Overwatch takes its medicine with Mercy's Recall Challenge

Published , by Ozzie Mejia

Overwatch might be gearing up for its eventual sequel, but that doesn't mean the original game is going to stop turning anytime soon. Blizzard is continuing to run regular events for its team-based shooter, with the latest one centering around everyone favorite medic, Mercy. A day after releasing a special short story diving deeper into the angelic hero's backstory, Blizzard is now kicking off Mercy's Recall Challenge.

Starting today, Overwatch players will have a chance to earn a slew of cosmetics for their accounts and for their Mercy. There are sprays, player icons, and a special Legendary skin at stake. So let's take a look at how those can be earned.

The Dr. Ziegler skin looks less like Mercy and more like her civilian identity of Angela Ziegler, complete with doctor's attire. Overwatch players can add up to six more sprays to their accounts if they jump on Twitch and watch select Overwatch Twitch streamers. Two hours unlocks one spray, four hours adds another two sprays, and six hours tacks on three more sprays for a total of six. You can learn more about which streamers to watch and when they'll be broadcasting over on the Overwatch website.

Those looking to learn more about Mercy and her backstory as a doctor can check out the Valkyrie short story that was released on Monday. Mercy's Recall Challenge is set to run from now through December 2. Start piling up those cosmetics, because as a reminder, all of it can come with you to Overwatch 2 whenever it releases.
