11/8/2024
Developer Comments: We're increasing the cooldown on Concussion Mine to reduce the frequency of both Junkrat's mobility and burst damage combo.
Concussion Mine
- Cooldown increased from 7 to 8 seconds.
8/20/2024
Developer Comment: This is mostly a reversion back to how Junkrat's grenades used to ricochet in early Overwatch, which enables more control over the angle of the bounce and helps the weapon better control spaces with some tricky shots, but the projectile size is now reduced after a couple of bounces so there will be fewer random feeling direct impacts near the end of the projectiles lifetime.
Frag Launcher
- Projectile size is now reduced by half after the second ricochet.
- Projectiles preserve slightly more velocity on ricochet.
5/14/2024
Developer Comment: Junkrat's weapon has great damage output but is unreliable outside of close range due to its slow projectile speed, which is an intended drawback to its high output. The Season 9 health changes affected Junkrat more than most other heroes since it now requires one more shot to secure an elimination. We're increasing the damage on direct impacts to return to 2 direct hits for an elimination, without making his combo with Concussion Mine as deadly as before since that one is much easier to execute.
Frag Launcher
- Impact damage increased from 40 to 45 (Total damage increased from 120 to 125).
4/1/2024
Developer Comments: Junkrat put bombs on his bombs. Not sure why this would surprise anybody.

2/20/2024

2/13/2024
- Health increased from 200 to 250.
Frag Launcher
- Base projectile size reduced from 0.25 to 0.2 meters.
5/9/2023
Developer Comments: The previous adjustment to Concussion Mine's maximum damage lowered the effectiveness of Junkrat's grenade and mine combos too much so we are increasing the damage amount slightly.
Concussion Mine
- Maximum damage increased from 100 to 110
2/7/2023
Developer Comment: As the Concussion Mine already has damage falloff the further from the explosion the enemy player is, lowering the maximum damage will require Junkrat to be slightly more accurate to achieve the same lethality with some of his combos.
Concussion Mine
- Maximum damage reduced from 120 to 100
11/17/2022
