12. Objectives For Hero Missions

Though very little has been revealed beyond a few names and only one of the missions highlighted in detail, there's a lot that can be gleaned from these and the visuals that came with them.

"Gather and Return" was one of the main missions, with a mechanic around gathering canisters that would harm the population and returning them to a central location.

Similar to the Left4Dead "Scavenge" campaign, with markers that resemble Overwatch's own Capture The Flag, this mission requires players to split up and gather canisters without running down the clock, while also dealing with the threats of spawning enemies - specifically Null Sector robots in the preview.

The other missions were only named with brief videos of what they seemed to be about. "Wall of Death" was one, presenting a large moving purple wall that appears to cause damage as enemies spawn around you. Another mission is entitled Kill Quest, which may or may not be related to a brief video clip in which the words "RUN! ESCAPE!" flash above the screen as the player is surrounded by deadly gas.

There are clearly more objectives than those mentioned in the presentation, which will make each Hero Mission much more exciting.
