How to beat Colt

  • Play around walls. Cover breaks his line shots and lets you advance safely.
  • Close the distance with tanks or dashers. Up close, his low health gives out fast.
  • Strafe in a zig-zag. His damage relies on landing the whole burst, so moving cuts it hard.

Common mistake: Standing in an open lane trading long-range shots with Colt is a fight you will usually lose.

Game plan

Colt is a long-range sharpshooter. Each attack fires six bullets in a straight line, and the full burst only lands if the target walks into it, so his damage depends almost entirely on aim. His Super shreds walls, which turns closed maps into open ones.

  1. Aim where the enemy is going, not where they are. Lead targets moving sideways and fire point-blank at anyone running straight at you.
  2. Spend your Super on the cover the enemy relies on. In Bounty and Heist, opening one key wall early can decide the lane for the rest of the match.
  3. Fight from behind your own cover and step out only to shoot. Colt has low health, so every trade in the open is one you can lose.

Drafting Colt

When to pick
Pick Colt late, once the enemy lineup is visible. He punishes slow, squishy brawlers on open maps and struggles when a tank or dasher can reach him.
Who to pair with
Pair him with a brawler that keeps divers off him, like a tank or anyone with knockback or slow, so he can stay at max range.
Ban or not
Rarely worth a ban. Ban the tank or assassin that would shut him down instead.
