History[ | ]
A prototype biotic rifle was designed by Torbjörn Lindholm, with the approval of Angela Ziegler. In an internal memo, Lindholm reported that the rifle was intended for use by Overwatch medics in the field, and that the rifle's technology was only intended for healing. Ziegler responded that her research in the field of nanobiotic technology was only in the area of saving lives. With this rifle, she warned that Overwatch was on a "slippery slope" to modifications that would result in the weaponization of biotic technology.[5]
