This is why SOmbra had to be taken down quickly…..the moment he was given a chance, if you left him gain control of his kingdom even half day..he would already cause big problems…
I don’t think think they are actually being controlled. Sombra already broke them enough to do whatever. The helmets seem to suppress fear so nopony ends up deserting.
This proves that Sombra was probably the most effective villain of the series.
He’s brutal enough to do absolutely anything.
Only Tirek can match him on sheer evil.
Grim, but effective. Not only does it prevent any insubordination and desertion but it also makes the enemy hesitate to attack as they know they’re facing an innocent victim, unless the enemy is as ruthless as the enslaver is.
This was a very threatening scene, you could always wonder why a soldier fights for such a corrupt leader and when it’s shown that his troops are actually hypnotized to follow orders it makes fighting Sombra not only worse since you’re technically killing civilians but if you’re buddy is captured then you might end up fighting your old friend as well.
