Widowmaker equips herself with whatever it takes to eliminate her targets, including mines that dispense poisonous gas, a visor that grants her squad infra-sight , and a powerful sniper rifle that can fire in fully-automatic mode.
Widowmaker is the perfect assassin: a patient, ruthlessly efficient killer who shows neither emotion nor remorse.
It is believed that in her former life, Widowmaker was married to Gérard Lacroix , an Overwatch agent spearheading operations against the Talon terrorist organization. After several unsuccessful attempts to eliminate Gérard, Talon decided to change its focus to his wife, Amélie. Talon operatives kidnapped her and subjected her to an intense program of neural reconditioning. They broke her will, suppressed her personality, and reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent. She was eventually found by Overwatch agents, apparently none the worse for wear, and returned to her normal life.
Two weeks later she killed Gérard in his sleep.
Her mission complete, Amélie returned to Talon, and they completed the process of turning her into a living weapon. She was given extensive training in the covert arts, and then her physiology was altered, drastically slowing her heart, which turned her skin cold and blue and numbed her ability to experience human emotion. Amélie was gone.
Now, Widowmaker is Talon's most effective assassin, feeling little save the satisfaction of a job well done.
Widowmaker’s recon visor allows her to see the heat signatures of her targets through walls and objects for a moderate amount of time. This enhanced vision is shared with her allies.
Besides these abilities, Widowmaker is able to jump, crouch, reload (only when her ammo is not full), and perform Quick Melee .
One purchase of an alternate weapon skin will apply to the Widow's Kiss of all unlocked skins when equipping it.
Kill 4 enemies using Widowmaker's Venom Mine during a single quick or competitive play game. Reward: Pixel Spray
Kill an enemy with a Scoped Headshot while airborne as Widowmaker in quick or competitive play. Reward: Cute Spray
Amélie Lacroix, pre-brainwashing, on her wedding day with Gérard .
Amélie Guillard had been a successful ballerina [2] , and a member of the once-influential Guillard family. After marrying Gérard Lacroix , who was an agent of Overwatch leading operations against Talon , she adopted his surname. In an attempt to kill Gérard, Talon kidnapped her and submitted her to neural reconditioning and torture to turn her into a sleeper agent. Overwatch later rescued her, but after two weeks she killed Gérard in his sleep and returned to Talon. The neural reconditioning had finished, turning her emotionless, and she was trained in covert arts. Her heart rate was lowered to give her steadier aim, which turned her skin blue. Despite this, Overwatch still believes that Talon killed her husband and kidnapped her again.
Now under the name of Widowmaker, she later clashed with Overwatch agents while they were attempting to rescue hostages, successfully killing several before she sighted Captain Ana Amari . The two tried to attack one another, and Ana was successful in shooting off Widowmaker's visor to reveal Amélie Lacroix's face. The sight made Ana hesitate. giving Widowmaker enough time to seemingly fatally shoot Ana Amari through her right eye. [5]
She had been an active assassin for Talon through all the years. Recently, Widowmaker was sent to assassinate Tekhartha Mondatta at his speech in King's Row . Though Tracer tried to stop her, Widowmaker successfully made a fatal shot and eliminated Mondatta. She then defeated Tracer, incapacitated her by damaging her chronal accelerator, and escaped. [6] Later, Widowmaker worked with Reaper in an attempt to steal Doomfist's gauntlet from a museum. They were thwarted by Winston and Tracer; though both escaped intact, the gauntlet was badly damaged, and the two lost the upper hand. [7]
Widowmaker yet again worked with Reaper alongside a hacker named Sombra in an attempt to assassinate Katya Volskaya . While the Talon agent was in position and ready to kill, an unsuspecting alarm went off, thus ruining her chance of a perfect shot. Widowmaker, while surprised and annoyed by this, was then told to hold the perimeter by Reaper as he and Sombra would try to eliminate the CEO themselves. After learning that the mission failed and Katya had escaped, Widowmaker went back to the ship. [8]
During the holidays, Widowmaker was seen visiting Gérard's grave. [9]
After Doomfist was freed from his prison by Reaper, he rendezvoused with Widowmaker at a casino in Monaco. He complimented her for her assassination of Mondatta. Sombra, who was on the same channel, told Doomfist to ask her about her failure to assassinate Volskaya, but Doomfist shut down the conversation. Doomfist met with Maximilien at a game table; Widowmaker partook in the game while they discussed matters pertaining to Talon. She won quite a few chips, but the game was interrupted by Talon agents sent by Vialli to assassinate Doomfist. The pair fought them off and departed, headed for Venice. There, Widowmaker, Reaper, and Sombra eliminated Talon agents loyal to Vialli, while Doomfist killed Vialli himself. [10]
Widowmaker is a relatively young woman with a curvaceous body, who has purple-blue skin, yellow eyes, and extremely long dark blue or black hair which she wears in a ponytail that reaches past her hips. She wears a headpiece resembling a spiders face, a purple and silver body suit with a deep v-cut, and knee-high boots. She has an arm piece on her left arm that shoots venom mines. Widowmaker has two tattoos, one on her back resembling a spider, and one on her left arm which reads, “araignée du soir, cauchemar”.
Due to her brainwashing, Widowmaker has a malevolent disposition and is very detached from her sentiment. She shows no mercy for her targets no matter who they are and has a love for killing, claiming that it makes her feel alive. She also seems to possess vanity when it comes to her skills and looks.
However, it is implied that Widowmaker isn't completely emotionless, as there are bits and pieces of evidence which indicate that her former self is still there somewhere. An example is when she's resurrected by Mercy in-game, she'll sometimes call out for her husband, or lament the fact that she's still alive. She also visited her husband's grave silently around Christmas, implying that she still possesses emotion to some extent, or that the brainwashing is starting to crack.
"A single death can change everything."
"'Step into my parlor,' said the spider to the fly."
"The performance is about to begin."
"Your emotions make you vulnerable."

Widowmaker is a playable character appearing in the 2016 video game Overwatch , developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment . The character is of French origin; her real name is Amélie Lacroix ( née Guillard). [3]
Widowmaker was first introduced at BlizzCon 2014, where her character was first noted to be a sniper and lightly armored assassin. [4] She is based on one of the classes for Crossroads , an idea tossed around by the former Titan team before they settled on working on Overwatch . [5]
Widowmaker was noted to be equipped with a grappling hook and the ability to see through walls. [4] In November 2015, a patch was implemented to tone down Widowmaker's ultimate ability—"Infra-Sight"—as Blizzard continued its goal to keep the characters on Overwatch' s roster balanced. [6] The patch made it so that the player would not be able to have Widowmaker's ultimate charge up while Infra-Sight was active. [6]
Her character is voiced by Chloé Hollings in the game's English and French versions. [1] Some of her dialogue in the game's English version is spoken in French. [7] Widowmaker is noted to have blue skin due to covert training in which her physiology altered to slow her heart, effectively turning her skin the color seen in-game. A "Noire" skin for the character was included on pre-ordered versions of the game. [8]
Widowmaker's role in Overwatch is on defense. [9] Her defensive nature is reflected in her sniper classification, allowing her to be well utilized from a distance; [10] VG247 called her a "classic sniper." [9] Widowmaker comes equipped with the "Widow's Kiss": a rifle with two modes. [9] Firing without aiming causes the rifle to function as close-to-medium assault rifle which is stronger than her scope. Aiming through her scope triggers the weapon to function as a long-range sniper rifle, that can eliminate many other characters with a critical hit. [11] She also comes equipped with her Grappling Hook ability, allowing her to readjust her position and reach heights that other characters cannot. [9] [12] In addition, her "Venom Mine" is a small explosive that sticks to a surface and releases toxic gas when enemies wander into its area. While the poison is active, Widowmaker can see the affected enemy through obstacles, similar to her ultimate. Finally, her ultimate ability, Infra-Sight, allows Widowmaker and her teammates to see through obstacles to locate enemies. [9] Her ultimate ability is able to be used to counter enemy flankers. [12]
Widowmaker's fictional biography details her real name: Amélie Lacroix (born Amélie Guillard), age: 33, and base of operations: Annecy , France . [13] In Overwatch lore, her former life included her marriage to Gérard Lacroix, an Overwatch agent leading operations against Talon, a terrorist organization, and her former occupation as a ballerina . Talon opted to kidnap Amélie after several failed attempts to kill Gérard. After kidnapping Amélie, Talon subjected her to an intensive neural reconditioning program, breaking her will and reprogramming her as a sleeper agent for Talon. Sometime after this, she was found by Overwatch agents, seemingly unaffected by Talon's methods. Two weeks after returning to her normal life, she killed Gérard in his sleep, and returned to Talon, where she was fully converted into one of their agents. The extensive training she underwent caused her physiology to change, dramatically slowing her heart, lowering the temperature of her skin, and turning her skin a blue color. [13] Now, her character is noted to be numb to human emotion. [13]
Widowmaker appears in Alive , the second in an eight-part series of Overwatch animated shorts . [14] The short is set in London's King's Row, which also the setting for a map in the game. [15] Widowmaker's in-game abilities are also featured in the short. [16] In the short, Widowmaker is featured on a rooftop plotting to assassinate Tekhartha Mondatta, the head of the Shambali, an in-universe group of omnics formed to bring peace between omnics and humans. She is confronted by former Overwatch agent Tracer , who engages in a rooftop battle with her; however, Tracer is unsuccessful in her attempts to foil Widowmaker. In addition to successfully assassinating Mondatta, Widowmaker also damages Tracer's chronal accelerator, which allows Tracer to maintain her physical form in the present time. [14] [15]
In Heroes of the Storm , there is a Widowmaker skin for the playable character Nova , and vice versa – in Overwatch, there is a Nova skin for the playable character Widowmaker. [17] [18]
The character has received positive critical reception; she was labeled a "classic sniper character" and "great defensive hero" by VG247 in their Overwatch hero guide, noting that she "works best in wide-open maps with long corridors". [9] Matt Whittaker of Hardcore Gamer wrote that "the traditional sniper hero of the bunch, Widowmaker is a particularly lethal character for those with solid keyboard and mouse skill, or those who are particularly great at sniping with a controller," but did not recommend her for players whom don't have a precise aim. [12] This sentiment was echoed by Kevin Thielenhaus of Gameranx , who noted that "[Widowmaker] requires skill, but even if you're new to online competitive FPS, she's powerful enough to help any team." [19] Additionally she was the most selected defensive-class character during Overwatch ' s beta period. [20]
Dean James of Attack of the Fanboy found Widowmaker to be one of the strongest characters in the game, [21] Widowmaker has also been noted to be one of the most popular Overwatch characters; she was the most selected defense-class hero in the game during its open beta. [22] Matt Kim of Inverse labelled Widowmaker as a "fan favorite" character. [23] Her popularity with fans has led to Ben Bertoli of Kotaku calling her one of the most overused heroes. [24] In a "Clueless Gamer" segment of Conan featuring Game of Thrones actors Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey , Overwatch was played, with Dinklage, Headey, and host Conan O'Brien all choosing Widowmaker. [25] Her prevalence was also noted by Paul Tamburro of CraveOnline , whom complained that "In Overwatch you are sometimes greeted by more than one of these players per match, all assuming the role of Widowmaker, all standing on some ledge in the distance and all doing absolutely nothing to help you and your teammates push towards victory" in a list of the "10 Overwatch Problems That All Players Will Face." [26]
Paste magazine's Suriel Vazquez ranked Widowmaker 6th out of Overwatch ' s 21 characters on her "How Many Times They Made Me Yell 'Bullshit!'" list, expressing that "dealing with her is more frustrating than it should be." [27] Will Greenwald of PC Magazine noted that Widowmaker was one of his five favorite characters to play with, writing "Bastion and Widowmaker gave me the ability to cover choke points at both short/medium and long range." [28]
Overwatch characters have also become frequent subjects to cosplay as, with a Widowmaker cosplay by Russian cosplayer Jannet "Incosplay" Vinogradova receiving praise from Hayley Williams of Kotaku , whom wrote that "This Russian cosplayer is taking the world by storm, with a cosplay of Widowmaker [...] that looks like it could have been ripped out of the game itself." [29] Chris Jager of Lifehacker Australia similarly called her effort "the perfect Widowmaker cosplay" and "probably the best." [30] Overwatch ' s release saw large amounts of fan-made pornography featuring its characters being produced; "Overwatch" related searches boosted by 817% on Pornhub after the game's open beta went live, with "the most popular characters [featured being] Tracer and Widowmaker." [31] Tech Times remarked that "Widowmaker, by far, is the most traditionally sexy character in Overwatch . She's slim, tall, fit and wears high heels. Her outfit reveals more than a little skin to boot." [25] However, Philippa Warr of Rock Paper Shotgun opined, "I don't really get why Widowmaker has been given the femme fatale styling. Like, that whole femme fatale thing is about being all alluring and sexy, attracting people and then killing them, right? And yet she's the snipiest sniper in the game. She stands the furthest away from people of the entire cast and shoots them in the head, sometimes without them even seeing her. Who could she possibly be alluring?" [32]
