Barricade is very underrated

Im diamond and have been maining heavy for a while. Never liked playing with nuked so I’ve been exclusively using charge and slam, Lewis, barricade, dome shield, and rpg and it is fantastic. I usually have between 30 and 40 kills per ranked game.

Defensively, throwing dome shield when getting shot at and dropping 2 barricades is great and makes it impossible for people to push you as you have an instant head glitch. If they manage to get to you, they will hide behind your barricade and you can charge and slam through them and get a free kill.

Offensively, I engage with the rpg and then I’ll just keep the barricade in my hand and drop it as soon as the enemy shoots at me, giving me instant cover and head glitch.

They are also great at holding cash outs, and my teammate always drops an APS on it making it almost impossible to destroy. You can also rez teammates behind it or just hide if you’re trying to survive.

Also shout out to charge and slam to stop steals.

Overall, if you’re struggling to find a play style that fits you, you should give it a try as it is quite different and very, very strong.
