A new season ofOverwatch 2would be incomplete without new skins to collect, and the 15th season of the game has introduced the new Perk Up Event, as well as a collection of perfectly adorable “Rainy Day” skins for Mercy, Mei and Kiriko.
Each character is colorfully adorned with a rain jacket and boots, and two of those skins - Mercy and Mei - are free to earn. So, for Honor and Glory, as this season’s motto goes, or for staying dry on a rainy day, here’s how to earn the free Rainy Day skins in Season 15.
