How to counter Bridget in Overwatch 2

Below is a list of heroes that are great against Bridget:

• farra
• Dawn
• Junkrat

Let’s look at them in a little more detail.

farra

Pharah is the best DPS character you can switch to if Bridget is on the opposite team. As a flying character, she is always out of Bridget’s range and can permanently reduce her health. Spamming Pharah missiles when Bridget uses her shield is a great way to damage her as a personal shield, it doesn’t cover her sides leaving her unprotected.

Dawn

Dawn’s Partial Barrier Bubble pairs perfectly with Brigitte’s melee attacks, as any damage makes Dawn’s Beam Cannon stronger. But this barrier can also be projected onto your allies to make Bigitte’s life harder. All of this, combined with Zarya’s tank class, makes her a formidable hero against Brigitte.

Junkrat

Bridget excels in close combat, and her shield dash is fuel for nightmares. A great trick to stop her is to keep your distance and deal sustained damage to her shield and health. Junkrat is a great choice for this role, with his Frag Launcher that can toss grenades around corners, keeping you out of Bridget’s line of sight. Its concussive mines can blow you up to a safe distance or high ground if you’re stuck in a corner. A well-played Junkrat can create serious problems for any Bridget.

Heroes like Bastion, Widowmaker, and Torbjorn are great alternative choices to counter Bridget.
