Power selection

• Bingo!: This power rewards players who are accurate with the Frag Launcher to get a reduction in ability cooldowns by 25% per Direct Hit without bounding. This enables them to get close to their opponents by expending abilities. These direct hits help get back the abilities almost instantly, especially when dealing with squishies.
• Bango!: Players who are accurate with Junkrat will now be rewarded with the application of status effects. Direct Hits will Burn enemies for 20% additional damage over a total of two seconds. This allows one to further focus on using their cooldowns to close the distance and land direct hits.
• Rip Roll: Junkrat in Overwatch 2 Stadium gets a 20% decrease in Ultimate cost thanks to this power. Furthermore, this allows him to launch out of his RIP Tire, enabling him to not only deal a ton of damage but also relocate safely. This provides a respite, as players can keep Junkrat safe when controlling his RIP Tire.
• Big Bang: If the Frag Launcher does not hit directly, the projectile size will increase by 33%, increasing the chances of damaging opponents. Since this build focuses on weapon damage, the power-up ensures that even non-direct hits are buffed in some sort of way.

• Zip Grease: This crucial item adds 25 additional health while granting 5% extra weapon power.
