Natalie “Wattson” Paquette is the daughter of the lead electrical engineer responsible for the title’s battle royale setting. “Wattson fights in the arena she helped build,” according to the press release. “Destroying incoming missiles, recharging shields, creating fences, and using her pylon to silence fights that get too loud.”
