Overwatch 2 players who are fans of Ashe may have run into a rather frustrating issue lately. The problem lies with the Lead Rose weapon skin, which once equipped, stubbornly refuses to be replaced with the default weapon skin in the game’s menu. This glitch might seem minor, but for those wanting to switch back to Ashe’s original look, it’s a pretty annoying hiccup.
Interestingly enough, the Lead Rose weapon skin is a fresh addition to the game and has been quite popular among players. While Overwatch 2 offers a variety of skins for different heroes, it looks like Ashe is the only one caught in this predicament. Since mythic skins were introduced early in Overwatch 2, unique weapon skins, however, only started appearing much later, once Reinhardt got the first mythic weapon in Season 11. Now it seems that Blizzard has been regularly unveiling at least one new mythic weapon skin each season, with Ashe’s Lead Rose making its debut in Season 14.
The Lead Rose brings a beautiful mix of pink, red, and black to Ashe’s Viper rifle, and many fans have loved this vibrant look. However, players like mooo_mo on Reddit have voiced their frustrations about the bug that makes the cosmetic irremovable. It appears this issue cropped up with the latest season update, as quite a few gamers have reported the same experience recently. Fortunately, Blizzard has acknowledged the bug and intends to address it in an upcoming patch.
Reports from other fans online have also surfaced, cautioning users to think twice before trying on the Lead Rose skin until the problem is fixed. Despite this hiccup, Season 15 of Overwatch 2 seems to be enjoying a relatively smooth launch, featuring a much-anticipated hero perk system that has brought a new level of strategy and customization to gameplay.
While this specific bug isn’t as unusual as some others in the past, fans have noticed minor grievances popping up with the recent update. However, Blizzard is known for its quick action in ironing out glitches from new releases, and they’ve already rolled out a couple of patches to tackle the most pressing issues players have faced with the new content. Hopefully, those eager to restore Ashe’s default skin won’t have to wait too long for a solution.
