Mauga was revealed at Blizzcon this weekend with a brand new gameplay trailer that introduces his weapons and his powers:

“Gunny” and “Cha-cha” are horrible, uninspired names for chainguns, I would say, however I do like that certainly one of his expertise (Berserker Passive) grants him additional well being when he offers crucial harm with the dual weapons.
