Whether you unlock them by show of skill or microtransaction, golden guns have become a staple of online shooters. Blizzard has decided on the former option for Overwatch: the only way to get special golden guns for all your favorite heroes will be to take names in the upcoming Competitive Mode. If you're not sure you'll have the chops to earn them - I know I'm not - you can at least see what they look like in the gallery below (via Korean Overwatch community site inven).

Kaplan also revealed that you'll be able to earn special spray tags and player icons for participating in each season. Speaking of which, the first season (Summer 2016) is still set to kick off by the end of June, letting players battle for top placement across two and a half months of competition. Then after a two-week-ish break, it will be on to the Fall 2016 season.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
