Overwatch 2 has ruined one of Tracer’s most interesting design details

A user named Waasaap has posted a post on Reddit showing a clip comparing the original animation of Tracer with that of Overwatch 2. Although both do the same movement, there is a bug in the current game that is quite obvious. In the first one she keeps the pistols in the holsters on her arm, while in the second one she keeps the pistols in the holsters on her arm. In the second they simply disappear.

What happened to tracer’s holsters in her forearms?

Tracer He has two holsters on his arms where he keeps his pistols when he makes that hand movement. However, In the design of Overwatch 2 they have removed the covers, but they have kept the same animation. For this reason, the guns disappear, even if they are not stored anywhere. Although it is true that because it is such a fast movement, it is not very noticeable. In fact, the user has slowed down the clip so that it can be seen properly.

As you can imagine, many users reacted with surprise. As the samphizz, It was probably something they missed: “They forgot. They probably wanted to simplify the character design and chose to sacrifice that detail.”

However, other users were rather surprised to find that he had holsters to store his weapons. Like, for example, user Dumbo_Octopus4: “Eight years of playing this damn video game and I just discovered that those things on the arms of a gun are actually real!” Tracer “Are these holsters for your guns?!”

Most likely Blizzard I ended up fixing this bug in some update. Will they bring back the covers or just change the animation so it doesn’t do the same gesture?

This wouldn’t be Overwatch’s first “mistake” in Tracer’s design

A few years ago, in 2016, Blizzard removed a pose from Tracer after some community comments labelled it sexist. In this case, it is not a bug as such, but a deliberate design that was ultimately modified in response to criticism.

Regarding Overwatchit is worth mentioning that rumors have recently grown that a new release derived from this franchise is being prepared, due to an update in the profile of LinkedIn from developer Chris McCabe.
