Some speak of a black-robed terrorist known only as the Reaper. His identity and motives are a mystery. What is known is that where he appears, death follows.
PRIMARY FIRE
Short-range spread weapons. Dual shotguns alternating fire, each dealing 5.75-1.725 damage per pellet (20 pellets per shot, 115-34.5 total). 2 shots/s, 8 ammo, 1.5s reload. Hitscan with 10-20m falloff range. 230 DPS while firing.
PASSIVE
Health packs restore more health. Small Health Packs restore 150 HP (up from 75), Large Health Packs restore 325 HP (up from 250).
SECONDARY
Fire a volley with long-range accuracy from both Hellfire shotguns. Each pellet deals 3.45-1.035 damage (60% of base) with 25-35m falloff range. Fires both shotguns simultaneously (40 pellets total). 3 degree spread. Consumes 2 ammo. 6 second cooldown.
E
Teleport to a targeted location within 35 meters after a 1.15s cast time. Briefly invulnerable during teleport. Can be used while airborne. Cannot fire or use abilities while casting. 10 second cooldown.
SHIFT
Move 40% faster and become invulnerable for up to 3 seconds. Cannot shoot or use other abilities. Automatically reloads Hellfire Shotguns. Cleanses status effects. Can be cancelled early. 8 second cooldown.
ULTIMATE
Blur of motion dealing 185 damage per second to all nearby enemies within an 8 meter radius for 3 seconds. Locks onto all targets in line of sight. Channeled — interrupted by stuns or hacks. Restores ammo after completion. 2050 point cost.
EXTRA
Dealing damage heals Reaper for 25% of damage dealt. Counts all damage including quick melee and environmental kills. Does not generate ultimate charge.
PRIMARY
Twin short-range shotguns with wide spread. 5.75-1.725 damage per pellet (20 pellets per shot), 2 shots/s, 8 ammo, 1.5s reload. Hitscan with 10-20m falloff. 230 DPS while firing. Alternates between both shotguns with each shot.
Minor Perks
Death's Shadow
Shadow Step reloads Hellfire Shotguns and has 25% increased range.
Soul Reaving
Collect Soul Globes from dead enemies to restore 50 health. Globes last 8 seconds.
Lingering Wraith
Leaving Wraith Form grants 40% movement speed for 2 seconds.
Major Perks
Ravenous Wraith
Leaving Wraith Form grants 40% additional lifesteal for 3 seconds.
Shadow Blink
Shadow Step cast time is 25% faster (1.15s → 0.54s), cooldown reduced to 7.5s, but range reduced by 25% (35m → 23.2m). Invulnerability starts earlier at 0.14s.
Trigger Finger
Refresh Dire Triggers cooldown whenever using an ability or reloading.
Dire Triggers
Use (RMB) to fire a volley with long range accuracy from both Hellfire shotguns.
Moved from Perk to Baseline ability. Cooldown increased from 3 to 6 seconds.
Developer comment: Dire Triggers has been moved into Reaper's base kit to give him more consistent mid-range options on a cooldown. This change adds additional decision-making and skill expression to his gameplay.
Added. Using an ability or reloading refreshes Dire Triggers' cooldown.
No longer cleanses on use.
Lifesteal reduced from 30% to 25%.
Developer comment: Reaper's sustain from his passive leads to high survivability in close-range duels. A slight reduction in lifesteal maintains his durability while reducing his self-healing reliability in extended engagements.
Movement speed while active reduced from 50% to 40%.
Moved from Minor to Major Perk.
New Minor Perk. Leaving Wraith Form grants 40% movement speed for 2 seconds.
Removed.
New Minor Perk. Shadow Step's cast time and cooldown are 25% faster, but the range is reduced by 25%.
Removed.
Ultimate cost increased 9%.
Recovery reduced from 0.7 to 0.5 seconds.
Developer comment: We're aligning the recovery of Dire Triggers with Reaper's primary fire to improve the flow when alternating between the two.
Damage per pellet increased from 5.4 to 5.75 (108 to 115 per volley).
Developer comment: Part of the reason heroes like Reaper and Tracer had their damage reduced in the past was due to the shift to the 5v5 format—solo tanking and less frequent peeling made flanking heroes more effective—along with their strong performance on certain maps and game modes like Push and Flashpoint. This is now less of a concern with the introduction of map voting and hero bans, which help limit overperformance, so we're restoring some of their damage potency.
Recovery time reduced from 0.9 to 0.7 seconds.
Developer comment: The recovery time change will allow Reaper to weave primary fire shots between uses of Dire Trigger, reducing the friction of using this ability.
Collect Soul Globes from dead enemies to restore 50 health.
Use Secondary Fire to fire a volley with long range accuracy from both Hellfire Shotguns.
Shadow Step reloads Hellfire Shotguns and has 25% increased range.
Leaving Wraith Form grants 40% additional lifesteal for 3 seconds.
Lifesteal reduced from 35 to 30%.
Developer comment: The added survivability from this passive is being tuned down now that Reaper has 300 health and more reliable mobility after the cast time reduction to Shadow Step.
Cast time reduced from 1.5 to 1.2 seconds.
Weapon spread reduced from 6.5 to 6 degrees.
Developer comment: With the previous patch change to how armor reduces damage, shotgun weapon heroes like Reaper lost some value since much of their gameplan revolved around pressuring large tank heroes. To help shift Reaper toward being more effective against smaller targets we're tightening the weapon spread on the Hellfire Shotguns and reducing the amount of time enemies have to react to his Shadow Step teleport.
Damage per second increased from 170 to 185. Ultimate cost decreased by 12%.
Health increased from 250 to 300.
Can no longer be activated while affected by mobility-locking effects (Magnetic Grenade, Steel Trap, Graviton Surge, etc.).
Developer comment: The Reaper and Moira changes are addressing an inconsistency with the interaction of Wraith Form or Fade with mobility-locking effects such as Junkrat's Steel Trap, Sigma's Gravitic Flux, Zarya's Graviton Surge, and Cassidy's Magnetic Grenade. They are now disabled similarly to Tracer's Recall or Sombra's Translocator, which are abilities that also phase out and can move the player.
Ultimate cost reduced 8%.
Spread reduced from 8 to 7 degrees.
Damage per pellet reduced from 6 to 5.4. Spread increased from 6 to 8.
