Dispatch

Civil Protection Fundamentals

This page contains both rules and general advice for City Scanner characters.

Introduction

Dispatch exists in the form of a city scanner, and uses its aerial advantage to broadcast and advise local assets.

As a city scanner, you are considered as the Overwatch dispatcher. You are an A.I. and you should behave as such.

Playing as a dispatcher can be challenging, as it relies on your ability to accurately mimic the speech patterns of Overwatch voice from Half-Life 2.

Overwatch dispatcher is a single entity. During times where there are multiple city scanners, their orders should never undermine or conflict with one another.
