overwatch – Can the Same Hero Get Hit by Two McCree High Noon Bullets in Overwatch?

overwatch

So Mercy, Roadhog and McCree walk into a saloon. And Roadhog is between both of them, and McCree goes all high-noon on them, but shoots without charging enough to one-shot roadhog.

Does McCree lock onto both? If so, when he shoots, and the first shot doesnt kill Roadhog, does Roadhog also get hit by the second? If not, what if Mercy just walked right behind Roadhog at the last second (after McCree starts firing but before its her turn to die, which I've seen happen with heros going behind walls just at the last second)?

Best Answer

Yes*

If you walk into the direct line of fire between McCree and one of his locked in targets, you will intercept the bullet meant for the person behind you.

McCree's Deadeye is a hitscan attack that charges at a rate of 170 damage per second.

In this video at 0:11, you can see a Roadhog with full lock (600+ damage) survive Deadeye because a Reinhardt walks in front.

While this does not directly prove the point, as Reinhardt gets one-shot by the 600 damage bullet meant for Roadhog, and only one bullet is fired, if Reinhardt had spent any more time in front of Roadhog, a second lock on would start for the Reinhardt, and both would hit him.

I'll back this up with a .gif showing this when I return from work.
