• Pulse Pistols - dual wielding rapid-fire pistols. Ammo clip holds 40, each shot does around 1 to 6 points of damage depending on falloff.

• Pulse Bomb (Ultimate Ability) - a sticky bomb that emits a large pulse after a delay to all enemies within its blast radius for high damage. This can also hurt / kill Tracer so make sure to either blink or teleport out fast.

Daopa's Take on this character:
Use blink to teleport into areas and recall if there's a overwhelming force. Another blink strategy is using it to get behind enemies without them knowing. This is very effective against Bastion in turret mode. Also make sure you have recall up when you use the pulse bomb, drop the pulse bomb and then immediately recall back.
