Overwatch 2 unveils NERF collaboration

Gun and FPS enthusiasts worldwide must have likely at least heard of NERF, the brand of toys that’s primarily known for its foam-based products, especially dart blasters, balls, and sports equipment. What most fans may not have expected is that the company is slated to collaborate with Overwatch 2 ^[1].

Overwatch 2 announced the collaboration by shadowdropping it, surprising fans worldwide on August 4. This is slated to be the first weapon skin-themed collaboration in the game, giving new cosmetics to multiple heroes who have guns and other projectile weapons.

Here’s what to know about the Overwatch 2 x NERF collaboration.

What’s in the Overwatch 2 x NERF collaboration?

From August 5 through August 18, Overwatch 2 delivers a limited-time crossover with NERF, turning character weapons into iconic blasters. Blizzard’s first weapon-skin-focused collab offers custom skins, sound effects, and perks that fit NERF’s playful aesthetic while still suiting each hero’s combat style. 

Cassidy leads the collection with a full legendary skin that includes the NERF Maverick blaster, a glowing Vortex Football replacement for his flashbang, retro accessories, and an animated intro worthy of classic toy commercials.

Below is a list of the other featured weapons during this collaboration:

• Tracer - Gelfire Pros (earned through event challenges)
• Genji - Slingerang + Power Blast Bat
• Mei - Super Soaker XP100
• Hanzo - Big Bad Bow
• Baptiste - Galactic Commander blaster
• Soldier 76 - N Series Pinpoint

Each skin stays faithful to its real-life NERF counterpart while adapting to the hero's mechanics. Visuals, audio, and reload animations are tailored to feel both playful and polished
