Changing the rules and blowing things up starts now! Overwatch 2 and NERF have teamed up for a limited-time collaboration that demands quick reflexes, foam battles, and bold fun. From tomorrow until August 18, swap out your arsenal for spring-loaded plastic and foam weapons and dive into the action with new weapon cosmetics, rewards to earn, and a chaotic game mode that gets your heart racing with every elimination.
It’s never been more epic to be NERFed!
Choose Your Toy
The most vibrant and eye-catching armaments you’ve ever seen! The Overwatch x NERF collaboration is packed with weapon skins inspired by some of NERF’s most famous blasters. Cassidy is the star of the collab, featuring a Legendary skin complete with a custom appearance, unique sound effects, the NERF Maverick and—as a bonus—a Vortex Football.
You’ll also find Gelfire Pros for Tracer, a Slingerang and Power Blast Bat for Genji, plus the classic Super Soaker XP100 to help Mei (literally) pressure enemies. Want more? Hanzo wields a Big Bad Bow, Baptiste secured the Galactic Commander—NERF’s latest addition to the Loadout series—and Soldier: 76’s precision turns plastic with the N Series Pinpoint.
Each NERF skin works with your existing hero cosmetics, so no matter your style, your foam ammo stands ready.
It’s NERF or Nothing Mode
This isn’t your average skirmish. It’s a chaotic, frenzied clash where friends and family wield every blaster, bat, or bow found in the garage.
It’s NERF or Nothing is a fast-paced Free-For-All mode where eight players battle it out to reach 20 eliminations for victory. You start with a random hero (except Mercy and Lifeweaver, who sat this one out), and each elimination grants a new one. Some heroes even come equipped with NERF weapon skins to dominate combat. Struggling to secure elims? You’ll swap characters after three deaths. And no repeats: once you’ve played a hero, they’re gone for good.
Cooldowns? What cooldowns? Everyone gets an 80% cooldown reduction, ensuring non-stop action. Ultimate charge carries over after death, and switching heroes starts your Ult at 15%.
The maps? A greatest-hits lineup featuring Château Guillard, Petra, Kanezaka, Malevento, King’s Row, Hollywood, Dorado, Eichenwalde, Blizzard World, and even Paris.
Think of it as a weapon proficiency trial—just way more plastic, less time to think, and foam-flinging NERF chaos everywhere. Adapt or ask to be NERFed.
Battle for the Gear
In this collab, foam-dart fights deliver real rewards. Complete event challenges to unlock a themed spray, player icon, foam dart weapon charm, Tracer’s Gelfire Pro weapon skin, and up to 40K Battle Pass XP. Rewards are exclusive to It’s NERF or Nothing matches, so if you want the goods, you’ve gotta face these challenges head-on.
