Not a huge chunk, just a stretch of desert in central Australia. Roadhog and a bunch of local settlers got pissed off at an Omnium being allowed to be set up there, so they sabotaged its nuclear reactor and blew it up.

Also they clearly turned it into Mad Max, not Fallout. :colbert:

Thing about other games is that the sheer volume of ammo boxes laying around the place really took away the strategic need to control those resources a la quake. Going back to that would (not sure this would be bad mind you) cause reddit to go supernova and erase their colo center from the face of the planet.

At the same time I wonder if that's why some of the flanker heroes end up being so strong. Like imagine Genji who had to pick up ammo boxes

Roadhog turned Australia into Fallout/Mad Max world, but Junkrat wasn't involved in it.

McCree has a dark past or something iirc.

McCree was a member of a trainrobbing cowboy gang in stardate 2090, then OW busted him and told him he could either go to jail or join the spy division. He chose to join the spies, so OW's spy division is a cowboy and sir shotguns

Also bastion isn't an omnic

I thought he was part of the gang, but Reyes saw potential in him and was like "Hey check it your two options are I put you in a wood chipper right now or you come with me and do Blackwatch poo poo and pay your debt to society and get me coffee whenever I say." McCree went along and eventually regained some humanity by working with good people and hanging out with Ana's little girl and poo poo. After Overwatch and Blackwatch ate each other, he hosed off to parts unknown doing god knows what until his dead friends called him up to help walk a limousine through a movie set

iirc, it was just getting to keep their Omnium (Omnic city/factory?) in the middle of Australia, where the local settlers really wanted it gone after the Omnic Crisis was resolved.

I'm pretty sure Omnic is just a blanket term for robots with AI, so Bastion should count, unless this is something Blizzard themselves have confirmed

Omnic is a brand name. Despite the Omnica corporation's collapse draconian intellectual property laws keep it under protection.
