Overwatch launched in 2016 from Blizzard Entertainment as a team-based hero shooter, and its elimination sound quickly became one of its most recognisable audio cues. Streamers and montage editors lifted the short ping for use outside the game, pairing it with other shooter callouts like Enemy Spotted in Counter-Strike and Valorant edits. Because it signals a confirmed elimination in under two seconds, it survived the move to Overwatch 2 and remains popular on Discord soundboards, TikTok gaming clips and YouTube shorts where a clean hit needs instant recognition.
