Yea this mythic is kind of lame

Wanted to wait until I unlocked the full thing to be sure.

Having a 3rd gun is nice, but in exchange it has only 3 customizable parts instead of the usual 4

And the headwear and body armor are tied together for some dumb reason, so you’re basically forced to wear the knight helmet if you don’t really lame armor. I get it’s supposed to be an RPG character leveling up, but it just creates the feeling that 2 of the options are meant to be objectively worse than the others

In terms of special visual effects, the gem in the armor glows, but only if you’re wearing the hood or helmet. There’s also a cool effect in the intro screen where your armor gets upgraded, but only if you’re wearing the hood or helmet. The pulse bomb sparkles a bit, it’s neat but underwhelming compared to the orbital laser strike that sigma got last season. I don’t think there was much they could do visually with pulse bomb to be fair

Sound wise, the new effects are rather subtle and some of the voicelines are just ripped out of the dialogue from the questwatch thing and sound awkward outside of that context.

And then the base design just doesn’t feel mythical in the same way the others do. If I didn’t already know about them and you just showed me a screenshot of this skin and Tracer’s old All Stars skin, I’d assume the all stars one was the mythic. The other ones felt like perfect matches for their theme too. Space Opera featuring sigma as the ruler of a fascist galactic empire is perfect, Asian mythology featuring kiriko as the Japanese sun goddess is perfect, but high fantasy with tracer as just a knight, it simply doesn’t have that same feeling

The 2nd level ones aren’t bad

Personally, I think Tracer as a character is just too awkward to make a Mythic for. And it’s really dumb they gave her two Mythic slots for what is essentially an upgrade to her base Mythic. If you were to tell me her Mythic was a Legendary, I’d believe you because to me, that’s what it looks like; a Legendary.

At least Sigma’s gave some flair and feels like a Mythic skin.

Overall it just feels like more pandering to the face of the game. It’s like giving Master Chief a glow up and calling it a Mythic skin. It just doesn’t work.

I’m personally a fan of this Mythic immensely. Sigma as a 2nd runnerup.
Whilst it could’ve been handled differently i don’t think it lacks in overall value considering what you see most of the time is your guns and we got a third option this time around.

Woah, just like the real deal!

Jokes aside, I agree. The mythic kinda feels more like multiple drafts of a single legendary than a full Mythic. The Tracer mythic doesn’t feel like it has that visual oomph to it, as far as I can tell there’s no added visual or audio effects like the previous 3. New voice lines, I think, but that’s it.

The recall and reload noise are a bit different. The pulse bomb has some sparkles in it. The gem has some particles glowing out that change based on your color. That’s all I could see though
