Playstyle

HK-206 is a slow, tanky long-range shooter that excels at dealing single-target damage from fortified positions.

• HK has higher armor than most other heroes along with shields and damage reduction available through upgrades, making him very good at trading damage with opponents.
• HK's fortify skill locks him in place, so using it carelessly can lead to a death, however in the right position he can be very hard to kill.

Great aim and mastering where and when to fortify are both highly rewarded when playing HK-206.

Notes

• While unfortified, hitting enemies with LMB at melee distance requires you to line up HK's right gun with the enemy, which is offset a great distance from his main body.
• Fortify is great at mitigating damage, and allows HK to trade damage with enemies super efficiently.
• Make sure to regenerate your stamina to full before fortifying in order to be able to make a quick escape.
• Try to fortify in places where the enemy has to attack you head on, and can't attack from your side or rear easily.
• HK's focus can miss targets that are moving too quickly, so try to use it against targets that can't get away or hide behind cover.
• Being hit by cc while unfortifying can cause a desync, where it will play the unfortify animation but you will still be fortified.
• Against teams with heavy cc, especially with Wu, you must play much more patiently and wait for deadly engages to be used before fortifying.
