Summary
Lead Rose, an elegant Mythic weapon skin for Ashe, is officially available for purchase inOverwatch 2. Featuring four tiers of unlockable effects, the fourth Mythic weapon skin inOverwatch 2is one that fans of the Deadlock Gang’s rebellious leader won’t want to miss.
Mythic weapon skins are a new type ofpremium cosmetic introduced in Season 11 ofOverwatch 2. Historically released alongside mid-season patches, Reinhardt, Ana, and Soldier: 76 have each already gotten Mythic weapon skins of their own.
Now thatOverwatch 2has rolled out the mid-Season 14 update, Ashe has joined the roster of characters who have received a Mythic weapon skin. Lead Rose is an elegant pink Viper and matching Dynamite and bouquet Coach Gun that fuses her aristocratic upbringing with her role as the leader of the lawless Deadlock Gang. Players who unlock the full suite of upgrades for Lead Rose can enjoy special sound effects and an evolving HUD, flowers that bloom on the rifle with kill streaks, and a weapon flourish where Ashe throws a rose. With an on-kill effect featuring an explosion of rose petals, Lead Rose accentuates Ashe’s femme fatale persona.
Likeprevious Mythic weapon skins inOverwatch 2, Lead Rose is obtained in one of two ways: by spending Mythic Prisms on its four unlockable tiers, or directly for $40 in a bundle that includes 20 Battle Pass tier skips. The base version of the weapon costs 50 Mythic Prisms, with each of the three upgrades costing an extra 10 for a total of 80 Mythic Prisms – the same amount earned by completing a single season’s Premium Battle Pass.
Unfortunately, with a Mythic hero and weapon skin coming in each season, fans won’t be able to keep up with the 160 Mythic Prisms required to buy every Mythic cosmetic with the Premium Battle Pass alone – especially consideringOverwatch 2also added Mythic Aspects in Season 13to further strain their bimonthly Mythic Prism stipends. Luckily, unlike Mythic hero skins, which leave the shop for the two seasons after they are introduced, Mythic weapon skins and Mythic Aspects stick around indefinitely, meaning players will always have something to spend the currency on. That said, with this new trend, fans will have to be more discerning about which Mythic skins they decide to purchase.
