Every hero in Overwatch has a weapon. All weapons have a primary fire, but some weapons also possess a secondary fire. Most weapons consume ammo and have a magazine size, which if emptied, requires the hero to reload. Some heroes have multiple weapons, which can be switched using 1 and 2. Some heroes have transformation abilities that give them new weapons.
All weapons are fully automatic, except Ashe's The Viper, Hanzo's Storm Bow, and Widowmaker's Widow's Kiss when aiming down sights.
Golden variations of weapons can be purchased using 3000 competitive points that are earned via Competitive Play.
Melee
- Main article: Melee
Melee weapons are short ranged but have no ammo or reload time. Melee weapons pierce barriers and enemies. Heroes with melee weapons equipped are incapable of using quick melee. Melee weapons cannot headshot.
Some melee weapons have knock-back like quick melee, while others do not.
- Melee weapons with knock-back
- Melee weapons without knock-back
Ranged
A vast majority of the weapons in the game are ranged. Although the effect distance is potentially infinite, the effectiveness of a weapon can be limited by damage falloff, bullet spread, or projectile travel speed. Ranged weapons can headshot, unless the weapon's projectile explodes upon impact.
Hitscan
Hitscan weapons have no travel time on their shots, meaning that their effects take place immediately when the weapon is fired. Hitscan weapons are subjects to damage falloff, meaning that they'll do less damage at longer distance. The damage at max range is typically 50%; however, Tracer, Sombra, and heroes with shotguns, who are designed to fight close range, have their damage reduced to 30% at maximum range. Widowmaker and Ana do not have falloff damage for their scoped shots.
Some hitscan weapons are pinpoint, meaning perfect precision, while others have a spread.

Projectiles
Unlike hitscan weapon, projectile weapons have a travel time on their shots, making it slightly more difficult to score successful hits. To balance that, projectiles have larger hitboxes.
Projectile weapons do not have falloff damage, except shotguns. Some projectiles travel in an arc rather than a straight line.

Shotguns
Shotguns are weapons that fire a large amount of pellets over a large spread and can be either hitscan or projectile. They are designed to deal immense amounts of damage at close range and experience severe damage falloff, with the range typically being 10 to 20 meters, or 15 to 30 meters. At maximum range, shotgun weapons do only 30% of their original damage. Due to the spread, shotguns are less effective against enemies with small hitboxes or enemies at long range.

- Doomfist: Hand Cannon
- Roadhog: Scrap Gun (primary fire and alternate fire, after detonation)
- Torbjörn: Rivet Gun (alternate fire)
Explosions
Some weapons fire projectiles that explode upon impact and deal splash damage to enemies in range. This explosion also typically contains a knock-back effect, with the exception of Symmetra's Photon Projector. Explosive weapons cannot headshot.
Some explosive weapons have self-damage, while others do not.
- Explosive weapons with self-damage
- Bastion: Configuration: Tank
- Pharah: Rocket Launcher
- Sigma: Hyperspheres
- Zarya: Particle Cannon (alternate fire)
- Explosive weapons without self-damage
- Junkrat: Frag Launcher
- Symmetra: Photon Projector (alternate fire)
Beams
Some weapons are channeled instead of fired and emit a beam. Beams ignore Defense Matrix, Deflect, and Kinetic Grasp. Beams cannot headshot. Armor reduces their damage by 20%.
Some beams are hitscan-like, meaning they act immediately, while others are projectile-like, meaning there's travel time.
