Fans of Overwatch 2 have stumbled upon a glitch that’s causing a bit of a stir among those who play as Ashe. A small bug in the game’s menu system means players are having trouble reverting to Ashe’s default weapon skin, leaving them stuck with the impressive but, for some, now unwelcome Lead Rose skin. This snazzy cosmetic was welcomed warmly when it first hit the scene, all thanks to its sleek redesign of Ashe’s Viper rifle in fetching hues of pink, red, and black. But now, it’s become a bit of a nuisance since it can’t be removed once equipped.
Customizable mythic skins have been part of Overwatch 2 since its launch, adding an extra layer of personalization for players. However, unique weapon skins like the Lead Rose are a relatively new feature, having been introduced just a few seasons ago. We first saw Reinhardt get his mythic weapon skin in Season 11, and since then, they’ve steadily released one per season. Ashe’s Lead Rose was the standout addition from Season 14, catching the eye of many with its vibrant style.
Luckily, Blizzard has heard the concerns from players finding themselves unable to switch back to Ashe’s default weapon skin. Some, like Reddit user mooo_mo, have shared their frustrations online, hoping for a resolution. The good news? Blizzard is aware and a fix should be part of the next patch. This kind of swift response is nothing new for the developer, known for promptly addressing bugs following big updates like this one.
Overwatch 2’s latest, Season 15, has packed in plenty of new features, ensuring the game’s still running strong. This season introduced a much-anticipated hero perks system, allowing players to get creative with character abilities in exciting new ways. Despite the minor hiccups, this season’s launch has been relatively smooth overall.
While not as disruptive as some previous bugs, this issue has highlighted how quickly small oversights can become a talking point in gaming communities. Rest assured, though, Blizzard has already rolled out a few patches to tackle immediate problems, maintaining the game’s fluid experience as much as possible. So, while we wait for the Lead Rose fix to arrive, it seems the rest of Overwatch 2 is running like a well-oiled machine.
