Overwatch 2 is adding a new Mythic weapon skin for Soldier: 76 in Season 13 – and players have already gotten a first look at it in the update’s key art. Called Deliverance, this Mythic weapon skin should officially arrive in Overwatch 2 in mid-November.
In Season 11, Overwatch 2 released its inaugural Mythic weapon skin in the form of the Bound Demon for Reinhardt. Overwatch 2 followed suit in Season 12 with the Midnight Sun Mythic weapon skin for Ana. Following the pattern of its predecessors, Season 13 is introducing a Mythic weapon skin for Soldier: 76 that, according to a single line in the release blog, is called Deliverance.
Overwatch 2 Testing New Update Feature That Could Allow for Faster Balance Changes
Overwatch 2 tests some new technology that should allow Blizzard to implement faster-paced balance changes and hotfixes in the future.
However, fans may have already seen this new Mythic weapon skin without realizing it. The key art for Overwatch 2 Season 13 features the Mythic Spellbinder Widowmaker front and center, with several other skins surrounding her, including a couple from the My Hero Academia crossover. Soldier: 76 can be seen behind Widowmaker – and though he is in his default appearance, he is wielding an extraordinary weapon. This is almost certainly a first look at Deliverance.
Overwatch 2 Season 13 Mythic Weapon Skin – Soldier: 76
Previous Mythic weapon skins in Overwatch 2 have had four tiers of upgrades available for individual purchase, with a full ensemble going for 80 Mythic Prisms, or $40. The base weapon usually includes special UI elements and sounds, while the second tier unlocks reactivity – killstreaks for Reinhardt, and color changing based on healing or dealing damage for Ana – as well as more unique HUD features. The third tier grants a special weapon flourish animation, while the final tier features a special kill animation. It is safe to assume Soldier: 76’s weapon will follow a similar pattern.
Both Bound Demon and Midnight Sun came to Overwatch 2 during the major updates halfway through their respective seasons. If Deliverance does as well, it will be released alongside Season 13’s mid-season patch, which will likely arrive on November 12 or 19.
Many fans were excited about the new Soldier: 76 Mythic weapon skin, and can't wait to see it in action – though some were baffled by the canister of liquid seemingly attached to the bottom, saying it made the weapon look like a water gun. Others were disappointed that damage heroes got both Mythic skins for this season, even if Overwatch 2 has already done this type of weapon skin for a tank and healer. At the very least, they wish it would have been a hero other than Soldier: 76, as he already got a color-changing Los Muertos Weapon Skin in Overwatch 2. Luckily, dissatisfied players can always save up their Mythic Prisms for future seasons.
