Deployables are entities produced by hero abilities that once deployed in a location stay in the map until destroyed or expired. Deployables do not count as heroes for the purpose of most game mechanics. As such they are unaffected by most status effects and do not grant ultimate charge when damaged.

Deployables are usually deployed either directly targeting a ground surface or deployed as a projectile. When traveling as a projectile, the deployable in most cases cannot be destroyed by Defense Matrix, Kinetic Grasp or Javelin Spin or reflected by Deflect. If the projectile hits an already deployed construct or barrier, it will either pass through or bounce off of it.

Many deployables can be hacked by Sombra and all barriers can be destroyed by her EMP.

In the advanced information panel, deployables are marked with the following keyword and description:

deployable
A non-player entity with a unique health pool.

List of deployables[]

Basic deployables[]

Most deployables have collision with heroes, and can block projectiles. They will not block line of sight for area of effect abilities, however.

Terrain-like deployables[]

Terrain-like deployables interact with most abilities as if they were terrain. For example, other deployables can be deployed on them, and abilities like Grappling Claw can attach to them. They will block line of sight for area of effect abilities, including most effects that would pierce barriers.

Barriers[]

Main article: Barrier

Barriers are semi-transparent, semi-permeable deployables that block most types of incoming damage, but do not prevent heroes from crossing. Barriers only affect the opposing team. Some attacks, including all melee attacks pierce barriers. Barriers can also block line of sight for most area of effect and targeted abilities. All barriers can be destroyed by Sombra's EMP.

In the advanced information panel, barriers are marked with the following keyword and description:
