How Much Does the Overwatch 2 Reinhardt Mythic Weapon Skin Cost?
Needless to say,Reinhardt mains inOverwatch 2should consider picking up the Bound Demon Reinhardt Mythic Weapon Skin. Mythic Shards are a precious commodity, but if there are no Mythic Skins that players feel like buying at the moment, then it wouldn’t hurt to get the Mythic Weapon Skin instead.
