The Overwatch community is always sharing creative skin concepts online, with just about every character being shown some love by talented fans at some point. However, these skin concepts become a lot more common when an Overwatch event is closing in, and one fan has added to the list of unique Halloween Terror ideas.
Thus far, there have been several fresh ideas for this year’s Halloween Terror. A few months back, one fan came up with an idea for Haunted House Bastion, with the building’s chimney serving as the Omnic’s turret. More recently, fans have shared looks for Mercy and Echo, with the heroes becoming a vampire and bat respectively. Now, an Overwatch fan has shown off a concept that transforms Lucio into a demon - and a very specific demon at that.
The spooky Overwatch skin concept comes courtesy of Reddit user Acul4rt, otherwise known as Luca Albrecht. Hellboy Lucio sees the demonic comic character combined with the hero shooter’s cheerful musician, and the result is a stunning outfit that many would surely love to use. Alongside some Reaper-like leg armor and chains around his pants and shoulder, this red Lucio boasts a fiery orange tattoo. The color matches his hair, which is essentially just a burning fire on top of the Support hero’s head.
As expected, the iconic horns of Hellboy are depicted, with Lucio boasting some sharp teeth and unique eyes alongside them. Acul4rt also shows what players would see if they looked at the skin from behind, and this take on Lucio is wearing a tombstone. With the Halloween Terror Victory Poses including tombstones, this is a great touch. However, Acul4rt didn’t stop there, as the fan also reworked Lucio’s signature weapon.
With Lucio’s Sonic Amplifier being so different from the other guns in Overwatch, fans have gotten particularly attached to the sound-shooting weapon. As such, it makes sense that the makeover given to the gun so that it fits the Hellboy aesthetic is so incredible. The fan’s concept gives the weapon a massive eye on its side that resembles Lucio’s own, though the best touch is the weapon’s barrel. Instead of being a speaker, it is a creature’s mouth, with numerous teeth being seen on the end of the gun. With a special skin texture and chains seen on the weapon, it is easily the best part of the concept.
While some Redditors have pointed out that the skin may need to be adjusted since the hair is a bit too similar to the style of Overwatch’s Junkrat, everyone agrees that the design itself is great. Hopefully, the official Halloween Terror 2021 skins that are coming on October 12 will be as good as this fan's concept.
Overwatch is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
