Overwatch 2’s latest crossover to go live this Season 9 is one with none other than Cowboy Bebop, one of the most iconic anime series of all time. This crossover sees a selection of characters such as Cassidy, Ashe, and Sombra all receive cosmetics inspired by the characters of Cowboy Bebeop – and it seems even Hammond has been included, receiving a cosmetic based on Ein, the adorable ‘Data Dog’ Corgi. If you’re looking to get your hands on Wrecking Ball’s Ein skin, look no further, as we have all the information you’ll need.
Overwatch 2 – How to Get Wrecking Ball’s Ein Skin (Cowboy Bebop)
Luckily for Wrecking Ball enthusiasts, the Ein skin is free-to-earn during the Overwatch 2’s Season 9 Cowboy Bebop event. This event will only run between March 12, 2024, and March 25, 2024, so be sure to complete all necessary steps within these dates.
To earn Hammond’s Ein skin, all you’ll need to do is work away at your event challenges, and complete eleven of them in total. After this, the Wrecking Ball Ein cosmetic will automatically unlock in your Hero Gallery, where you will be able to equip it and start rolling around the map, Cowboy Bebop style.
