Baptiste heals 60 HP per shot with his secondary fire, which lobs healing grenades.
Baptiste, a combat medic in Overwatch, wields the Biotic Launcher, a versatile weapon that serves both offensive and supportive roles. While its primary fire delivers damage, its secondary fire is dedicated to healing allies.
Baptiste's Healing Capabilities
His healing mechanism is unique in that it involves lobbing grenades. These healing grenades do not require direct hits on allies; instead, they provide area-of-effect (AoE) healing upon impact. This means that a single healing grenade can restore health to multiple allies if they are caught within its splash radius, making him an effective healer for grouped teammates.
- Healing Amount: Each healing grenade restores 60 health points.
- Healing Mechanism: AoE splash healing, affecting all allies within the grenade's radius.
- Fire Mode: Secondary fire of the Biotic Launcher.
Biotic Launcher: Damage vs. Healing
It's important to distinguish between Baptiste's primary and secondary fire modes, as they serve different purposes:
Primary Fire (Damage)
Baptiste's primary fire acts as a three-round burst assault rifle, dealing direct damage to enemies. Each shot consists of three individual bullets.
- Bullet Damage: Each individual bullet deals between 12 and 24 damage.
- Shot Damage: A full three-round burst (one shot) deals between 36 and 72 points of damage.
- Critical Hits: The projectiles are capable of inflicting headshots, which amplify the damage output.
Secondary Fire (Healing)
As detailed above, the secondary fire launches healing grenades designed exclusively for restoring allied health.
Here's a quick overview of Baptiste's Biotic Launcher capabilities:
| Aspect | Primary Fire (Damage) | Secondary Fire (Healing) |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Three-round burst assault rifle | Healing grenade launcher |
| Effect | Deals damage to enemies | Restores health to allies |
| Per Shot | 36-72 damage (3 bullets, 12-24 per bullet) | 60 HP healing |
| Special | Can inflict headshots | Area-of-effect (AoE) splash healing to multiple allies |
