Overwatch 2: 10 Best Tracer skins in 2025: Top cosmetics for Lena Oxton

Overwatch’s Tracer is a particularly popular hero in the ever-growing roster of Overwatch characters. During the era of the first game, Tracer was often used as the face of the game, hence why she became such a beloved hero. Because of this popularity, Tracer has plenty of skins for players to choose from. 

Some of these skins came about during Overwatch 1, but there is also a range of Overwatch 2 skins for Tracer that are just as impressive. Not all skins are as good as others, though. With this in mind, let’s check out some of the absolute best Overwatch 2 Tracer skins. 

As mentioned, we’re going to be looking at some of the best Tracer skins in Overwatch 2 as of the time of writing. These skins are well designed and look great, but they also reflect Tracer’s personality well and/or put a unique spin on her lore to create a distinctive skin for her.

Nezha was released as a Lunar New Year skin in Overwatch 1, and, as with most of the Lunar New Year skins, it has strong ties to Chinese mythology. Nezha is a protective and rebellious young deity in Chinese folklore. He is fearless and hotheaded, acting as a guardian to the rebels and misfits in society. Choosing Tracer to embody this deity with her Nezha skin was a bold choice, but one that works well, thanks to Tracer’s energetic personality and her desire to protect. 

The design of the skin is excellent, reflecting some of Nezha’s most notable features, such as his hair buns. Tracer also has flames emerging from her arms, which represent Nezah’s ability to travel on flaming wheels.  Nezha is creative, yet truthful to real Chinese mythology, making it a great Tracer skin. 

Tracer’s British heritage is lovingly referenced with this Constable skin, which is arguably one of the most fun skins for her in Overwatch 2. Constable features a full British police officer’s uniform for Tracer as well as some funky facial hair. The stereotypical British bobby is out in full force with this skin, and it makes for a lighthearted and silly skin that is one of Tracer’s best. 

Tracer’s infamous “cheers love, the cavalry’s here” voice line comes to life with this next skin. With Cavalry, Tracer dons an outfit similar to those worn by British colonial cavalry officers, bringing some of her British heritage and history into the outfit, much like with her Constable skin. It is also a fun reference to that aforementioned voiceline, which is a nice touch. 

Cadet Oxton is one of the skins released for the Overwatch Archives event. It depicts Tracer in her early days when she was a cadet at Overwatch, linking in to her backstory and her role as a newbie during the Omnic invasion. The skin links strongly to Tracer’s lore, but it is also well designed and emphasises Tracer’s role as a rookie as well as her desire to prove herself. 

The origins of Tracer’s “blinking” powers are referenced with this next skin, making it a great choice of cosmetic in terms of lore. As a highly talented fighter pilot, Tracer was chosen to test drive a jet with teleportation abilities called Slipstream. An error caused the teleportation drive to malfunction, causing Tracer to disappear completely. She reappeared after several  months, but continued to fade in and out of existence due to “chronal disassociation.” Winston developed and built her chronal accelerator, which allowed Tracer to stay in the current timeline while gifting her with her blinking capabilities. 

The Slipstream skin is a reference to Tracer’s ill-fated journey in the Slipstream jet, but it is also a well-detailed recreation of the flight suit she is seen wearing in the Tracer Origin Story video, which depicts the events that led to her becoming an Overwatch hero. She is also missing her chronal accelerator with this skin, as it is based on the events leading up to her needing it. This makes it particularly unique, though players can of course still use her powers when this skin is equipped. 

The Mirrorwatch skins in Overwatch 2 are a series of skins that depict alternate versions of the Overwatch 2 characters, where the heroes are the villains and vice versa. In the Mirrorwatch world, Tracer becomes bitter and hateful from her experience in the Slipstream jet, causing her to turn to the villainous Talon to help her find revenge. 

Not only is this an interesting idea for Tracer, but the skin itself is also fantastic. It has unique voice lines and a design that is similar to some of Tracer’s other skins, but with a menacing vibe, such as the inclusion of red eyes and the Talon color palette. 

One of the older Legendary skins for Tracer is the Halloween-themed Will-O’-Wisp skin, and it remains one of the absolute best Tracer skins. Will-O’-Wisp was released for the Halloween Terror event, and it redesigns Tracer to look like a classic will-o’-wisp from folklore. These wisps are ghostly lights that are often seen by travelers, sometimes guiding them when they are lost. This links well to Tracer’s backstory and her chronal disassociation, which effectively turned her into a ghost who couldn’t control when she disappeared and reappeared. Missing special moments like these? We’ve also asked what’s happened to Overwatch’s limited-time events. 

Will-O’-Wisp also has an amazing design, turning her skin, eyes, and hair a pale, ghostly turquoise. She also has a glowing pumpkin on her chest in place of her chronal accelerator. This is one of the cleverest Tracer skins that manages to link back to her lore while being an effective Halloween skin.  

Tracer’s Mythic Adventurer skin is a customizable treat that allows players to significantly change up her look (as long as they purchased all the skin tiers with Mythic prisms). The fantasy adventure theme suits Tracer’s design excellently, especially the elf-like ears. 

Players can choose to have her wear more armor, including a helmet, depending on their customization preferences. There are also some fun, fantasy-like sound effects with this skin, making it a top choice for Tracer. 

Released as part of the limited-time Tracer’s Comic Challenge in 2020, the Comic Book skin is the perfect example of how simplicity can often be the most effective strategy with Overwatch skins. 

Coinciding with the release of the Tracer–London Calling comic, the skin shows off panels of said comic in Tracer’s outfit. It also features comic-themed buzzwords etched onto her guns and pistols. Tracer also gets a white hair style that is less spiky than her usual hairdo and a pink and blue color palette. Despite the simple design focusing on cross-promotion for Tracer’s comic, it works exceedingly well, becoming one of Tracer’s best skins in Overwatch 2. 

One of the coolest skins in Overwatch 2 has to be Tracer’s Graffiti skin, which reimagines her as a rebellious graffiti artist with spray paint guns. The overall design of the skin is pretty perfect, as Tracer dons a gas mask and wears her hood up to emphasize the anonymous street artist vibes. It’s also a skin that is highly popular among fans, so much so that it has received several recolors. 

This is another simple skin that manages to be Tracer’s best skin, thanks to how well the look suits her character and how effectively the design elements come together to make her look like a proper graffiti artist. 

There is no doubt that Tracer has some pretty awesome Overwatch 2 skins. However, the ones listed above stand out for their interesting designs, links to Tracer’s lore and heritage, and their creativity, making them well worth a look for Tracer mains and general Overwatch fans. Oxton isn’t the only OW character we’re fond of, though; we’ve also ranked top skins for Kiriko and Mercy as well.
