Fresh skins await in the “Sturmzeichen” event of Overwatch. Fans of Junkrat and Baptiste should keep an eye out. All skins can be found in this article.
On April 16, the “Archives” will return in Overwatch. In this recurring event, there is always a different story mission from Overwatch’s past. In 2019, it is called “Sturmzeichen” and involves a special operation led by Tracer.
As every year, there will also be some new skins announced by the developers in advance. The first two, for Junkrat and Baptiste, have now been revealed.
Update: The article was updated on 04.15. Below you will find all the skins revealed so far!
Baptiste as Talon Soldier: Baptiste has a past with Talon and has gone down the wrong path as a mercenary throughout his life. However, he later turned his life around and improved himself. His new skin, which was presented on Twitter, comes from his time with Talon. It features the typical white and red coloring of the Talon units, along with some visual adjustments to the armor.
Junkrat as Clown: Junkrat is generally a bit crazy and eccentric. He likes to let out “his inner clown” when it comes to explosions. Therefore, a painted skin and clown clothing is just right for him.
More Skins from the Archives Event “Sturmzeichen”
In the past few days, more skins have been revealed. This includes new outfits for Wrecking Ball, Soldier: 76, as well as Moira and a particularly cool Bastion skin. You can view all skins here in the gallery (Click to enlarge)
How to obtain the skins? As usual, the skins will be included in the special loot boxes that can only be earned or bought during the Archives event. Fans will have three weeks from April 16 (until May 6) to earn the new skins. Those who have accumulated a lot of credits can also purchase the skins for credits instead.
