While Overwatch 2 fans would agree that the cosmetics in the game are living up to the high standards that Blizzard established with the original Overwatch, the underlying monetization behind its cosmetics system leaves a lot to be desired. A good first step that the developers made was the new Gingerbread Bastion skin being sold for just one Overwatch coin, but players still feel skeptical about the game’s overall direction. The great thing about Golden Weapons in Overwatch 2 is that they exist outside the monetization system, as players can unlock them by spending Competitive Points earned through the game’s Competitive Mode.

The Golden Weapon for Ramattra in Overwatch 2 changes his staff into a very stylish gilded version but otherwise does nothing for the character, who is famously built to switch between two forms every eight seconds. Unlike Genji getting new shurikens, deflect dagger, and dragonblade, Ramattra’s fists in his Nemesis form remain the same. TorpidT believes that this is a shortcoming that could easily be fixed by Blizzard, and given the reception the thread received on the official Overwatch 2 subreddit, it would seem that many players would agree.

Thankfully, there is a precedent for post-release changes such as the one TorpidT is asking, as Ashe initially launched in Overwatch without Bob having any change when her Golden Weapon was applied. This is an addition that the developers could gain plenty of goodwill from, especially when one considers the current popularity of Ramattra since his introduction in Season 2. That being said, given how many new skins are being released per Season when compared to its predecessor, it’s possible the Overwatch 2 team won’t be able to address Golden Weapons for quite some time.

Despite the current state of dissatisfaction in the Overwatch community, players are still enjoying the moment-to-moment fast-paced gameplay of Overwatch 2, and their passionate criticism seems born out of a love for the game. While Blizzard no doubt has a stressful schedule in trying to meet its internal roadmap for 2023, players hope that the developers will still find time for some of these fixes.

Overwatch 2 is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
