The Season 11 trailer for Overwatch 2<\/a> generated significant hype, showcasing new content such as the Runasapi map, a Transformers crossover, the Pink Mercy Skin tied to the BCRF, and the first-ever Mythic weapon skin. While many expected a reasonable price for the skin, its addition to the store left jaws dropping.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason is that the skin is priced at an unreasonably high amount, even in my opinion, especially for a Weapon skin. Let’s <\/span>take a<\/span> look at the details surrounding why the community is in such an uproar about the price of the first Mythic skin ever added to Overwatch 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overwatch 2 Players Are Calling The Price of the First Mythic Weapon Skin A “Scam”<\/span><\/h2>\n

As <\/span>previously<\/span> mentioned, the initial reveal<\/a> for the first Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 came during the Season 11 trailer, showcasing Reinhardt’s hammer, the “Bound Demon,” which sported a Diablo-esque look with flames and a skull. This exciting reveal included a suspected weapon inspection feature, as Reinhardt appeared to spin the hammer around in his hands in the trailer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Weapon
Not only will the weapon sport a weapon flourish and not an inspect like we all wanted, but to get the entire weapon skin and all its bells and whistles will cost roughly $80 without Prisms. (Picture: Blizzard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However, the excitement quickly turned into disappointment. The weapon inspects feature <\/span>turned out to be<\/span> a “weapon flourish” unlockable through paid upgrades. These upgrades come in four tiers: Level 1 is the base weapon, Level 2 adds weapon reactivity, Level 3 includes the weapon flourish, and Level 4 introduces fancy kill effects that make players disappear in a flash of fire when killed by the hammer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The worst part for fans is the price. Purchasing all levels of the weapon skin costs around USD 80 outright, without the Prisms from the Premium Battle Pass. Many Overwatch 2 players have voiced their protests online, with a post on the Overwatch subreddit<\/a> calling it a “scam.” Another post<\/a> lamented the $80 cost for all visual elements or $70 to get to the flourish alone.<\/span><\/p>\n
