Arguably, no character in Overwatch heralds death more than Reaper. The masked terrorist walks onto the Overwatch battlefield with mysterious intentions and a pair of twin shotguns. And just when his opponents think they have him, he slithers into the shadows.

This six-minute video for Reaper shows just what kind of pain the dark warrior is capable of inflicting. While Reaper can cause great damage with his shotguns, he can also disappear just as quickly with his Wraith Form and Shadow Step abilities. Watch as he skillfully picks off his targets in the Point Capture map known as the Temple of Anubis.

The Overwatch beta is in line to start later this year. Those interested can sign up on Battle.net.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
