The idea here is to build a soldier that will absolutely shred squishies by maximizing fire rate and ammo on the Pulse Rifle. Instead of your standard set of aimbot/helix, focus on powers that synergize well with the pulse rifle.
We make the most of the 0.5 seconds of [Super Visor] and then maximize the size of the clip to stack damage via [Chaingun] .
On round 5 we grab [Man on the Run] to make a monster clip you can unload rapidly.
Important: As written, this build only uses 6K per round. Any extra cash and slots should be used situationally. If you're dying instantly, beef up survival / lifesteal. If the opponent squishies are not very squishy, beef up weapon power.

Note: A good [Genji] can make your life miserable (more than usual). Consider a helix soldier instead.

Log InIf you have decent aim, this build ABSOLUTELY SHREDS. The poor enemy Rein had to hide behind walls most the game. And I didn't even have Shieldbuster or Salvaged Slugs yet. Really the most challenging thing is controlling your recoil with all the attack speed. I'd recommend bumping your vertical sensitivity up a bit.
Awesome build, super easy. Thanks
FYI - Season 17 has removed [Chaingun].. due to a bug - https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-2-known-issues-june-24-2025/942905
thanks @Lima - i'm adding a note at the top
@buddhapest - It's back now, in case you haven't seen!
The build is too weak in dps until round 4, I found myself in difficulty and had to completely modify it.
I dissagree with this, I find my self usually getting Way ahead of everything and having enough money to skip ahead to the next builds list @Janhtzen
Yes finishing kills and and weak vs reaper but in 2 days I was finally able to correct myself and understood how to aim at the enemy with a soldier 76: follow enemy with my eyes without looking at the crosshairs. The build is very great.
what was the difficulty? finishing kills? not being able to duel dps? i'm still tweaking the build but have been running it successfully in Elite 1, Pro 5 range
sick build got to pro 4 and i play like one day a week when i feel like it so perfect for aimless noobage
nice! fellow aimless noobage here ;)
I think this build is a little improved and it will be perfect, went from pro 5 to pro 4 with it, tired of helix build and this one seems to be something new
ya, that was the main motivation - the helix build is great but I wanted to try a different direction.
Tried this is Elite-Pro lobbies, it absolutely shreads if you can get an angle right. Works really well with Kiriko's ult (MORE attack speed), and I feel like could really benefit from some weapon life steal for sustainability.

DAMN you know the build is legit when the hardest part of running it is the recoil
