Overwatch: 15 Best Skins So Far - Ranked

2. Pumpkin - Reaper's Headless Horseman Halloween Costume

Despite being an older design, there's something undeniably iconic about Reaper's headless horseman pumpkin skin. It's almost shorthand for the Halloween event itself, and it's even the subject of a campy little in-universe horror film called The Reapening.

Not only is it a cool skin overall, with its stylish metal, leather and high collar to go with the extremely Halloweeny pumpkin head that matches the event's own loot boxes, but it's also featured in the official Junkenstein comic, confirming that drama queen Gabriel Reyes makes his own costumes, and that his pumpkin outfit is one he's worn in canon.

Probably its best feature, however, aside from the pumpkin head, is the guns, which are inlaid with glowing carvings and their own tiny carved pumpkins, with two candles on each, so over the top that it makes the player, who sees these guns in first person, really feel the holiday spirit.

Most, if not all of Reaper's legendaries are impressive, with special mention going to his feathered Lü Bu and appealing Blackwatch Reyes and Soldier 24 skins showing off his handsome, hardened face pre-Reaper, but Reaper's Halloween skin will always hold a place of pride a pumpkin head above the rest.
