For a long time, Apex Legends Collection Events would only bring Heirlooms as the main attraction, but that all changed in March 2022 with Bloodhound Prestige Skin.
These Mythic-tier cosmetics have three different forms, with the advanced version becoming available to players after racking up enough damage.
Since the Technological Tracker got their Prestige Skin, Bangalore, Wraith, Caustic, Valkyrie, Loba, and Revenant have all received one as well.
However, fan-favourite Wattson is still missing from that list and talented Apex fan Smozebolius decided to change that. Creating a Prestige Skin from scratch for the Static Defender, they appear to have taken inspiration from Marvel Comics' Mysterio.
Apex Legends fans love "beautiful" Wattson Prestige skin idea
Taking to the Apex Legends subreddit, user Smozebolius decided to share their Wattson Prestige Skin design that has taken inspiration from "plasma ball lamps" and, of course, Mysterio from Marvel.
The cosmetic is immediately eye-catching and matches the electric theme perfectly. While anyone wearing this skin likely takes a few more headshots than they'd like, it would be a small price to pay to look that good.
"I think this looks dope," said one user, with another claiming, "So sick, I mostly play Wattson and I'm dumb enough to buy this."
Others took the time to appreciate the "Mysterio" inspiration, even speculating on how cool it would be to see an official collab with Marvel. With the Final Fantasy crossover coming on January 9, we can only hope Respawn has more coming in the pipeline.
Other Apex fans want a Nessie Onsie Wattson Prestige skin
While nearly everyone appreciated the concept, some fans want Respawn to take a more casual approach with Wattson's Prestige Skin. Instead of a serious outfit with electrical effects, they're hoping the devs stick with a simple Nessie Onsie.
"Honestly A Nessie onesie would be perfect," said one user, with another arguing, "Cool idea... Counteridea: Nessie Onesie." Whichever direction Repsawn chooses to go, it's got a high bar to reach, given how brilliant this concept has proven to be - let's hope it's taken a few notes.
