It’s time to flip the script and get blasted—literally! Overwatch 2 is teaming up with NERF for a limited-time event that’s all about lightning reflexes, foam-fueled firefights, and nonstop fun. From now until August 18, swap your loadout for spring-loaded style with brand-new blaster cosmetics, earnable rewards, and a chaotic game mode where every elimination feels like a victory lap.
Pick Your Plastic
The collab packs a punch with weapon skins inspired by NERF’s most iconic blasters. Cassidy leads the charge with a Legendary skin featuring the NERF Maverick, custom VFX/SFX, and even a Vortex Football. Tracer’s bringing the Gelfire Pros, Genji rocks the Slingerang and Power Blast Bat, and Mei’s cooling things down with the Super Soaker XP100. Hanzo wields the Big Bad Bow, Baptiste goes futuristic with the Galactic Commander, and Soldier: 76 sharpens his aim with the N Series Pinpoint. Best part? These weapon skins can be layered over your existing Hero skins for maximum style.
NERF or Nothin’ Mode
Eight players. One free-for-all. First to 20 eliminations wins. In this fast-paced mode, you’ll start with a random Hero (except Mercy and Lifeweaver) and swap Heroes after each elimination or three deaths—no repeats. Many come with NERF blasters to master on the fly. Cooldowns are slashed by 80%, Ultimate charge carries over between lives, and you’ll get 15% Ult charge on new Heroes. Maps include fan favorites like King’s Row, Dorado, Blizzard World, and even Paris.
Earn and Shop
Complete event challenges to score a themed spray, player icon, foam dart weapon charm, Tracer’s Gelfire Pro skin, and up to 40,000 Battle Pass XP. For collectors, the in-game shop features limited-time bundles, including the NERF Mega Bundle with every blaster skin.
The Overwatch 2 x NERF collab runs August 5–18. Grab your gear, hit the field, and remember—it’s NERF or nothin’!
