Summary
WithOverwatch 2now reaching its first year early access anniversary launch, one player compiles a complete list of currently bugged character skins that have been available since last year. Unlike its predecessor,Overwatch 2adopted a free to play model, allowing players to jump into a match without having to first pay a premium price. As such, Blizzard uses monetization methods to fund the game, releasing battle passes, new cosmetic items, and recently, the ability to play new PvE missions through a paid DLC pack.
While the live service nature has led to plenty of updates, changes, and new content for the better, the monetization aspect remains a frustrating component for many players, especially with some of the prices within the in-gameOverwatch 2store.Things have improved sinceOverwatch 2launchedinto early access last year, with missing features and new modes being added over time, characters being reworked to make them viable, and more. However, some of the smaller details remain a work in progress as one player notes with a handful of bugged skins for various characters.
A user named Minehot on theOverwatchsubReddit put together a post showcasing the bugged and visually broken skins that have been left unfixed for well over a year. Theskins in question are the ones fromOverwatchthat made the transition toOverwatch 2as players could carry all of their cosmetic items forward into the new game. Unfortunately, not all of the weapon and character skins made the transition as expected as some are either outright bugged or are missing some of the visual details that made them more interesting in the first place.
Minehot’s thread specifically showcases seven skins in particular using screenshots to highlight them along with the various issues plaguing them, though the community made sure to indicate that there are more outside of these seven that continue to have issues or are missing something.
The examples above are only just the tip of the iceberg in regards to bugged skins inOverwatch 2, as plenty of new cosmetics have launched with odd issues as well. In fact, one player recently noticed that the Forest Spirit Orisa skin was also missing a small, yet unique element to her javelin, ultimately replacing it with a default and generic look.
Overwatch 2is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
