Sporty new Zarya skin gives a whole new meaning to ‘climbing’ the Overwatch 2 ladder
Her strength knows no bounds.
The Overwatch League has no shortage of cosmetic offerings for players that want to support Overwatch 2s professional scene by repping teams in-game, but on April 25, Blizzard added a skin to the OWL shop that will have players ready to climb.
Zarya is almost always graced with the sportiest skin in the game, and this one is no different. While the Russian is known for being one of the worlds strongest women, she doesnt necessarily have the build one would expect from a rock climber, but that doesnt seem to be stopping her.
Don't end this one on a cliffhanger

Zaryas new Rock Climber skin comes complete with a climbing harness, some quick draws, and of course, a chalk bag. Naturally, she has her hair put up and is wearing a headband to keep her face clear of any messiness while shes crushing rock climbs and her enemies elo.

While the outfit doesnt come across as anything especially outstanding, her Particle Cannon is what makes the skin something special. Instead of simply matching her outfit, Blizzard transformed the weapon to make it resemble a Walltopia gym climbing wall with brightly colored rock climbing holds on it.
