Tracer joins overwatch 2 weapon items

As Tracer joins Overwatch 2, he has several weapon focused items that enhance her iconic pulse pistols:

Pulse Detector (rare): +10% weapon power, +10% max ammo, and reveals the last enemy hit by pulse pistols for one second.
Underworld Quickloader (epic): +10% weapon power, +10% attack speed, and pulse pistol hits grant +1% reload speed, stacking up to 30 times before resetting on reload.

Tracer ability items

Drag Reducers (rare): +10% ability power and doubles Pulse Bomb throw distance.
Chronobomb (epic): +15% ability power, +50% Pulse Bomb explosion radius, slows enemies by 30%, and reduces their attack speed by 30% for two seconds.

Chronobomb in particular makes her ultimate deadly against tanks and grouped enemies, creating powerful zoning opportunities.

Tracer survival items

Tracer’s survival items expand her recall and blink mechanics, making her even harder to pin down:

Emily’s Affection (rare): +19 health and grants 50 overhealth for 5 seconds after recall.
Iggy’s Ignition (rare): +5% attack speed, +5% move speed, and blink while airborne gives an air jump.
Oxton Overdrive (epic): +19 health and restores two blink charges when using recall.
Slipstream Salve (epic): +19 health and recall always restores at least 70% of life.
Custom Kicks (epic): +38 health and blink grants allies within 6 meters +10% move speed for 1 second.

These perks ensure Tracer stays mobile while providing minor utility for her teammates.

Tracer powers

Get Stuffed: Quick melee hits grant +5% ultimate charge.
Blink of an Eye: Critical hits reduce blink cooldown by 0.5 seconds.
Quantum Clip: Blink during reload grants +25 max ammo and +10% weapon lifesteal until the next reload.
Alternate Ending: Recall heals allies within 6 meters for 75% of recent damage taken.

Team Racer: Blink teleports 3 meters farther and grants +10% move speed for 1 second.

Foresight: After blink, the next 6 shots auto aim within 10 meters.
Time Lapse: Two consecutive hits on the same target without missing apply 1 damage over 2 seconds.
