Does Mercy have a gun?

The answer is yes, Mercy, one of the most iconic heroines in Overwatch, possesses a firearm, specifically known as Caduceus Blaster, which is also her staff. In the game, this blaster is the primary source of her close-range damage dealing. Since its introduction in the initial game release in 2016, Caduceus Blaster has undergone various changes, some of which we will cover in this article.

History and Updates

To understand how Caduceus Blaster has evolved, let us take a journey through Mercy’s history:

• In the initial Overwatch release (2016), Mercy’s Caduceus Blaster had a maximum rate of fire of 5 shots per second, dealt 20 damage per shot, and had zero damage fall-off (meaning each shot dealt equal damage at all distances).

Tactics and Counterplay

Given its mechanics, it’s essential to understand the strategies and counters associated with Caduceus Blaster:

Bullet Points: Strategies and Counterplay

• General: Caduceus Blaster is useful for cleaning up enemy remnants, supporting teammates, or taking care of isolated threats.
• Specific uses:
  • Take out grouped enemies (as the higher rate of fire allows you to quickly blast multiple foes).
  • Focus fire on high-health targets.
  • Pick off injured heroes or stunned enemies for a quick end.
  • Support fellow heroes during fights, with the help of your secondary fire function.

Current Mechanics (OWL and Other Modes)

Caduceus Blaster has experienced some modifications, affecting the way we use it. Here’s an overview:

• In the current release (June 2023), Caduceus Blaster still fires at the same 5 shots per second rate but, integrated with a secondary firing mechanism, offers more control over damage. This additional fire mode enhances the tactical aspects of gunplay by enabling you to choose your strategy:
  • Use primary fire (5 shots per second, 20 damage per shot) for broad sweeps or rapid single-shot fire, or shift to secondary mode (5 shots per 0.7 seconds with an initial 12-second firing interval, plus a temporary stun effect (0.8 seconds with 16.4/16.6 damage)), which combines more controlled shot placement and crowd control aspects.

Is Caduceus Blaster the Best, or Close Enough?

Since the rise of new damage-dealing heroes and skillful opponent teams, an age-old debate has sprung up within the Overwatch community: "Is Mercy’s gun (Caduceus Blaster) any good or useful?"
Here, we’ll put this under the microscope for you:
• DP (damage per second): Currently, Mercy’s secondary fire at 2.14 per second trails slightly behind competitors like Tracer (0.53/0.54 at close range to 4.12), Reaper, or Widowmaker. Conversely, initial primary firing rate from Mercy falls slightly behind Zenyatta, with values ranging between 2-4/5 (DPS comparison varies between scenarios).

Who Does She Compare With?

A well-known issue within the Mercy community remains: " Is it fair to use Mercy"

For you, consider this comparison. Here is how Mercy rates against:

• Reaper, whose dual-machine guns give 3/4 for every second on average or a single-shotted gun firing 50/57/62 RPM.
  • Primary comparison: You’re dealing almost the same (2,14 second – Reaper machine gun)

For an efficient and skillful use:

• Compare Mercy to Zen-, firing 1500 RPM bursts (10-second duration bursts) @ 5 and 16 for primary DPS.
  In that scenario Mercy would fire, 100 RPM burst after 13-14 FPS, to give a small difference within seconds, but**, we’re 10th. This helps to improve damage per target.
  Please Note that numbers may adjust for new damage, 15 seconds left in play after a time. But at 22.10 in play from 26 minutes in for 27.
