Overwatch 2 Bug Turns Characters Bald, Creating Hilarious Results

One player’s unfortunate encounter with a bug in Overwatch 2 led to all the character models appearing bald. This unusual glitch affected every hero in the game, resulting in some comical and off-putting visuals. The player shared screenshots of the hairless cast on Reddit, showcasing the bizarre appearance of popular heroes like D.Va, Reinhardt, Mercy, and Kiriko. While bald bugs are not uncommon in games, it is rare to see all character models affected simultaneously.

The screenshots captured from the player’s laptop give the impression of an undercover glimpse into Blizzard HQ, adding to the humor of the situation. The absence of hair creates peculiar looks for the heroes, such as D.Va’s enlarged forehead resembling Megamind and Reinhardt resembling a bulked-up Soldier:76. Mercy’s yellow headset appears more prominent without her flowing hair, and Kiriko’s mask hovers above her forehead, seemingly connected by a spiritual force.

Comments on the Reddit threads added further amusement, comparing bald Reinhardt to the Heavy weapons guy from Team Fortress 2 or a Pixar version of actor Jason Statham. Some users even appreciated the characters’ new appearances, particularly Zarya and Sombra, who already had short haircuts.

This bug could potentially serve as a hilarious April Fools’ joke if implemented intentionally by Blizzard. In the past, the company has introduced fun elements like googly eyes on characters during the holiday. Making all the heroes go bald for a day would undoubtedly bring joy to many players.
