Strategy
As befits a gunslinger, McCree is the game`s best duelist. He is capable of killing almost anyone he gets up close to with blinding speed by stunning them with Flashbang and unloading his Peacekeeper into them. The accurate hitscan nature of his primary weapon also makes him suitable for fighting mobile targets like Genji Genji "Even if I sacrifice my body, I will never sacrifice my honor." Real Name Genji Shimada (島田源氏) 1] Other Names Sparrow Age 35 Nationality Japanese Occupation Adventurer Base Hanamura, Japan (formerly) Shambali Monastery, Nepal and Pharah Pharah "I will protect the innocent." Real Name Fareeha Amari Age 32 Nationality Egyptian Occupation Security Chief Base Giza, Egypt Affiliation Egyptian Army (formerly)Helix Security International Relations Ana Amari (mother) Voice Jen Cohn (English) Ethel at medium range. His damage falls off a cliff at longer ranges, and his low mobility means that he has to take conventional routes to get up close to his opponents, making it easy to outflank him and kill him before he has a chance to fire back.
Official tips
- McCree is a flexible hero with a highly accurate and powerful revolver.
- Use a Flashbang McCree "Justice ain t gonna dispense itself." Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger to stun enemies in front of him.
- Deadeye McCree "Justice ain t gonna dispense itself."

Weapons & Abilities
- Peacekeeper McCree "Justice ain t gonna dispense itself." Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger : McCree`s main weapon. The primary fire shoots a single, perfectly accurate bullet down the crosshairs. The secondary fire "fans" the Peacekeeper`s hammer, causing McCree to unload the remaining rounds in the Peacekeeper`s cylinder at lightning speed. The bullets from the secondary fire cannot headshot.
- The deadly accuracy of the primary fire is best used on targets at medium range. It`s also useful on particularly agile targets like Tracer who are difficult to hit with the secondary fire.
- The secondary fire is woefully inaccurate at anything past short range, but will kill anyone with 200 or less hit points in a single volley if all of the bullets hit. Use the secondary fire when close to an opponent to quickly deal massive damage to them before they can respond.
- Combat Roll McCree "Justice ain t gonna dispense itself." Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger : When activated, McCree rolls a short distance in the direction he`s currently moving. He also fully reloads his Peacekeeper during the roll.
- While Combat Roll does give McCree a small amount of mobility, it`s nothing compared to Tracer`s Tracer "Cheers, love! The cavalry s here!" Real Name Lena Oxton Age 26 Nationality English Occupation AdventurerPilot (Formerly)Overwatch Agent (Formerly) Base London, England Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Relations Emily (girlfriend) Voice Cara Theobold 1] 2] (English) Dorothee Blink Tracer "Cheers, love! The cavalry s here!" Real Name Lena Oxton Age 26 Nationality English Occupation AdventurerPilot (Formerly)Overwatch Agent (Formerly) Base London, England Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Relations Emily (girlfriend) Voice Cara Theobold 1] 2] (English) Dorothee . Combat Roll is best used as a quick way for McCree to reload his Peacekeeper than anything else. If you`re in danger, be that as it may, it`s best to use Combat Roll to get to cover instead of saving it for the reload.
- Flashbang McCree "Justice ain t gonna dispense itself." Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger : When activated, McCree hurls a small grenade forwards in an arc, which detonates after traveling a short distance. Enemies caught in the explosion are dealt a small amount of damage and briefly stunned.
- The main reason that McCree is such a good duelist. Use Flashbang to stun your opponent, then deal damage with Peacekeeper while they can`t respond.
- While Flashbang (and its explosion) is blocked by Reinhardt`s Reinhardt "Justice will be done." Real Name Reinhardt Wilhelm Age 61 Nationality German Occupation Adventurer Base Stuttgart, Germany Affiliation Crusaders (formerly) Overwatch (formerly) Voice Darin De Paul 1] (English) Patrice Mellenec (French) Paolo Mar.ese (Italian) Barrier Field Reinhardt "Justice will be done." Real Name Reinhardt Wilhelm Age 61 Nationality German Occupation Adventurer Base Stuttgart, Germany Affiliation Crusaders (formerly) Overwatch (formerly) Voice Darin De Paul 1] (English) Patrice Mellenec (French) Paolo Mar.ese (Italian) if thrown directly at the barrier, it can be thrown over top of the barrier to circumvent it and stun Reinhardt. Try to only fight Reinhardt if you have enough height to throw the Flashbang over top of his Barrier Field successfully.
- Deadeye McCree "Justice ain t gonna dispense itself." Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger (Ultimate): McCree`s Ultimate Ultimate abilities (Commonly referred to by players as Ults ) are powerful abilities only available to a hero once their Ultimate Meter has filled. Progress towards an Ultimate persists through death. The Ultimate Meter fills by ability. When activated, McCree enters a special targeting mode for a short duration, during which time he is dramatically slowed and cannot use his other abilities. Enemies are gradually highlighted with a red bullseye as long as they are within McCree`s vision. McCree can press the primary fire button at any point during this time to shoot a bullet at all highlighted targets, with the damage increasing the longer they were within McCree`s vision. This is a channeled Channeled abilities take place over a period of time. They may be activated by a single button click, or may require the player to hold down a button in order to keep channeling the ability. ability, and will immediately end if McCree is hit by a stun.
- The bullet fired by Deadeye will always hit a highlighted enemy, so long as they are within McCree`s vision when he presses the primary fire button.
- The red dot in the middle of the bullseye indicates how much damage Deadeye will do to that specific target. When the dot stops growing, that indicates that Deadeye will instantly kill the target, unless they are protected by a barrier, have bonus Health from an ability like Sound Barrier Lúcio "Come on, let s bring it together!" Real Name Lúcio Correia dos Santos Age 26 Nationality Brazilian Occupation DJ Freedom Fighter Base Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Affiliation None Voice Jonny Cruz 1] (English) Donald Reignoux , or are otherwise invulnerable.
- Enemies who were previously targeted but who have left McCree`s vision will have their bullseye turn grey. It will turn back to red when they are once more in his vision.
General Strategies
- McCree is a powerful anti-flanker and medium range damage dealer. Though it might be tempting to send him out on his own, he actually works best when staying near his team, as he can quickly kill annoying flankers like Genji Genji "Even if I sacrifice my body, I will never sacrifice my honor." Real Name Genji Shimada (島田源氏) 1] Other Names Sparrow Age 35 Nationality Japanese Occupation Adventurer Base Hanamura, Japan (formerly) Shambali Monastery, Nepal and deal significant damage to Tanks like Winston Winston "Imagination is the essence of discovery." Real Name Winston Age 29 Occupation Test subject (formerly)Scientist Adventurer Base Horizon Lunar Colony (formerly) Watchpoint: Gibraltar Affiliation Lucheng Interstellar (formerly) Overwatch Relations Harold Winston (father figure) Voice , keeping his own team safe. McCree`s low mobility makes him vulnerable to being picked off by enemies like Widowmaker Widowmaker "One shot, one kill." Real Name Amélie Lacroix Age 33 Nationality French Occupation Assassin Base Annecy, France Affiliation Talon Relations Gérard Lacroix (husband, deceased) Voice Chloe Hollings (English and French) Francesca Perilli (Italian)Shizuka Itô if he travels by himself, and most enemies will be able to hear him coming a mile away due to his loud footsteps.
- Stick to using the Peacekeeper`s primary fire at anything other than short range. Aim for headshots if your enemy is moving in a predictable way, as they deal a large amount of damage.
- Flashbang does interrupt some abilities or even ultimate, so it is encourage to use it against some ultimate like Reaper`s Death Blossom or Roadhog`s Whole Hog.
- It maybe a better choice to point a single headshot on a stunned target rather than using Fan the Hammer. You don`t have to reload after you attack with a single shot from primary fire. This technique is useful to save yourself from a failed Fan the Hammer combo, especially when the target is protected by Zarya`s Projected Barrier.
- Use Combat Roll to retreat and return fire rather than rolling to fight back. Even if you can fully reload without reloading animation, you will lose your only method of escape if you encounter a bad engagement.
- Minimize return fire by peeking around a corner when there is no friendly Barrier provided. With this, you can maintain your target point and potentially receive less damage from enemies.
- Try to gain some vertical height before using Deadeye, as this will let you get more vision of targets hiding behind cover. Be aware that McCree is extremely easy to kill while using Deadeye, so watch out for enemies like Widowmaker Widowmaker "One shot, one kill." Real Name Amélie Lacroix Age 33 Nationality French Occupation Assassin Base Annecy, France Affiliation Talon Relations Gérard Lacroix (husband, deceased) Voice Chloe Hollings (English and French) Francesca Perilli (Italian)Shizuka Itô or Soldier: 76 who can burst you down before you even have a chance of lining up your shots.
- Deadeye can be used in one of two ways: as a way of clearing out an area, or as a way of assassinating mobile priority targets. The "standard" combination of Mercy Mercy "I ll be watching over you." Real Name Angela Ziegler Age 37 Nationality Swiss Occupation Field Medic First Responder Base Zürich, Switzerland Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Voice Lucie Pohl (English) Sybille Tureau (French)Chiara Francese (Italian)Sayaka Ohara and Pharah Pharah "I will protect the innocent." Real Name Fareeha Amari Age 32 Nationality Egyptian Occupation Security Chief Base Giza, Egypt Affiliation Egyptian Army (formerly)Helix Security International Relations Ana Amari (mother) Voice Jen Cohn (English) Ethel flying through the air are especially vulnerable to being killed by Deadeye, as it takes little time for McCree to line up a killing shot for both of them.
- Another note with Deadeye is you need to use it unpredictably. It would be best to try and flank the enemy team and use it from behind, so they`ll have the idea that you`re in front, but instead you`re behind them, taking out multiple foes quickly. Note that Reinhardt`s Shield can block the Deadeye shots, but will deal tremendous damage to the shield instead.

Although he was initially cynical, he came to believe that he could make amends for his past sins by righting the injustices of the world. McCree appreciated the flexibility afforded to the clandestine Blackwatch, unhindered by bureaucracy and red tape. He was given instruction by Reyes.

When Morrison accused Reyes of breaching protocol, Reyes suggested that McCree was merely there "on vacation."
Vigilante
As Overwatch`s influence waned, rogue elements within Blackwatch sought to bring down the organization and turn it to their own ends. Wanting no part of the infighting, McCree set off alone and went underground. He resurfaced several years later as a gunslinger for hire. But while McCree`s talents were sought after by parties great and small, he fought only for causes he believed were just.

McCree caught a ride on a hypertrain Hypertrain Type Train Hypertrains are trans-continental trains that run across the United States. 1] They can travel from one coast to the next in eight hours, and travel at least as fast as 640 kph headed for Houston. Caught a ride, as in, sitting on top of the train as it barreled along, for, in his words, "they don`t sell folks like me a ticket." Nor did hypertrains make it easy for soldiers Talon Type Terrorist group Standing Active Talon is a terrorist organization.

Staying out of sight, he could tell that the operatives weren`t after him, but he was concerned. First, the operatives (or at least their method of insertion) were operating in a manner similar to Blackwatch. Secondly, if McCree`s face was spotted, he knew that he`d take the heat for whatever was about to go down. Making a decision, McCree vaulted into a train car and quickly dispatched a number of the operatives. He told the stunned passengers to stay in their seats, and that things would be over shortly.
Moving on, McCree saved one of the train staff from being executed, as he didn`t know a set of codes. Apparently the soldiers were after something at the back of the train, so McCree headed that way. He dispatched the enemy soldiers there, but only after hearing one of their number call for backup. Reaching the device at the back, he tossed it off the train, content that the operatives would go after it and leave the train itself alone. His face now out in the open, McCree settled down to enjoy the ride, only to learn via a news report that the robbery had indeed been laid on him, and from a steward, learnt that the train would arrive in Houston in three minutes. He asked that the truth of what happened be relayed to the police, and that the arrival time be "fudged," in order to give him time to make his exit.
Noodle Shootout
McCree made an appearance as a vigilante, thwarting a robbery attempt of a ramen shop. The media mainly focused on his "anachronistic fashion sense," though pundit Joel Marricone Joel Marricone is, in his own words, a "guest blogger, coffee drinker, white hat wearer, and pundit for hire." He wrote an article on a robbery attempt foiled by a stranger. He wanted to know espoused the belief that McCree`s vigilantism should be welcomed, given the high crime rate in the area.
