Overwatch 2 Teams Up with NERF for a Surprise Toy Blaster Event

Overwatch 2 launches a NERF collaboration with new skins, a fresh game mode, and event challenges.

Blizzard just threw a curveball at Overwatch 2 fans by partnering with NERF for a limited-time event that brings a splash of childhood nostalgia into the shooter’s chaotic arenas, and the collaboration introduces a new game mode and set of challenges that promise new things until August 18, 2025.

So, what’s the deal with this unexpected NERF crossover? Well, Overwatch 2 players can now deck out heroes like Cassidy, Tracer, Genji, and Mei with weapon skins inspired by classic NERF blasters. The event also features a brand-new game mode called NERF or Nothin’, where the action speeds up thanks to an 80% ability cooldown reduction. You’ll need to rack up 20 eliminations to claim victory, but here’s the thing: you switch heroes with every kill and get three chances to respawn, without repeating heroes during a match. Mercy and Lifeweaver are off the table, probably because Blizzard doesn’t want the chaos to get totally out of hand.

And guess what? You’ll get to test out the upcoming hero, Wuyang, from August 14 to 18, before Season 18 kicks off on August 26. That’s a neat little bonus for players hungry for fresh content.

Overwatch 2 x NERF: What’s Included?

  • Cassidy gets a Legendary skin featuring the NERF Maverick blaster replacing his Peacekeeper and a Vortex Football instead of his Flashbang.
  • Tracer sports the Gelfire Pros skin, unlocked through event challenges.
  • Genji dual-wields a Slingerang and Power Blast Bat.
  • Mei carries the Super Soaker XP100.
  • Hanzo wields the Big Bad Bow.
  • Baptiste comes with the Galactic Commander NERF blaster from the Loadout line.
  • Soldier 76 gets the N Series Pinpoint blaster.

NERF or Nothin’ Game Mode

This free-for-all mode is pure chaos wrapped in a foam dart party. You get a new hero every elimination and can swap heroes up to three times after deaths. The 80% cooldown reduction means abilities and ultimates come back almost instantly, and you start with a 15% ultimate charge right away. It’s a fast-paced change of pace for those who usually stick to their mains. Plus, the randomness means you might have to pull off kills with heroes you don’t normally play. Yikes!

Maps Available in NERF or Nothin’

  • Chateau
  • Petra
  • Kanezaka
  • Malevento
  • King’s Row
  • Hollywood
  • Dorado
  • Eichenwalde
  • Blizzard World
  • Paris

Event Challenge Rewards

Playing through the foam-filled frenzy will unlock various goodies:

  • Themed spray
  • Player icon
  • Foam dart weapon charm
  • Tracer’s Gelfire Pro weapon skin
  • Up to 40,000 Battle Pass XP

For those who want to splurge, there’s a limited-time NERF Mega Bundle with a bunch of skins inspired by classic toy weapons.

Final Thoughts

Blizzard’s NERF collaboration brings a quirky twist to Overwatch 2’s Season 17. The NERF or Nothin’ mode’s hero swapping and rapid cooldowns will have you on your toes, and the new skins add a playful flair to the roster. The event runs until August 18, so you’ve got some time to chase those rewards and try out Wuyang before the next season starts.
