Utility - 7.6
Ultimates
In one line: The ultimate is every agent's most powerful ability and only comes every so often. Using it in the right round, together with your team, can decide a half; wasting it in a round already won or already lost cannot.

Some ultimates win fights, some take or retake a site, some give information, others bring a teammate back to life or change the numbers. The agent pages describe each one; here we look at how to think about all of them.
