New Mythic Deliverance Soldier: 76 Weapon Skin

Soldier: 76 is stepping into the spotlight with the new Mythic Deliverance Weapon Skin, a weapon that evolves with your gameplay. Inspired by the Six Realms of Rebirth in Buddhism, this skin reacts to every elimination, collecting the souls of defeated enemies and transforming visually as you use it.

As you defeat enemies, the Mythic Deliverance Weapon Skin weapon progresses through four stages of reactivity, each offering a new visual and auditory effect. Start with a ghostly aura around the weapon, progress to ghostly reactivity, add a flourish, and finish with the haunting sight of enemy souls being dragged into a lantern for a truly chilling effect. The more you perform, the more this weapon evolves, rewarding your gameplay with intense, satisfying feedback.

The Mythic Deliverance Soldier: 76 Complete Weapon Bundle is now available, featuring the complete Mythic Weapon Skin (base + all level upgrades) and 20 tier skips to boost your progress.

Season 13 of Overwatch 2 continues to deliver magic and mayhem with the introduction of Overwatch Classic, the return of Competitive Drives, and the dynamic Mythic Deliverance Soldier: 76 Weapon Skin.
