Shown off by pro player and content creator ‘Frogger’ onTwitter, the new Bastion can not only pull off incredible amounts of damage with his new tank mode but he’s also able to jump onto unthinkable spots thanks to his new right-click.

He’s now a highly mobile machine that although gets slowed down during his tank mode, can get on top of rooftops, find flanks and surprise enemies.

“I’m digging the direction for the game!” said one fan onTwitter.
