Overwatch 2 is spicing things up with an exciting April Fools’ Day event, introducing a fun new skin for Orisa dubbed “Rainy Ducky.” Players can snag this delightful makeover by engaging with the special event challenges. While some hurdles include racking up 15 assists or getting involved in 99 matches, the rewards indeed make the effort worthwhile. Orisa’s new look is cleverly designed, featuring a charming duck face with a rainy cloud motif, adding a playful edge to one of the game’s beloved tanks.
This quirky event, which runs until April 14, adds a whimsical twist to gameplay known as “Totally Normalwatch.” Here, gamers witness hilarious changes, like a downsized D.va mech or B.O.B., Ashe’s mechanical sidekick, losing his weapons and simply charging enemies instead. Bastion finds himself accompanied by an explosive training robot, while Hanzo gets to hitch a ride on Orisa during the battles.
Throughout the event, Blizzard has lined up an array of rewards for players to unlock. Overcoming various challenges can yield a haul of goodies such as the Dev Doodle Lucio spray for healing, or a cool “Silly Goose” player title for taking on 55 matches. Emoting “hello” in the game even nets you the “Have a Laugh Hazard” voice line along with bonus XP.
This isn’t the only enticing aspect of the current season. The Rainy Ducky skin joins the Rainy Day series of cosmetics alongside looks for characters like Mercy and Mei. Meanwhile, players with a knack for achieving particular feats can score items like the Smallga Mauga name card or Dev Doodle sprays featuring various heroes.
For those eyeing more than just in-game skins, there’s a nod towards an exciting future as Overwatch 2 hints at a possible collaboration with the renowned Gundam series. Though it’s not yet officially confirmed, such a crossover promises additional thrills for fans eagerly awaiting new developments.
In addition to these festive treats, Season 15 is also rolling out other coveted skins, including the Legendary Frozen Seer Lifeweaver skin. Players keen on expanding their collection can engage in community-driven Discord quests to unlock these sought-after cosmetics.
Overall, Overwatch 2’s April Fools’ event offers a refreshing mix of humor and creativity, inviting players to dive into a slightly offbeat, yet thoroughly enjoyable world.
