One of the ways Blizzard expanded upon the customization options was by adding weapon charms to Overwatch 2, but considering that the game is primarily a fast-paced first-person hero shooter, players don’t exactly have a chance to pause, examine, and admire the weapon charms in the middle of a match. Prior to the game’s launch, Overwatch fans had the impression that they could preview weapons in detail and inspect their dangly decorations, but the feature never made it to launch. The only way weapon charms can be inspected in Overwatch 2 is during their selection screen in the menu, as well as within a match itself.

Unfortunately, Wrecking Ball, or Hammond, as he is known to Winston, doesn’t have a lot of use for them, given that the UI in Overwatch 2 happens to cover up his weapon charms entirely. The problem was brought to the attention of the official Overwatch 2 subreddit by WilliamSorry, who seems to be a Wrecking Ball main. While one might wonder why it took so long for Wrecking Ball fans to notice such a glaring issue, there aren’t many players who can viably play the former bodyguard of the Junker Queen in the current meta. If there is one tank that deserves some love from the developers in Overwatch 2’s Season 3, it’s probably Hammond.

Ultimately, the problem with weapon charms isn’t just restricted to Wrecking Ball, as heroes such as Moira or Sigma in Overwatch 2 have their weapon charms quite literally attached to their body, and many fans would argue that it looks just as ridiculous as it sounds. While there’s not much Blizzard can do with these decorations in special cases such as Sigma, the more cynical players in the Overwatch community believe that they were only added as cosmetics bloat for the controversial battle pass system of Overwatch 2.

While one could probably spend years arguing if weapon charms are worth the trouble, their inclusion in Overwatch 2 is a net positive. More cosmetic options are rarely a bad thing, and given the relative simplicity of weapon charms, it’s quite possible they don’t take a lot of developer resources to begin with.

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