What nicknames have you come up with for skills or ultimate abilities?

Pretty much what the title says, I’ve been wondering what nicknames people have come up with for the various skills/ults.

My own would be : Bloody balls for the Trackers from the Mechanic. Not entirely sure if it’s original or where it comes from but I just called the “Bloody Shrapnel” skill that at some point not remembering its name. Eventually I just ended up calling the entire ability that because it sounds better and funnier than referring to it as Trackers all the time.

So what are yours?

I call Marcus’ ult Aimbot most of the time because I can’t for the life of me remember it. I also refer to Kaits ult as “U Can’t C me”

You think they will add the five knuckle shuffle to the execution moves?

Artillery = air strike
Dropshield = bubble shield

I used to call them blue balls :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I guess they would transition into bloody balls eventually.

Del’s balls!? :grin:

I call Bairds Dr-1 Troy as a callback to judgement

You would get a good static electric charge by rubbing those things :joy:

Fun fact, the dropshield in Gears 5 actually works more like the bubble shield in Halo 3, taking an infinite amount of damage until it expires. The dropshield in Reach would only take a limited amount of fire and also heal players in it(to a degree).

I refer to Baird’s DR1 as “Google”.

Used to call Marcus spammers “Skippy” after the kangaroo…

Usually I call that dumb DR-1 Ult “Robo” as it further disappoints me by not attacking targets. Been calling Nomad’s Fear as “El Miedo” due to a hispanic friend of mine, just sounds funnier in spanish to me.

Right, so I have a new one, even if it may not seem particularly original, for the Demo’s ult :

Seriously though, I decided to finish leveling it to 20 today on Frenzy and good lord is it ridiculous. Even with level 2 bleed(18% per tick), once I put some levels into cooldown I had to just drop it on a boss and it would just ready itself up again from the extreme damage. Some GL rockets also would do the trick otherwise if I didn’t have it but once some bosses showed up on wave 8/12 it was basically self renewing boss obliterating ult.

They will give the Swarm blue balls with the bleed. Heh heh.
