Disclaimer: This build is focused around Little Friend 7.62 assault rifle, which quite difficult to use. (because of very low total ammo). If you do not feel comfortable using this weapon, you can always check outdated version of this cosplay - Outdated Soldier-76

Become dedicated Soldier-76 follower by admiring his actions and his fight style. Everybody
know it is government and police who shut down Overwatch and labeled Morrison Soldier-76 as filthy criminal. It's time to protest it, in one way or another. If they are saying Overwatch is nothing more than murderers and hypocrites, it no longer matters if what our actions are. We all are still soldiers after all.

Brilliant connection of agility and basic protection.

To be honest I chose this perk deck to support Soldier's Lightweight Balistic Vest, which you can see under his jacket on default skin.

Little Friend maybe does not look like Heavy Pulse Rifle, but it is the same type of weapon - Assault Rifle with attached grenade laucher. Use bullets for single targets and grenades for shields and groups of enemies.

Because of low total ammo, Little Friend may be very unpleasant and not very effective choice of weapon when you are using it for the first time, but with little practice you will see, why this weapon can't have more ammo. You can just quickly massacre Skulldozer using less than one magazine, and attached grenade laucher is like GL40 as your third weapon.

Few tips for using Little Friend

• Little Friend's bullets are very powerful, but you have only 40 of them. Save these two mags for special enemies, especially Dozers
  
• Rely on attached grenade launcher. Ironicially, grenades are way easier to replenish than bullets, you should be able to get 1-2 grenades for one good explosion.
  
• Little Friend's best friend is Swan Song. Swan Song ACE affects both primary fire and attached grenade launcher, so depending on the situation, you can use it to clear the room with explosions, or eliminate nearby Dozers with rapid fire.

As you can notice in game or on figures, Soldier-76 always wears a holster with a handgun, trusty sidearm, always ready to draw. Because in Overwatch every gun is made of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or magic, you have infinite ammunition. Unfortunately Payday 2 is a little bit more realistic and you can very easily run out of ammo for your rifle, and when it happens, you have to depend on your sidearm.
Why Bernetti 9? Bernetti 9 pistol is based on Beretta 92 and Wikipedia says US Army uses it, so I think it is the best choice for Soldier.




If you look closely, you can see exactly the same armor under Soldier-76's jacket.
