ubercharge:

let’s see

• play it a whole bunch in that difficulty. spawns are different on each difficulty and between story/all heroes mode, and the waves are the same for each section but they come at different times. so just be prepared. and pray to rng for good spawns
  
• it’s expert so you don’t have to be god tier at whichever hero you pick, but you should still be good at them. pick one you’re good at. they all have different roles. mccree and genji are harder than reaper and moira.
• whichever hero you pick, remember to do their job. in the higher difficulties moira needs to be throwing out heal orbs and healing often, reaper should be getting pretty close to most enemies to do dmg to them, mccree should be landing mostly headshots (if your accuracy dips below 50% that’s when i’d consider switching heroes) and flashing enforcers/assassins, genji should be killing snipers and also not dying. please stop dying as genji
• if you’re playing mccree don’t be fucking stupid, reaper has wraith, moira has fade/heal orb, genji has deflect/dash. you have a shitty roll. but you also have better range than reaper. you don’t need to be at the very front. shoot from behind your reaper/genji.
• reaper and genji can do the most tanking due to their respective kits and reaper’s 250hp. reaper should be leading the way in engagements.
• moira should be focused on healing. use that heal orb a LOT; your bio spray stores WILL get low. heal orb is good for keeping everyone alive while you do some dmg to replenish bio spray. and don’t fucking throw it at the ground unless you’re in an enclosed space, it’ll just bounce up and away. moira does insane healing and dmg for a healer who doesn’t have to fucking aim (i’m not salty about ana), so don’t underestimate the impact you can have. don’t be afraid to pop coalescence when you’re/your team’s low and you have no heals/heal orb. you’re the only support after all.
• remember to actually use your abilities. it’s ok to save ults for specific situations (you can figure out when yourself) bc some of them are more useful in specific waves than the others. but mccree’s flash is a must against assassins, genji’s deflect helps a lot against heavy, etc. 
• DO DAMAGE. SHOOT THINGS GOOD. they’re ai, it’s a lot easier to track them (yes, i’m telling you to track them instead of flicking because you need 0 flick ability to kill pve ai) than regular players. aim for the neck/head as reaper at close range or if above, bodyshots at midrange. headshots as genji and mccree. the general half of the screen the enemy is standing, as moira. idk about the others bc i mostly played mccree, but you should have your ult every 45s or so as mccree and probably not too far from that as the others. i don’t mean you should use your ult that often, that basically means that if there are enemies on screen, you should be consistently taking them out. and yeah i’ll be real you CAN finish expert pve with 3 people but there’s less margin for error than in hard/normal. but if you like a challenge, 3-player expert pve is the real hard mode
• you can skip the entire art gallery if you can get everyone through the doors into the restaurant courtyard. if you go fast enough, the doors close and the assassin can’t follow. there’s some other minor skips but this is easily the most useful one.
• punch the assassin to get her off of a teammate, but your mccree should be flashing anyway
• deflect kills for the sniper is safest way to kill her, mccree might be able to land some long-midrange dinks but don’t  depend on him, his gun has shit falloff. just make sure your other teammates aren’t peeking and pulling her aggro when you’re deflecting and you’re good
• heavy is probably the hardest challenge overall, you can kite around buildings and there are different ways to handle him that i’m not gonna get into but find what works for you. circling around a building is how my team and i did it last night (again, safest route) but you don’t have to do it that way. just remember he has a reload (take the time to put in some dmg) but he will tear through you when he’s not reloading. moira should be focusing on healing, genji should be landing deflect dmg when it’s off cd
• if you’re playing with a group, make sure everyone is on comfortable roles. pve is fun with friends until you’re repeating the mission for the 20th time. and that’s why i stopped group queueing mvm!
• get on the fucking drop ship
