An enthusiastic player of Overwatch 2 stumbled upon an unusual hiccup with Doomfist's latest skin during highlight intros. These intros are a key visual feature in the game that concludes each match, celebrating the most impressive play. While these cosmetics carried over seamlessly from the original Overwatch—skins, emotes, sprays, voice lines included—the addition of new battle passes, and shop cosmetics gives players fun ways to stand out. But a recent discovery suggests Doomfist's new getup might not be behaving as intended.
The observant Reddit user Eastern-Chemistry-54 posted a comparison video on Overwatch 2's forum. The user first showcased Doomfist donning the Bonebreaker skin, keyed up with an Uppercut highlight intro. Doomfist appears, confidently showing off his gauntlet before launching into the named uppercut, exhibiting a minor trembling of his fist right before the action. Next, the video switches to Funky Skin performing the same intro, where a noticeable increase in fist trembling becomes apparent, raising questions about the discrepancy with the rest of Doomfist's wardrobe.
The community is left wondering if this exaggerated shaking in the Funky Doomfist intro was an intentional design choice or an oversight by the developers at Blizzard. Considering that other skins do not present this same issue, it suggests that an unexpected quirk has introduced itself with the arrival of the Funky Skin. Fans can expect that Blizzard, with their track record of ongoing game refinement, will likely address and rectify any inconsistencies in a forthcoming update.
For those interested in acquiring the new Doomfist skin, it comes as part of the Funky Doomfist bundle priced at 2,100 Overwatch Coins. The bundle, not only rich in 70s flair but also housing a distinct Highlight Intro, Disco Ball Weapon Charm, and a themed Name Card, is tempting for collectors. Overwatch Coins, necessary for this purchase, are available in denominations such as 500, 1,000, 2,200, 5,700, and 11,600, with the 2,200 bundles aligning nicely with the cost of the Funky Doomfist set at $19.99. Players will find themselves with a small surplus of coins post-purchase, ready to be used on future Overwatch 2 treasures.
