Overwatch 2 Reveals New Epic Skin for Mid-Season 13 Twitch Drops

Key Takeaways

  • Players can earn the Ringleader Reaper skin and more by watching 15 hours of Overwatch 2 streams on Twitch by November 21.
  • Unlike past Twitch Drops, the Ringleader Reaper skin is completely new and comes with matching cosmetics to unlock as well.
  • Reaper has received various skins recently, making it a great time to main the Talon assassin in Overwatch 2.

As a seasoned Overwatch 2 enthusiast with countless hours spent on the battlefield and a closet full of skins, I must say that this latest Twitch Drop campaign has truly piqued my interest. The Ringleader Reaper Epic skin is not just another addition to my collection, but a unique and exciting newcomer that I’ve never seen before.


The highly anticipated game “Overwatch 2” has launched its Twitch Drop campaign for its mid-Season 13 content update, marking a return after years with a fresh, Epic skin called Ringleader Reaper as the reward. To obtain this chic outfit, along with a coordinating player icon, spray, and name card, all you need to do is watch a total of 15 hours of any “Overwatch 2” streamer on Twitch from now until November 21st.

Just now, the mid-Season 13 update for Overwatch 2 was released, which includes balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs) for close to a dozen characters. Additionally, this update signaled the start of Overwatch: Classic, an exclusive game mode that replicates the original FPS experience from 2016 within Overwatch 2.

To mark the update, Overwatch 2 has initiated a Twitch Drops event offering fresh cosmetics. Fans can claim the Ringleader Reaper Epic skin by tuning in to any Overwatch 2 streamer on Twitch for a total of 15 hours before November 22. In return, fans will receive the matching player icon, spray, and name card at the 4, 7, and 11 hour marks respectively.

How to Get Overwatch 2 Mid-Season 13 Twitch Drops

  • Connect one’s Battle.net and Twitch accounts, then watch any streamers in the Overwatch 2 category from now through November 21 at 11:58 PM PST to earn the following cosmetics:
    • 4 hours: Ringleader Reaper player icon
    • 7 hours: Ringleader Reaper spray
    • 11 hours: Ringleader Reaper name card
    • 15 hours: Ringleader Reaper Epic skin

Instead of many past Twitch Drops for Overwatch 2 mainly consisting of cosmetics from old shop bundles, Ringleader Reaper is unique because it hasn’t been available in the game until now. Introduced with the Overwatch 2 Season 13 update, this skin and its accompanying items weren’t obtainable until recently. For the first time since Sukajan Kiriko was introduced alongside Overwatch 2 at launch, Blizzard is providing players with a fresh, free skin as a Twitch Drop.

Despite the fact that characters such as Mercy, Kiriko, and Widowmaker have been receiving numerous skins recently, Reaper has also garnered significant attention. He acquired the Grim Effigy Reaper Epic skin in the Overwatch 2 Season 13 Battle Pass, the Tomura Shigaraki skin during the My Hero Academia crossover, and the Anubis Mythic skin in Season 12. Fans even received the Calavera Reaper Epic skin as a Twitch Drop in March for the mid-Season 9 update. Given that Reaper is one of the original 21 heroes available in the limited-time Overwatch: Classic game mode, it appears that this is an excellent opportunity to specialize in the notorious Talon assassin.
