Overwatch 2 players slam “mediocre” reward for Halloween event

As a long-time Overwatch fan, I must admit that this year’s Halloween event has left me a tad disappointed. The new Junkenstein’s Lab mode is intriguing and offers a fresh twist on the traditional gameplay, but the lack of substantial rewards feels like a trick rather than a treat.


This year’s Halloween event for Overwatch 2 has generated a lot of excitement, but players seem less than thrilled with the event’s prize offerings.

As a thrilled Overwatch 2 fan, I’m absolutely ecstatic about Season 13, as it brings the long-awaited arrival of Spellbinder! This season also ushers in an exciting twist on our annual Halloween event. Unlike past years, this year’s event introduces a fresh take on Junkenstein’s Lab mode, where we get to select extraordinary “mutations” for a truly unique gaming experience.

It’s great to see the introduction of this new PvP mode, but it’s important to address one concern: the community isn’t thrilled about this year’s event rewards. Instead of the variety of options like weapon charms, voice lines, and more that were available in past years, this time around, players can only receive a title and XP.

In a Reddit post, one user expressed their dissatisfaction by saying: “The Halloween event only offers a so-so title as the reward, and it’s also important to mention the EXP! Guys, let’s get it!” Reading this made it seem like they were growing increasingly disappointed with the diminishing rewards provided in each event.

As a fellow enthusiast, it’s clear that many of us share the sentiment about the disappointing nature of the rewards. One player put it perfectly: “Indeed, I can hardly imagine a more disheartening event… It’s just, even a standard skin would be preferable to nothing at all? Not even an epic?

Originally, one user expressed that they believed a simple player icon should have been included as a minimum, but now they realize they may have underestimated. Similarly, another user shared the same initial response upon seeing the single reward which they described as ‘mediocre after the update’: “1 prize, and it’s just so-so.

One user said they could’ve “easily used the S76 or Torb Zombie recolors as rewards.” They added, “The skins are mid; nobody will be buying that anyway.”

As a gamer, I’ve noticed a mixed response to the latest update from players in the comments section. Many aren’t pleased with the title and XP rewards, but several have emphasized that the game mode remains enjoyable. In my opinion, even if the rewards aren’t top-notch, the fun factor alone makes it worth diving into. One player put it perfectly: “This event is a blast! Just playing it is its own reward.
