Overwatch 2 is teaming up with NERF for a limited-time collab that\u2019s all about fast reflexes, foam-fueled fights, and fearless fun. From tomorrow and through Aug. 18, swap your loadout for spring-loaded plastic and get into the action with all-new blaster cosmetics, earnable rewards, and a chaotic game mode that makes every elimination feel like a masterful victory lap.<\/p>\n<p>Getting NERF\u2019d never felt so epic!<\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/X_q9JoVcImI?theme=light&amp;color=white&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;HD=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" style=\"border-bottom:1px solid lightgray;\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Pick Your Plastic<\/h2>\n<p>Loadouts don\u2019t get much louder or more colorful than this! The Overwatch x NERF collab is packed with blaster-inspired weapon skins styled after some of NERF\u2019s most iconic gear. Cassidy headlines the collab with a Legendary skin that comes with custom visuals, unique sound effects, the NERF <strong>Maverick<\/strong> blaster <em>and<\/em> a <strong>Vortex Football<\/strong> to boot.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"OVR_PK_S17_BlasterCollab_WeaponSkins_Cassidy_001.png\" data-id=\"24223401\" src=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/page_media\/b2\/B29Q8ECVJ24Y1753897154304.png\"\/><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nHe\u2019s joined by Tracer\u2019s earnable <strong>Gelfire Pros<\/strong>, Genji dual wielding a <strong>Slingerang<\/strong> plus <strong>Power Blast Bat<\/strong>, and Mei bringing the pressure (literally) with the classic <strong>Super Soaker XP100<\/strong>. Additionally, Hanzo\u2019s got a <strong>Big Bad Bow<\/strong>, Baptiste runs the Galactic<strong> Commander<\/strong>, the newest NERF blaster from the Loadout line, and Soldier: 76\u2019s precision gets the plastic treatment with <strong>N Series Pinpoint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"OVR_PK_S17_BlasterCollab_WeaponSkins_Baptiste_001.png\" data-id=\"24223402\" src=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/page_media\/0t\/0TXTWRNCZRQW1753897213607.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Each NERF skin can be equipped on top of your existing Hero skins\u2014so no matter how you style your fit, your foam is fixin\u2019 to be fully loaded.<\/p>\n<h2>NERF or Nothin\u2019 Mode<\/h2>\n<p>This isn\u2019t your typical showdown. It\u2019s as chaotic and high-energy as a living room grudge match between friends and family with every blaster, bat, or bow you could find in the garage.<\/p>\n<p>NERF or Nothin\u2019 is a fast-paced free-for-all where eight players drop in, and the first to hit 20 eliminations claims the win. You\u2019ll start with a random Hero (minus Mercy and Lifeweaver, who are sitting this one out), and every elimination earns you a new Hero. Some of them will come with a new NERF blaster skin to master in combat. Can\u2019t snag a kill? You\u2019ll still rotate after three deaths. No repeats either: once you\u2019ve played a Hero, you won\u2019t get them again.<\/p>\n<p>Cooldowns? Basically gone. Everyone\u2019s working with 80% cooldown reduction, so the action is constant. Your Ultimate charge sticks around after death, and if you swap Heroes, you\u2019ll start with 15% Ult charge, ready to go.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"OVR_PK_S17_BlasterCollab_WeaponSkins_Mei_001.png\" data-id=\"24223403\" src=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/page_media\/2n\/2NOVAWLJXDQB1753897250692.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The maps? It\u2019s a greatest hits list including Chateau, Petra, Kanezaka, Malevento, King\u2019s Row, Hollywood, Dorado, Eichenwalde, Blizzard World, and even Paris.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as a weapon mastery trial with a lot more plastic, a lot less time to think, and seriously fun NERF\u00a0 foamfighting in every direction. Adapt or get blasted.<\/p>\n<h2>Conquer to Score the Gear<\/h2>\n<p>In this collab, the foamfights equal real rewards. Conquer event challenges to unlock a themed spray, player icon, foam dart weapon charm, and Tracer\u2019s Gelfire Pro weapon skin, plus up to 40k Battle Pass XP.
