Abstract

We consider the force produced by Zarya's "Graviton Surge" in the video game Overwatch. The
mass required to produce a gravitational field of the necessary strength is found and the conse-
quences of utilising such a mass considered. It is shown that the surge must have a mass of 9.4x10^12 kg, but limitations from special relativity make the existence of such a weapon impossible.
