The addition of a new hero in Overwatch 2 not only means that players will have a multitude of new mechanics and combos to discover, but they’ll be able to dive into a handful of new cosmetics made specifically to make that new hero shine further.
Lifeweaver was officially added to the growing cast of Overwatch 2 as part of the launch of season four. As a support, he uses an invention of his own creation known as “biolight” as a means of not only healing his allies but also using it to provide positioning options for himself and his allies, such as creating a rising platform and a massive tree.
Lifeweaver is available for all players in the practice range and can be unlocked for quick play by reaching level 45 of the free track of the battle pass. Those who purchase the premium track will get the hero immediately.
Given how new he is, there are relatively few in-game cosmetics for Lifeweaver, including a skin in the battle pass and one that will be purchasable in the shop at an undisclosed date sometime during the season. But all players will have a chance to get one particular skin for free. Lifeweaver’s Cassia skin will be available through completing in-game challenges during the Thai New Year.
How to unlock Lifeweaver’s Cassia skin in Overwatch 2
Alongside the release of season four, a new game mode celebrating the Thai New Year known as “B.O.B. and Weave” has been added to the Arcade where six players will battle in a three-vs-three deathmatch all as Lifeweaver—regardless of whether they own the new hero or not. There are a handful of challenges that players can complete during the event, including one that awards the Cassia skin.
In total, there are eight Thai New Year event challenges. Four simply require players to complete games, and three require players to partake in the limited-time B.O.B. and Weave arcade mode. To earn Lifeweaver’s Cassia skin, players will need to complete the “Suk San Wan Song Kran” challenge, which requires players to complete five other Thai New Year event challenges.
It is unclear if and when Lifeweaver’s Cassia skin will return at any point in the future either for purchase or as a reward. Therefore, players should take part in this new event and complete the challenges during its duration to ensure they get their hands on a free skin for the newest addition to the Overwatch 2 cast.
