Overwatch 2 Jetpack Cat: What the Support Hero Does

Overwatch 2 Jetpack Cat sounds like a joke pick until you check the patch notes: it is a genuine Support hero, added as part of 2026's five-hero wave alongside Domina, Emre, Mizuki and Anran.

What's confirmed

Patch notes list Jetpack Cat's kit under the Support role, with named abilities including Purr, a self-healing tool that pulses in waves, and Lifeline, which grants a movement speed bonus. Purrfect Form is a major perk option that adds extra pulses to Purr.

Early tuning

Both Purr and Lifeline have already been adjusted since launch — self-healing penalties and speed bonuses have moved between patches, which is normal for a hero this new. Treat any specific percentage you read, including one printed a season ago, as out of date until you check the current patch notes.

Where to check the exact kit

The in-game hero gallery reflects whatever the current patch actually shipped, which makes it more reliable than any guide for exact numbers on a hero still being tuned this actively.

Learning the hero

Start in the practice range to get a feel for Purr's pulse timing, then move into Quick Play before taking a brand-new pick into Competitive.
