The Overwatch 2 free Reaper Skin serves as an apology gift from Blizzard to the community for the rocky launch of Overwatch 2. The release of Overwatch 2 has been anything but smooth, so to compensate players for their troubles, Blizzard is giving away a Legendary Skin for Reaper. This offer is only available for a limited time, so don't hesitate to claim the Overwatch 2 free Reaper Skin.
- The Overwatch 2 LC-208 error, Overwatch 2 BC-153 error, Overwatch 2 player is in a different version error, Overwatch 2 game server connection failed, and unexpected server error are just a few of the errors pestering Overwatch 2 players.
What Is The Overwatch 2 Free Reaper Skin?
It's no secret that Overwatch 2's launch has been plagued with absurd queue times, DDoS attacks, non-stop errors, and more problems. Blizzard has recently expressed regret over the substandard start to Overwatch 2, with Community Manager, Jodie, stating publicly that "the launch has not met your, or our, expectations". In the same post, Jodie continues with a promise from Blizzard to work hard to resolve the ongoing issues and remain transparent with the community as they progress toward fixes.
As an apology for the plethora of issues, Blizzard is giving out a free Reaper Skin to make it up to the Overwatch 2 community. The Cursed Captain Reaper is a Legendary Skin reminiscent of Davy Jones, an undead skipper from Pirates of the Caribbean. Typically, a Skin of this quality would cost a hefty number of Overwatch Coins, but if you act fast, it can be yours for free.
- There's not much Blizzard can do about the Overwatch 2 DDoS attacks, but it's still an inconvenience for players to deal with.
Overwatch 2 Free Reaper Skin: How To Get
Acquiring the Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary Skin for free in Overwatch 2 is rather simple. Log into Overwatch 2 at any point between October 25, 2022, and the end of Season One (December 6, 2022) to collect the free Reaper Skin.
And that's not all! Blizzard is also giving away the Health Pack Weapon Charm to all that log into Overwatch 2 during this period. And to make amends for any lost time, Overwatch 2 players can look forward to several Double XP Match weekends planned for the near future.
- Blizzard has acknowledged the existence of an Overwatch 2 bug that locks your characters.
With that, you have everything you need to collect the Overwatch 2 free Reaper Skin. Log into Overwatch 2 starting October 25, 2022, to receive the Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary Skin and Health Pack Weapon Charm for no charge. While free cosmetics won't roll back the clock and save the hours you may have lost struggling to play Overwatch 2, the compensation is appreciated, nonetheless. And don't forget, you'll have a few Double XP Match weekends coming up too!
