Community Reactions

The Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing crossover is bringing exciting new skins based on famous Gundam suits to heroes like Mercy, Reaper, Ramattra, and Soldier: 76.

While fans are thrilled about Reaper and Ramattra, especially because mecha themes fit their personalities and lore. 

But some fans are disappointed that Mercy is getting yet another skin and overshadowing other heroes. Still, players wondered why Pharah or Echo couldn’t get the flying Gundam suit like fellow airborne heroes who get less attention.
