Overwatch: 15 Best Skins So Far - Ranked

12. Beachrat - Junkrat In "Winter"

While Junkrat's Krampus skin has the most holiday cheer and menace and is even more complex and interesting to look at from a design standpoint, there's something truly special and comedic in the fact that Junkrat's summer-themed Beachrat is a winter event skin, in deference to Australian summer happening at the same time as North American winter.

Of course Junkrat has to sow some chaos even when on vacation, breaking the trend of holiday and ice-themed skins with his swim shorts and shades and shark bone-decorated prosthetic leg. Seeing him standing proud in the snowy background of winter wonderland with his sunburn and little bottles of sunscreen is a treat, but the best part of this skin has to be his riptire, which is shaped like a rubber-duck floatie with a propeller in the middle, which we can imagine Junkrat jerry-rigging for maximum carnage.

Junkrat isn't short of great skins, with his colourful jester-themed legendaries, his aforementioned Krampus skin, his Bilgerat pirate skin and mad scientist Junkenstein ensemble, but Beachrat, in all its hilarity, must be crowned king.
