Tips for new Junkrats from my personal experiences over the years as my favorite dps.
Junkrat Tips
- Always have your trap active around the maps in areas enemies may possibly roam/flank you or your team.
- OW1 skins hide traps Better than OW2 Skins.
- Wait/Bait out Genji’s reflect, D.va’s defense matrix, and Zarya’s bubble: Trap them and do as Much damage as you can before their cool down ends.
- Practice your triple bomb, if you master or become decent with it, you’ll become a Skyrat/Flyingrat and have access to high places and some blind/choke points that others barely inspect. Find some spots in a private custom game.
- Your Ult can take out Every Character with 100% health except for D.va (her mech explodes), Rien (barely lives), Orissa (Fortify) and Ram (Blocking, unless you get the tire behind his back).
- Junkrat has the ability to Almost solo most of the cast upon all hits being direct without his Ult.
- Always try to have 1 Bomb in your inventory for an easy escape IF you feel the need for it.
- Abuse Junkrats passive ability as situational as you can; Upon death he’ll drop some ‘nades that does some damage.
- Don’t always stay in one spot and hold down your trigger – mix up your bombs or fake out your bombing positioning, tricking your enemies where they think you might be at, then you get them by surprise.
- Try your best to predict where your shots will land, knowing how far/low and where they;ll bounce will help.
- Learn how to climb walls, jump gaps and juke attacks with Rip-Tire (Ult).
- You will encounter other Junkrat mains. See what they do, take the matches with said enemy or friendly Junkrat’s and learn from them.
- Pick your battles well.
