  2. Poolside Junker Queen skin
  3. Poolside Mercy skin
  4. Poolside Illari skin
  5. Poolside Lifeweaver skin

Overwatch 2's new beach collection includes Poolside Reinhardt, Junker Queen, Mercy, Illari, Lifeweaver, and Wuyang. The in-game shop has the Flamingo Ashe skin as part of the Poolside Mega Bundle as well. With her and B.O.B. decked out in vacation attire, it appears quite fitting. However, unlike the rest of the heroes with Poolside-specific skins, there isn't a Flamingo Ashe bundle to purchase at launch.

How to unlock every Poolside skin in Overwatch 2

Poolside Reinhardt, Junker Queen, Mercy, and Illari can be obtained via the hero gallery or in-game shop. The Reinhardt, Junker Queen, and Mercy bundles, in particular, include the Lazy River emote where they're chilling on a pool floaty. Meanwhile, the Poolside Lifeweaver and Poolside Wuyang skins involve the Overwatch 2 Season 18 Battle Pass. Poolside Lifeweaver's pool floaty emote can be obtained by reaching tier 31 of the Battle Pass as well. Our table below goes over all of the different options and costs for the new skins.

If you're only interested in one of the new beach skins in Overwatch 2 and neither the other items included in the bundles nor the Poolside Mega Bundle itself, then you should visit the in-game hero gallery. Access this area by selecting "Heroes" from the main menu. Next, choose the hero you're interested in and select the "Skins" option. Finally, scroll or look down a bit until you see their Poolside skin in orange text for 1,900 Overwatch Coins.

Our video below shows you how to do this as well.
