The translocator is a type of beacon. Its user can return to its location while it is active.[1]
The device is used by Sombra, who stole it.[2] It appears to use similar technology to the chronal accelerator. Sombra has described sometimes feeling ill after using it.[3] Her translocator was damaged during a retrieval op on a downed command ship, forcing Sombra to change her application of the device. Whereas previously she would set the translocator in place to return to it, now, she would throw it ahead of her, using it for short-range teleporation.[4]
Trivia[ | ]
The in-universe shift in the translocator's usage (as shown in A Great Day) can be considered an example of ludonarrative harmony, as it synced with the in-game properties of the translocator in a Sombra update.
