Overwatch 2 gets its very first Mythic skin: the Bound Demon Mythic Weapon Skin for Reinhardt

Overwatch 2 has just received its very first Mythic weapon skin, with Blizzard introducing the new Bound Demon Mythic Weapon Skin for Reinhardt. Check it out:

This isn't just a regular skin, but the Bound Demon Mythic Weapon Skin reacts to every movement in the game, where the skin comes alive as you battle through the front lines. It doesn't matter if you're charging into battle, or holding the line swinging your big boy axe, Reinhardt's new Bound Demon Mythic Weapon Skin reacts to your every attack.

I've got to admit, the reactive-powered Bound Demon Mythic Weapon Skin for Reinhardt sounds so damn cool, but the price that Blizzard is charging is out of control. The new Bound Demon Mythic Weapon Skin in base Mythic skin form costs 50 Mythic Shards, which is $39.99.

After paying $40 for the new Bound Demon Mythic Weapon Skin, you'll need to unlock 3 varying effects for the new weapon. They're not even stock! Ridiculous. Awesome reactive skin look, but it's stupid that even after paying $40 you've got to grind and unlock the reactive effects.
