Summary
Brigitte Lindholmis a support hero inOverwatch 2who 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 inOverwatch 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.
10General
History Comes Alive
Brigitte has had two brilliant skins throughout the years released as part of the Lunar New Year events: Opera andGeneral. As fantastic as Opera is, General makes it onto our list, as it is a skin that is more in line withBrigitte’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.
9Stone
Living Statue
Brigitte’s Stone skingives 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 aniconic Brigitteskin that isn’t too expensive, this is a great choice.
8Mechanic
Family Business
Mechanicwas one of the first Legendary skins released for Brigitte inOverwatch, along with the Engineer skin (the same skin, but colored differently). This skin provides an insight into Brigitte’s life before she joinedOverwatch, as she was due to be a specialist engineer who worked on defenses and armor.
This skin showsher 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 ofOverwatchhistoryas well, thanks to being one of her first Legendary skins.
7Sparkplug
Daddy’s Girl
While on the topic of skins that depictBrigitte’s personal history,Sparkplugis 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.
6GOAT
Greatest Of All Time
TheOverwatchLeagueskins are some of the best inOverwatch 2, and Brigitte’s League skin, released forOverwatch 1, is no exception. TheGOATskin references a tactic used constantly during the 2019OverwatchLeague, 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 spareOverwatchLeague Tokens, GOAT Brigitte is a choice they won’t regret.
5Sól
Knight In Shining Armor
Sóland Máni were, along with Engineer and Mechanic, Brigitte’s first Legendary skins inOverwatch 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.
4Feskarn
Fishy Fashion
Feskarnis one of the bestOverwatch 2skins 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 isfiskarenorfiskare. However, “feskaren” is howfiskarenis pronounced by those with a Gothenburg accent. Gothenburg is the Swedish city where Brigitte andher 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.
3Antifragile BB
K-Pop Fangirl
Brigitte is one of the fewheroes who got a K-Pop skinduring the Le Sserafim andOverwatch 2crossover event, and there is no doubt that it is one of Brigitte’s best. With herAntifragile 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.
2Shieldmaiden
Viking Princess
Released as part of theOverwatchAnniversary event inOverwatch 1,Shieldmaidengives 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.
1Vampire Hunter
Vamp Queen
Vampire Hunterwas released as part of one of theOverwatchHalloween events, and it is undoubtedly Brigitte’s best look inOverwatch 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 fromThe 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.
