One of the original roster from way back in 2016, Roadhog from Overwatch is a tank with history. While his rework and current build often make him less viable than other tanks (especially in the context of 5v5), he is still a threat in any game. Offering up one-shot potential for squishies, with the danger of hook being an ever-present threat for the enemy team.
Compared to other heroes from the original cast, Roadhog has relatively few skins. However, there are some great ones, especially the more recent releases. If you’re looking to spice up your gameplay with unique looks, Roadhog in Overwatch offers some standout options.
So let’s take a look at the top 7 Roadhog skins you can wear in Overwatch 2 today, even if Roadhog is a C-Tier character.
1. Cyclops
Somewhat understated in its colour palette, this skin makes up for its simplicity through its electric concept. Hog’s cyclops mask, in particular, is hands down his greatest head-piece. Transforming him into a mythological beast which is at once whimsical and iconic, this skin is a standout. While this skin was free to claim from Twitch drops, you can now buy it from the shop!
2. Polar Hog
A more recent shop skin, Polar Hog is a love-it or hate-it kind of skin. With Hog being transformed into a huge polar bear featuring Inuit-style sunglasses, it’s a really fun design. Laced with cultural iconography while transforming Hog’s personality into something somewhat cute, it is for exactly these reasons that some players may not love it.
3. Midas
If you’re looking for something louder, Midas Roadhog is exactly what it sounds like: gold! This Overwatch League skin features plenty of solid gold, black, and orange. The centerpiece of this skin is Hog’s huge golden hook, followed by his flaming head. It’s an impressive one. Fans of bold designs will appreciate the detail in the Roadhog Midas skin.
4. Militia
For fans of a military look, Roadhog’s Militia skin will be a hit. While it’s an old skin at this point, its muted military colours are complemented well by a creepy gas mask and a sharp modern hook. It’s not a loud skin, but it’s a refined one which fits well with both the theme and Hog’s character.
5. Pachimari
In heavy contrast to Clown, Pachimari Roadhog offers a fun alternative personality to Hog. Giving him a bright Kawaii look, turning up as a fan-boy for the pachimari figure who you can find across the Overwatch world. Its bright colours are unassuming and playful, giving Hog a totally different look to his usual gear. The Roadhog Pachimari skin is a fan favorite for gamers looking to add some humor to their matches.
6. Clown
Created for the Halloween Terror event, Clown is truly a horrific sight, even for those not scared of clowns. Not only does Hog don a creepy clown mask, but he has the same mask painted on his belly. Paired with his characteristic grunts and heavy movement, this is a truly intimidating skin.
7. Toa
One of Roadhog’s original skins, this Polynesian-inspired skin is a classic. In particular, his hook looks great adorned with shark teeth. Fortunately, all players can easily buy this one with Credits!
Going The Whole Hog
Roadhog from Overwatch has plenty more great skins. From Lifeguard to Kaiju, Horror Hog to even his default skin, the options are endless. If you’re a fan of fun looks like the Roadhog Pachimari skin or bold designs like the Roadhog Midas skin, there’s something for everyone. What is your favourite Hog skin?
