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, but will not deal much damage unless it is a head shot.[11] She also comes equipped with her Grappling Hook ability, allowing her to readjust her position and reach heights that other characters cannot.[9][11] 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.[11] 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.[11]
Widowmaker's fictional biography details her real name: Amélie Lacroix, age: 33, and base of operations: Annecy, France.[12] 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.[12] Now, her character is noted to be numb to human emotion.[12]
Widowmaker appears in Alive, the second in an eight-part series of Overwatch animated shorts.[13] The short is set in London's King's Row, which also the setting for a map in the game.[14] Widowmaker's in-game abilities are also featured in the short.[15] 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.[13][14]
In the Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard's crossoverMOBA video game, there is a Widowmaker skin for the playable character Nova, and vice versa – in the Overwatch, there is a Nova skin for the playable character Widowmaker.
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.[11] 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.'[16] Additionally she was the most selected defensive-class character during Overwatch's beta period.[17]
Dean James of Attack of the Fanboy found Widowmaker to be one of the strongest characters in the game,[18] 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.[19] Matt Kim of Inverse labelled Widowmaker as a 'fan favorite' character.[20] Her popularity with fans has led to Ben Bertoli of Kotaku calling her one of the most overused heroes.[21] 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.[22] 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.'[23]
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.'[24] 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.'[25]
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.'[26] Chris Jager of Lifehacker Australia similarly called her effort 'the perfect Widowmaker cosplay' and 'probably the best.'[27]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.'[28]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.'[22] 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?'[29]
If you are an avid Mac user using a Windows PC, and suddenly find a DMG file in your windows system, you would definitely want to open it up to see what it contains. Though the installation files or compressed files it contains will not be compatible with your windows PC, yet there are some ways you can check out what it withholds. But before proceeding with the ways to open or view a DMG file, it is better if we have a thorough knowledge of what a DMG file exactly is. DMG files are actually Mac OS disk image files. It is very similar to ISO files in windows, or rather a counterpart of ISO files.
The images usually comprise installation files of softwares and operating systems and sometimes, compressed files. Since you are using a windows PC, surely you won't be able to run it on your Window OS, but at least there are ways by which you can have a look at its contents. And that is what we are going to discuss in this article - ways to view the DMG files on Windows 10/7/8.
7-ZIP is a lightweight freeware which is easily available on the internet market. It not only extracts DMG files but all other of compressed files, such as ZIP, CAB, ISO, RAR, WIM, etc. But we would restrict our discussion here only upto DMG. Read the steps below to know the tool's usage:
Step 1. Download the 7-ZIP program file in any of your working computer and install it.
Step 2. After installation is done, locate the DMG file that you wish to open or view in your directory or desktop, and right-click on it.
Step 3. From the context menu, click on '7-ZIP' which will not appear as a part of your system since installed.
Step 4. From the next sub-menu that follows click on 'Open archive' and your DMG file will be opened and you can view the contents inside.
Cons:
DMG Extractor is another professional tool to open and extract .dmg files without first converting them into .iso or .img files. It's interface is very user-friendly and even a beginner can use it without any difficulty. Just go through the steps below to pull off the task:
Step 1. First of all, download the DMG extractor program file from the internet and install it in your personal Windows PC.
Step 2. Run the application with admin rights and in the main UI of the tool's screen, click on 'open' button in the upper menu bar to browse the required DMG file. The file will be loaded into the software's screen.
Step 3. After the file is loaded, you will be displayed all the contents contained within the DMG file.
Cons:
PowerISO is yet another very powerful professional tool which can open, burn, extract, create, edit, convert, any kind of disk image files. It can process every kind of image files, be it BIN, DMG, ISO, DAA, etc. Here we would burn the image file into a CD/DVD or USB and then will open it from the disk storage to check out what it contains. But before you head on the tool's usage, better have a look at its specifications to use it in a better way.
Step 1. Get the program file downloaded from the official website and install it in your Windows computer.
Step 2. Launch the utility with admin privileges and then insert a empty Disk (CD/DVD or USB) in your computer.
Step 3. Click on 'Tools' button from the menu bar and then click on 'Burn' option from the drop-down menu.
Step 4. Now the 'DMG Burner' option will be shown in the PowerISO Window's screen.
Step 5. Click on 'Browse' button to fetch the required DMG files from your computer's directory.
Step 6. Select the burning speed from the dialog box and then finally click on 'Burn' button to start the burning process.
Step 7. Once the image is burnt in your disk, open the disk from 'My computer' and click on the DMG file to view what it contains.
After going through all the methods mentioned above, you must have realized by now that the first two tools implemented have got several demerits and thus can be not relied upon fully. So in order to have all the facilities with disk images, better stick to way 3 for a guarantee result.
