Overwatch 2 has revealed a new Mythic hero skin in the form of the Cyber Fuel Junkrat, transforming him into an awesome cyberpunk demolitionist. The second mythic hero skin in Overwatch 2 Season 19 is now available for purchase across four tiers for a total of 80 Mythic Prisms.
Like every season before it, Overwatch 2 Season 19 launched with a new Mythic hero skin in the form of Divine Druid Lifeweaver. But for the first time in history, Overwatch 2 confirmed that it would release a second Mythic hero skin in the form of the Cyber Fuel Junkrat during its mid-season update.
Overwatch 2 Season 19 Mythic Cyber Fuel Junkrat
Now that Season 19 is halfway over, Overwatch 2 has officially revealed this incredible skin. Cyber Fuel Junkrat is straight out Cyberpunk 2077with bright colors, neon spray paint and futuristic sounds and elements reminiscent of Hazard and the Phreaks from Overwatch 2. Additionally, fans who unlock the full skin can toggle the skin's special visual effects to completely transform the skin, turning his skin bright purple and covering his face with a terrifying stylized holographic skull-like mask. The skin is available in the Mythic Shop in Overwatch 2 starting with the Mid-Season 19 update.
This Overwatch 2 Mythic skin was designed with its streamlined tier unlock philosophy in mind. The first level unlocks the entire base skin and special visual and sound effects, while the second allows players to customize Junkrat's RIP deck from among three amazing options. Level three adds the red and blue color options on top of the default green, and the final level unlocks the transformative VFX that make the skin really stand out. Once the skin is fully unlocked, players can purchase the gilded or shimmering aspects to further customize the skin.
Between its special effects and incredible visuals, many fans say it's the best Mythic hero skin yet, and some even wish they'd waited to buy Divine Druid Lifeweaver so they could pick up Junkrat Mythic instead. Hopefully the future Overwatch 2 Mythic skins can live up to the high standard set by this incredible skin.
Unfortunately, this incredible mythic skin has exacerbated an existing problem by placing an even greater demand on mythic prisms. Between the Divine Druid Lifeweaver, Cyber Fuel Junkrat, and Spirit Keeper Kiriko Mythic weapon skin, fans would need 240 Mythic Prisms to unlock all three of these cosmetics. It remains to be seen if this will become the new norm, but with only 80 mythic prisms in it Overwatch 2 Premium Battle Pass every season, their bi-monthly budget will be even tighter than it was before.
