Overwatch 2players have been buzzing about an in-game discovery made about one of the game’s newest skins. Recently, one player found and shared a hidden detail on the Beekeeper Sigma skin, with this aspect of theOverwatch 2cosmeticbeing impossible to notice until it is actually being used.
For those unfamiliar with theOverwatch 2, it is a team-based, first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. One of the game’s most appealing features is the ability for players to customize the heroes with different skins that change their appearance. The Beekeeper skin was added as part of the Ultimate bundle for theOverwatch 2season 3 battle pass, and it transforms the tank hero into a beekeeper complete with a full beekeeping outfit. Bees can be found fluttering on the tank’s left arm and honeycombs are equipped as shoulder armor.

The Reddit user, who is known by the name of u/Drunken_Queen, was playing as Sigma with the Beekeeper skin equipped when they noticed something different about the appearance of one of his abilities. When usingSigma’s experimental barrierwhich extends a floating shield in front of Sigma to absorb enemy projectiles, the corners of the shield appear to be held up by bees. The bees located on Sigma’s wrist leave his arm and fly forward to hold up the shield when the move is prompted. This was a detail that had not been mentioned or hinted at in anyOverwatch 2promotional material.
The discovery has sparked discussions amongOverwatchplayers aboutthe different skins inOverwatch 2and the amount of variation between each one. Some players were left disappointed by the simplistic designs, upset that none of Sigma’s other abilities had been given the same beekeeper treatment. More optimistic fans were just happy to see the attention to detail, like the actual physical fluttering of the bee’s wings while holding up the shield. For the moment, this is the only skin available that changes the look of Sigma’s experimental barrier ability.
Players who are looking to grab Sigma’s Beekeeper skin for themselves can do so by purchasing the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle for $29.99 in theOverwatch 2cosmetic shop. The bundle comes with the Beekeeper Sigma skin, level skips for the Battle Pass, andOverwatchcredits. This offer will be available for all ofOverwatch 2season 3.
