Overwatch 2 just added a brand-new glowing rune HUD effect around the ultimate meter for Reinhardt’s Bound Demon Mythic weapon skin. This cosmetic feature grows and reacts to kill streaks along with the weapon itself, making the first Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 even more unique.

Orange-red runes can be seen in a circle around Earthshatter, expanding as players reach killstreak thresholds along with the weapon’s own transformations. Overwatch Cavalry captured footage...
