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.
During its mid-Season 11 update on July 23, Overwatch 2 introduced the Bound Demon Mythic weapon skin for Reinhardt. Though it had released the Hard Light and Los Muertos weapon skins in the past, Bound Demon was the first one of Mythic quality, featuring unique on-kill effects, kill streak reactivity, and even a weapon flourish animation.
Overwatch 2 is bringing back some of the most popular limited-time game modes from the last year for its two-year anniversary celebration.
However, it seems the Bound Demon Mythic weapon skin just received another special feature in a recent update. As of the Overwatch 2 mid-Season 12 update on September 17, Reinhardt’s Bound Demon now has a unique, glowing UI effect around the character’s Ultimate meter. 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...
