It's not quite high noon, it turns out.
When Cassidy pops his Deadeye ultimate, starts glowing orange, and yells"It's high noon," my seven years of experience playing Overwatch tell me to run for my life. But, according to Overwatch 2 scientist Marblr, the cowboy's ult isn't as threatening as it might seem.
For a long time, nobody could explain why Cassidy's ult sometimes fails to hit enemies who definitely should've been toast. There are plenty of videos out there of Mercy inexplicably parrying a Deadeye shot without taking any damage and other heroes living through the ultimate despite being in clear line-of-sight of Cassidy.
Apparently, Cassidy's ult checks if enemies are in his line-of-sight by looking for"hardpoints," or specific points on a character model placed by the developers. Deadeye looks for two hardpoints on their chest and then one on their lower half to confirm a target is exposed enough to lock on. The problem comes from the fact that, when Cassidy shoots, the bullet always travels to a hardpoint on the chest, not the head, legs, or arms.
There's also very clearly a bug with the way Deadeye checks for the location of that chest-level hardpoint. Some heroes, like Junkrat and Ana, slouch lower in their in-game pose than the default T-pose used for rigging characters. Currently, Cassidy's ult checks for their hardpoints as if they're in a straight T-pose and adjusts the moment you fire.
