SECONDARY
Hold to zoom in, increasing damage and accuracy but slowing rate of fire.
Minor Perks
Rapid Fire
Historical perk: Unscoped shots gain 30% increased attack speed, but deal 15% less damage.
Remote Detonator
After using Dynamite, pressing E again causes it to detonate after a 0.5 second delay.
Sidewinder
Historical perk: Coach Gun pushes Ashe and enemies 20% farther.
Double-Barreled
Knocking an enemy back with Coach Gun briefly allows it to be used again within 1 second with 25% reduced knockback.
Major Perks
Viper's Sting
Hitting 2 consecutive scoped shots on a target deals 25 extra damage over time and reloads 1 ammo.
Airburst
Dynamite has a 40% increased detonation radius (5m to 7m) while airborne and refunds 3 ammo when thrown.
New Minor Perk. Knocking an enemy back with Coach Gun briefly allows it to be used again with 25% reduced knockback.
Removed.
Ammo gained reduced from 2 to 1.
Secondary fire falloff range reduced from 40-60 meters to 35-55 meters.
Developer comment: The increased falloff range helped reinforce Ashe's role as a long-range hitscan, but it has made her damage output too consistent at far distances. Partially reverting this change reins in her long-range pressure while preserving this identity.
Secondary fire falloff range reduced from 40-60m to 35-55m.
Secondary fire falloff range rescaled from 30-50m to 40-60m.
Secondary Fire falloff range rescaled from 30–50 meters to 40–60 meters.
Developer comment: Increasing Ashe's falloff range allows her to perform more consistently at her intended mid- to long-range distances.
New Minor Perk. After using Dynamite, pressing E again causes it to detonate after a 0.5 second delay.
Removed.
Knockback increase for both Ashe and enemies reduced from 20% to 12%.
Primary fire damage penalty reduced from 15% to 10%.
New perk. Dynamite has a 40% increased detonation radius while airborne and refunds 3 ammo when thrown.
New perk. Hitting 2 consecutive scoped shots on a target deals 25 extra damage and reloads 2 ammo.
New perk. Coach Gun pushes Ashe and enemies 20% farther.
New perk. Unscoped shots gain 30% increased attack speed, but deal 15% less damage.
Can now be activated while mobility locked (e.g. Steel Trap) to knockback enemies without self-movement.
Hitscan radius large reduced from 0.08 to 0.07 meters (global projectile size rebalance).
Can now be activated while affected by mobility locking abilities but won't move Ashe.
Developer comment: There were some inconsistencies for when Coach Gun was disabled by mobility lock abilities. Now Ashe will be able to activate Coach Gun while mobility is locked out (such as Junkrat's Steel Trap) to knockback enemies but won't move herself.
Global projectile size update: Hitscan radius large reduced from 0.08 to 0.07 meters.
Primary fire damage reduced from 40 to 35.
B.O.B. now gains the Tank role passive ability.
Developer comment: This Big Omnic Butler tanks a lot of incoming fire and will now be more resistant to knockbacks and critical damage.
Knockdown time when two charging abilities collide reduced from 2 to 1.7 seconds.
Developer comment: This stun time reduction applies to the knockdown that happens when two charging abilities collide and result in a tie (with Reinhardt, Doomfist, Brigitte, Mauga, Bob). The counterplay and interaction of two charging abilities impacting each other is great, but it took both players out of the fight a little too long.
B.O.B.'s weapon damage increased from 14 to 17.
Health increased from 200 to 250.
Reload time decreased from .25 to .2 seconds.
Developer comment: Ashe has the longest total reload time of all heroes to balance out the advantage of being able to shoot after a partial reload. However, we are shortening it slightly to make the full reload from empty less punishing.
B.O.B. now prefers to shoot at enemy targets that Ashe damages with her rifle.
Developer comment: We want to enable Ashe and B.O.B. to easily assist one another more. B.O.B. now prioritizes targets damaged by Ashe's rifle, which may allow for more flexible Ultimate placement.
BOB base health reduced from 1200 to 1000.
