The charms available in Overwatch 2 really don't make sense for the heroes who don't use guns.

As highlighted on Reddit, the stylish add-ons available to players actually only work with heroes that wield guns. You can see from the Reddit post below that without a weapon in hand to hang the newly acquired charm on, heroes are forced to instead pierce a hole through their hand to display their new accessory. 

these_charms_dont_even_make_sense_on_heroes from r/Overwatch

All jokes aside, it's a shame that Blizzard is yet to modify this considering there's a few heroes that don't wield a gun. For instance, you've got heroes like Kiriko, Genji, Doomfist, and more that don't use a typical weapon and so would struggle to hang a charm on their equipment.

  • Overwatch x Project YoRHa Overwatch's Nier collab is here, but with no voice lines and a price higher than the action RPG, players aren't happy

As pointed out in the comments of the Reddit post, an easy way to get around this injustice would be to allow heroes to wear the charms as a piece of jewelry like a ring or bracelet. For now, though, we'll have to just settle with the palm piercing. 

It's also a shame for Blizzard who are probably missing out on more people purchasing the in-game weapon charms due to not all heroes being able to use them properly. In fact, one of these charms - the Pachimari one to be exact - actually costs less to buy physically than it does to acquire it in-game. Available for 700 Overwatch coins (which is the equivalent of around $10), you can also pick up the real-life Pachimari keychain for just $5.

In other Overwatch 2 news, fans are growing increasingly concerned about Brigitte following Mei, Bastion, and Torbjorn's removal from the game after all of them needed fine-tuning due to bugs.

News Writer

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
