely and at the right distance.
Turboswine Abilities
“Respite” (E) — quick recovery of 300 points of health. The effect lasts only a second, but reduces the damage received by 50%. Recharge time is 8 seconds. Turboswine can be treated on the move, but not during an attack.
The “chain hook” (Shift) is the hero’s signature trick. The metal hook flies 22 meters, catches the enemy and pulls him almost close to the Turboswitch, dealing 30 damage. Small goals are drawn closer. If two Turboswitches throw a hook at the same time, the hooks collide and the target is not captured. When used on the contrary, the characters from different teams switch places.
Turbo Blame (Q) is an ultimate ability that turns a metal cannon into a barrage of fire. Shots knock down enemies at speeds of up to 10 meters per second and can cause tremendous damage — up to 4,200 units in 6 seconds of action.
Some heroes are partially protected from the hook, but in the right hands, the Turboswitch is still able to turn the tide of battle.
Strengths and weaknesses
The health reserve (600 units) is considered large for the game, the ability to recover without assistance, and weapons. Disadvantages are large dimensions and poor range. The turboswitch is a noticeable target, but if the enemy makes a mistake for even a fraction of a second, the hook will already cling to his armor.
Who is the Turboswitch especially dangerous against?
Kills easily on the way with heroes like:
-
Bastion, McCree, Angel, Lucio, Genji, Sombra, Taran and Winston.
With these characters, Turboswine feels confident, quickly closing the distance and dismantling them one by one.
How to play the Turboswine
Experienced players use Turboswine as a tank of the first line. The best way to survive is to act from behind cover, recover in time, and choose the moment to attack. The metal thrower is great for fighting groups of opponents, and the chain hook is great for quickly destroying single targets.
The Turbosvinity Ulta is the best in narrow corridors and at captured points — where the enemy has nowhere to run.
VPEsport recommends: Turboswine is a hero for those who like to play powerfully, aggressively and with a sense of steely superiority.
Who’s going to counter the Turboswine in Overwatch 2
In Overwatch 2, the Turboswine is a tank with vitality and cunning, but it is also “pushed to the wall.” There are heroes to confront him on the battlefield: The Reaper, D.Va , May, Zarya, Zenyatta and Ana.
The Reaper is a melee nightmare
The Reaper is one of the most dangerous enemies of the Turboswine. His infernal shotguns are almost as damaging as a metal cannon, and their rapid rate of fire makes every encounter deadly. The main advantage of the Reaper is the ability to restore health due to damage. The survival rate is high with a fighter capable of surviving even a protracted fight. In addition, it perfectly counteracts the Chain hook, preventing the Turboswitch from quickly shortening the distance.
D.Va — mobile armored vehicle
With her health reserve of 500 units and guns D.Va It can seriously damage the turbine. The moment when she uses “Self—Destruct” is especially dangerous – if the Turboswitch tries to pull her up with a hook at this moment, the consequences will be fatal. D.Va — it hits tanks hard, and the Turboswitch is no exception.
May is an icy threat
May rarely wins in open combat, but her endothermic blaster is able to immobilize a Turboswine, turning it into an easy target. In a raging situation, she builds an “Ice Wall”, blocking the hook or protecting her allies. At a critical moment, May is able to go into cryostasis, waiting out the attack until help arrives.
Zarya — armor and power
Zaria’s ray cannon quickly gains power as she takes damage through her barriers. A counterpicture against Turboswine. She can protect herself and her allies with shields while charging ulta. Strong and precise, Zarya literally turns the energy of the Turbine engine against itself.
Zenyatta — the Distant Destroyer
Turboswine will be unlikely to catch Zenyatta with a “Chain Hook”. The monk stays behind the team and fires Spheres of Destruction at the opponents. His Sphere of dissonance is especially dangerous — it increases the damage to the target, and in conjunction with his teammates, it allows you to quickly demolish even such a “thick-skinned” enemy as a Turboswitch.
Ana is a healer who turns healing into weakness
Ana’s biotic grenade completely blocks the restoration of Turboswine’s health — neither his “Respite” nor the help of his allies will work. And if you need to stop his onslaught, Ana accurately launches a soporific dart, plunging the Turboswine into sleep for 5.5 seconds. This is enough for the allies to deal with him without difficulty.
Result
Turboswine — with a second life, the hero of Overwatch 2 is chosen for the role of a tank. Abilities and a high reserve of health allow you to fight with most opponents on equal terms.
However, the Reaper, D.Va Mei, Zarya, Zenyatta and Ana remain the heroes who are able to effectively counter the Turboswine.
