Anthem Players Can Have Multiple Freelancers Per Account
When BioWare's Anthem launches next year, player-characters won't be locked into single classes thanks to the ability to switch between different Javelins (exo-suits), each of which fills a traditional RPG class. But that doesn't mean each player will be restricted to having a single character.
In a tweet yesterday, Anthem Executive Producer Mark Darrah confirmed that players will be allowed to have multiple pilots, known as "Freelancers," on the same account. Darrah later confirmed that there will likely be a limit to how many additional Freelancers each player can have, but he doesn't know what that limit will be.

Death Stranding Is Already Inspiring Hilarious Phone Game Rip-Offs

Overwatch Patch Overhauls Symmetra
Overwatch’s latest patch has dramatically overhauled how support character Symmetra works, as well as added new social features that allows players to “endorse” others and seek out players of specific roles.
Symmetra’s photon projector no longer locks onto enemies, instead emitting in a straight beam, similar to Zarya’s primary weapon. Damage takes one second longer to ramp up, but its range is increased by 10 meters.
Symmetra’s secondary fire, those large orbs of energy, has also been retooled. Instead of phasing through enemies, they now explode on impact, damaging enemy teammates standing nearby.
