Overwatch is the golden boy of XCOM 2. To put your soldiers in Overwatch they will need to have at least one action left. Overwatch shots have a little aim penalty(except when triggered by an ambush), but unlike its predecesor overwatch shots will trigger one by one, not all at once, allowing for a more diverse strategy setup.
It is important to remember than overwatch can be removed if the unit takes damage or gets hit by a flashbang.
