Overwatch launches limited-time event Bastion's Brick Challenge

Never Lego.

Throughout the year, Overwatch has hosted some mini-challenges in between and alongside the big seasonal events to let players get some extra limited-time skins for their favourite characters.

Previously we had Ana's Bastet challenge, D.Va's Nano Cola challenge, and more recently the summer challenges to get skins for Reaper, Mei and Reinhardt.

Now players have an opportunity to do the same for Bastion - like the previous events, all you need to do is win nine games in the Quick Play, Competitive or Arcade game modes and you'll be rewarded with Bastion's Brick skin.

Bastion doesn't quite look like his real-life Lego model, but the bright colours are a nice touch all the same.

That's not the only reward however, by winning three games you'll earn yourself two new player icons, and winning six games will get you two new sprays.

If you want even more Bastion cosmetics, you can earn some by watching participating Twitch streamers during the event - two hours gets you one new spray, four hours gets you two new player icons, and six hours rewards you with two more sprays and two more icons.

You can get the Lego-themed (or 'Brick') cosmetics during the event that runs from the 17th to the 30th September.
