The Punisher is a playable hero in NetEase’s mega-successful Overwatch clone, Marvel Rivals. He is likely to be probably the most primary character within the sport and is among the first characters you play as within the tutorial. He’s additionally possibly my favourite hero to play as, and I’m sorry to everybody I’ve killed as Punisher. I’m so sorry.
Launched in December 2024, Marvel Rivals has shortly develop into an enormous hit due to it being free-to-play and starring an enormous roster of well-known Marvel characters. The hero-based shooter performs so much like a third-person Overwatch, however with much more destruction and chaos. And over the previous few weeks the character I’ve gravitated towards greater than anybody else is the Punisher, and I hate myself for that.
The Punisher’s package could be very primary. He has an assault rifle, a shotgun, a zipline software, a smoke bomb, and the power to put a turret, and his final is simply extra (and greater) weapons. He’s principally a Name of Obligation character dropped right into a world full of superheroes, gods, aliens, and monsters. The Punisher shouldn’t stand an opportunity. And but, he holds his personal. It seems having weapons with good harm and vary and the power to put a strong turret wherever you need is a lethal combo.
Considered one of my favourite methods with Punisher is to make use of my zipline to discover a good, out of the best way spot that I do know the enemy can be operating via quickly. I rise up there, pop my turret means and watch for the prey to reach. Even when the staff pushes, maybe making an attempt to cap some extent, I wait. I allow them to assume they’re secure. After which I unleash a barrage of bullets on them. I at all times give attention to the healers, too. That makes it tougher for the staff to outlive and combat again.
Assuming they don’t have a talented Hawkeye or Hela (enemies of Punisher who can snipe him), I normally get just a few kills earlier than I bail, smoke bomb, and escape. And if my ult costs earlier than I go away the world, I flip round, go behind the enemy staff, and kill all of them once more. Sure, I’m an asshole. I’m sorry. However I simply can’t assist it. I really like taking part in as this shitty gun man.
That’s to not say I don’t play anybody else. I really like Namor! I’m actually good with Black Widow, Venom, Captain America! And I play plenty of matches as healers Jeff the Landshark, Mantis, and Invisible Girl. But, I discover myself returning to Punisher every time I’m aggravated by some opposing Iron Man participant hovering round, or when my staff’s attackers aren’t doing something. In these moments, the Punisher turns into a siren, calling me again.
When it was introduced within the first patch notes that the Punisher’s weapons could be improved, I felt so soiled. The very last thing this dudebro asshole wants is a weapon buff. However I’ll gladly take it. As a result of generally when confronted with an issue, like shedding a match of Marvel Rivals, it’s good to have a useless easy however efficient choice to drag out of the software field. And that’s the Punisher. He’s my hammer and all of you’re nails. And I’m sorry. So sorry.
