Overwatch 2: 10 Best Brigitte Skins, Ranked

Highlights

• Brigitte is a unique healer in
  Overwatch 2
  , requiring strategic gameplay due to limited heals.
• Brigitte’s skins, like General and Stone, showcase historical and creative themes in her design.
• Skins like Mechanic and Shieldmaiden provide insights into Brigitte’s personal history and heritage.

Brigitte Lindholm is a support hero in Overwatch 2 who uses her mace, shield, and the armor she throws to her allies to combine defense, support, and attack. Along with being the daughter of Overwatch’s resident engineer and turret enthusiast, Torbjorn Lindholm, Brigitte is also an excellent character in her own right.

Brigitte is one of the more complex healers in Overwatch 2, as she doesn’t have an unlimited supply of heals to give out to her team. Because of this, those trying out Brigitte as a playable character will need to play more strategically than they might do with other healers. Like her father, Brigitte has a ton of skins to choose from for players to customize her look, though some skins are more eye-catching than others. With this in mind, we will be looking at some of the best skins for Brigitte that can change her appearance in some exciting and creative ways.

10 General

History Comes Alive

• Epic Skin
• Available in the shop for 750 Credits

Brigitte has had two brilliant skins throughout the years released as part of the Lunar New Year events: Opera and General. As fantastic as Opera is, General makes it onto our list, as it is a skin that is more in line with Brigitte’s role as a defender.

With the General skin, Brigitte wears an outfit reminiscent of the armor worn by soldiers of the Han Dynasty in Chinese history. From the red and gold color scheme to the distinctive helmet, this skin represents the protectors of the Han Dynasty and excellently integrates the design into Brigitte’s character.

9 Stone

Living Statue

• Epic Skin
• Available in the shop for 1000 Overwatch Coins

Brigitte’s Stone skin gives her a new texture that makes her look like she has been either transformed into stone, or was carved out of it. The overall color is gray to replicate that stony appearance, but there are glowing orange accents here and there that emerge from cracks in Brigitte’s armor to give it a molten lava effect.

Brigitte’s eyes also glow orange, and she has intricate details on parts of her armor that look like ithey have been carved into the stone. For those who want an iconic Brigitte skin that isn’t too expensive, this is a great choice.

8 Mechanic

Family Business

• Legendary Skin
• Available in the shop for 1000 Credits

Mechanic was one of the first Legendary skins released for Brigitte in Overwatch, along with the Engineer skin (the same skin, but colored differently). This skin provides an insight into Brigitte’s life before she joined Overwatch, as she was due to be a specialist engineer who worked on defenses and armor.

This skin shows her wearing the outfit she would have donned had she continued on this career path, and it features overalls, goggles, and a bandanna. The blue and yellow Mechanic skin narrowly beats out Engineer, as it features the colors of the Swedish flag, Brig’s home country, making it a little more personal. The skin not only offers a glimpse of Brigitte’s personal history, but it’s also a bit of Overwatch history as well, thanks to being one of her first Legendary skins.

7 Sparkplug

Daddy’s Girl

• Legendary Skin
• Unlocked from completing the Savior of the Underworld mission during the Underworld event in Overwatch 2 Season 6: Invasion (not currently available).

While on the topic of skins that depict Brigitte’s personal history, Sparkplug is another fantastic skin that takes this approach. Brigitte has a shorter hairstyle with this outfit, along with a white headband tied up with a ribbon around her head. She also wears an Ironclad crop top, showing off her family pride, as her father is one of the leading members of the Ironclad Guild in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Brig has armor on her feet, shoulders, one arm, and around her neck when wearing the Sparkplug skin, along with a checkered shirt tied around her waist. Brigitte’s Sparkplug skin is an homage to the nickname her dad gives her, emphasizing the wholesome and personal nature of the outfit.

6 GOAT

Greatest Of All Time

• Legendary Skin
• Available in the Overwatch League shop for 300 League Tokens

The Overwatch League skins are some of the best in Overwatch 2, and Brigitte’s League skin, released for Overwatch 1, is no exception. The GOAT skin references a tactic used constantly during the 2019 Overwatch League, wherein players would opt for a tank-and-healer-only composition. The strategy was sound, but led to unappealing gameplay, hence why role queue was introduced.

Despite being named after a frustrating strategy, Brig’s GOAT skin is far from unappealing. In fact, it’s one of the cleanest skins in the game. Brigitte has various goat motifs built into her armor, such as a goat head on her shoulder armor and goat-like hooves on her feet, as well as goat horns on her head. The blue, white, and silver color scheme emphasizes the skin’s clean cut-nature, while the bright purple hair, styled in a bob, works perfectly with the rest of the color palette. For players with 300 spare Overwatch League Tokens, GOAT Brigitte is a choice they won’t regret.

5 Sól

Knight In Shining Armor

• Epic Skin
• Available in the shop for 1000 Credits

Sól and Máni were, along with Engineer and Mechanic, Brigitte’s first Legendary skins in Overwatch 1, and there is no denying that they are some of her best. Sól beats out Máni on this list only because of the slightly brighter color scheme, which seems more in line with Brigitte’s personality.

Brig’s shield might be small, but she is a hero who thrives when protecting others, and this knightly armor matches that aspect of her character. Sól has a silver and gold color scheme, though it also has hints of purple, such as the tassel on Brig’s helmet and the sash around her waist. The sunburst patterns that adorn the skin give it a little extra intricacy, making it one of Brigitte’s best.

4 Feskarn

Fishy Fashion

• Legendary Skin
• Originally released as a Summer Games skin (not currently available)

Feskarn is one of the best Overwatch 2 skins when it comes to incorporating a theme creatively and interestingly. Brigitte dons a fishing outfit when wearing Feskarn, complete with rubber overalls, fish attached at her hip, netting tied around her waist to replace her sash, rubber gloves, a baseball cap with a fish pic on it, and a flotation device around her neck.

A fun fact about this skin is that many players thought that Feskarn was translated incorrectly, as the Swedish word for fisher is fiskaren or fiskare. However, “feskaren” is how fiskaren is pronounced by those with a Gothenburg accent. Gothenburg is the Swedish city where Brigitte and her dad, Torbjorn, hail from, so the name makes sense in this context. Feskarn is a great, creative skin that fits Brig’s Swedish heritage very well.

3 Antifragile BB

K-Pop Fangirl

• Legendary Skin
• Available in the shop for 1900 Overwatch Coins

Brigitte is one of the few heroes who got a K-Pop skin during the Le Sserafim and Overwatch 2 crossover event, and there is no doubt that it is one of Brigitte’s best. With her Antifragile BB skin, Brigitte wears ripped jeans equipped with armor pads, armored boots, a crop top with the Le Sserafim logo, and white and pink armor on her arm and shoulder. She also wears her hair up in a high ponytail with braids hanging down her face, along with a sweatband.

Brig’s mace gets a cool redesign too, as does her shield. A USB cable comes out of the mace handle, making it look like a rechargeable K-Pop light stick. Antifragile BB is a very fun skin that players can enjoy even if they aren’t up-to-date with their K-Pop knowledge.

2 Shieldmaiden

Viking Princess

• Legendary Skin
• Available in the shop for 1500 Credits

Released as part of the Overwatch Anniversary event in Overwatch 1, Shieldmaiden gives Brigitte a fitting Viking outfit. Rather than her usual waist sash, Brig wears a long, fur-lined coat and leather armor, though she still has some metal armor in places, such as her metal chest plate. She also wears wooden armor on her arms with metal accents.

Brigitte’s hair has been changed to blonde with the Shieldmaiden skin. It is styled in braids and has a blue streak dyed into it, and there are also blue paint streaks on the visible parts of her arms. One of the most noticeable elements of the outfit is the bear’s head on her shoulder. This might be an older skin for Brigitte, but Shieldmaiden is certainly one of the best options, because it not only looks fantastic, but also references the character’s Norse heritage.

1 Vampire Hunter

Vamp Queen

• Legendary Skin
• Available in the shop for 1500 Credits

Vampire Hunter was released as part of one of the Overwatch Halloween events, and it is undoubtedly Brigitte’s best look in Overwatch 2. As with Shieldmaiden, Brigitte’s waist sash is replaced by a long coat with this skin. Her overcoat is greenish-grey and lined with detailed red fabric. She also wears long armored boots with skulls on the knees, armor on her shoulders (also adorned with skulls), long gloves, and a corset-like belted shirt, all of which have red gems that decorate her outfit.

Brig’s skin is much paler with the Vampire Hunter skin equipped, and she has her now-platinum blonde hair tied up in a bun, giving her a look reminiscent of Ciri from The Witcher. Brigitte also has a coffin-shaped shield and the chain of her mace glows green when she uses it. This is a beautiful skin that changes Brigitte’s design and her weapons while still maintaining her personality and character. Vampire Hunter is a must for Brig fans and casual players alike.
