When Rocket lifted a quantum circuit board from the Agents of the Cosmos Complex, he was planning to use it to get the Milano in the air again. But he quickly realized that kind of power could be put to much better use on the battlefield. Can you imagine a device that supplies unlimited ammo? Well, the Punisher certainly can…
PUNISHER’S WAR JOURNAL: I'm used to eliminating vermin from the streets. But for endless rounds? I can handle a team-up.
Heroes
- Rocket Raccoon
- The Punisher
Winter Soldier was removed from this Team-Up in Season 2.
Ammo Overload Guide
Ammo Overload is currently one of the best Team-up Abilities available in the game right now. Even though Winter Soldier was removed from this team-up in Season 2, Ammo Overload is still a really great asset to a team.
Rocket Raccoon stands as the anchor of this team-up, able to summon a device that grants The Punisher infinite ammo and higher fire rate. A normal Punisher is deadly enough, and with Ammo Overload, he turns into a savage in team fights.
Ammo Overload has a long cooldown of 45 seconds, so deploying it requires good timing. Here are the best times to activate this team-up ability:
- When your team is trying to take over a Control Point.
- When your team is pushing a Payload and trying to pass a choke point.
- When defending a point in a team fight.
- When dealing with diving Vanguards and Duelists who are stopping your team from progressing.
If not in the situations mentioned above, it’s best to hold and wait for the perfect moment. Make sure to also communicate with your team’s Punisher to better strategize and avoid miscommunication.
Best Against
This Team-up is best against flying, shield-heavy, and diving heroes:
- Captain America, Venom, The Thing, and Wolverine are all diving heroes that could be punished by Punisher's infinite burst of damage.
- Storm, Iron Man, and Human Torch are all flying heroes who can be easily countered by Punisher's hitscan attack, especially with the Ammo Overload ability.
- Doctor Strange and Invisible Woman are both shield-heavy heroes. Punisher can quickly destroy their shields with the infinite burst of attack.
Best Counters
These characters are the best counters to the Ammo Overload Team-Up ability:
Magneto is always a perfect counter when there's a Punisher in the enemy team, especially if they have the Ammo Overload ability. With Magneto's ultimate, he can draw in projectiles and deal the stored damage back to the enemy.
Groot is a good counter to Punisher's infinite ammo. Groot has the ability to create walls with a low cooldown, so even if the wall gets destroyed, he can immediately build a new one to protect himself and his teammates.
Moon Knight is a really good Duelist to counter Ammo Overload. Punisher will need to stand in an AoE of the deployed device, meaning that putting an Ankh in the middle can surely kill Punisher, or at least force him out of the AoE.
Psylocke and Spider-Man are good flankers who can one-combo kill Punisher, or at least draw his attention away from barraging your teammates.
Cloak & Dagger is the perfect Strategist with high healing ability to keep teammates alive while getting barraged by Punisher. Aside from that, Cloak can apply blind to Punisher so he won't hit anyone.
