Function
Overwatch is the Power sniper Panam gives after the Saul rescue. A suppressor is built in.
It is a Power sniper, not a Tech sniper or an SMG. The suppressor does not make every shot silent at every range.
How to get it
Help Panam rescue Saul from the Wraith camp in Riders on the Storm. Finish the overnight stay at the farm and speak to her in the morning to receive Overwatch.
The reward is beside Panam's bike the morning after the completed rescue.

Questions
How can Riders on the Storm fail?
It fails if you go into the camp alone and do not join Panam within 24 in-game hours, if you leave the area for too long after starting, or if you drive somewhere else during the ride. A failed job also closes Panam's later quests and her ending.
Where is Problem Solver in the same job?
A Wraith leader near the main entrance of the Wraith camp carries Problem Solver. Defeat and loot him during the rescue.
