With 35 different characters,Overwatch 2includes a wide variety of skins. While the way that these cosmetics are unlocked in the sequel is steeped in controversy, it is hard to deny that many of them are visually impressive, such as some for Wrecking Ball.
Even thoughWrecking Ball was one of the later heroes added to the originalOverwatch, he still contains a number of Legendary skins. While his Horizon and Lunar skins are impressive-looking, along with his several event-themed skins, one fan has noted a particularly interesting detail about another one of his Legendary outfits, which is themed around Junkertwon, the home of several other heroes.
