Overwatch content creators have been very busy as of late and now we get another event that hit PC and consoles. This time, it is centered around marksman Ashe and her robot buddy Bob on the newest event called Mardi Gras. Players will be able to earn six sprays, icons and Ashe's Mardi Gras skin. Bob looks cool, too.
What is Mardi Gras?
Players will be able to earn and complete the challenges in Competitive, Arcade Modes or Quick Play (we suggest Quick Play for less stress). If you win three games, you will be able to unlock the player icons, six games get you a new spray and winning a total of nine games awards the Mardi Gras skin you see in the trailer. Blizzard is also going all out on promoting here, with key influencers and streamers participating in the event. If you watch along, you might be able to get something extra.

If you saw our coverage yesterday, the Mardi Gras event follows the recent Experimental Mode card being added into the game for testing. The entire idea behind the experimental card mode is to make several changes to the game that might not eventually make it to the live servers but give the players something to test and try, almost as if you're truly part of the Overwatch Team.
The issue with this new Experimental Mode is that having only one tank on the team puts a lot of additional stress on that particular player. Of course, this matches what Blizzard had intended all along – preventing the game from going stale and switching things up here and there. As this is something in progress at the moment, we'll be keeping our eye on it.
If you need the trailer for the Mardi Gras challenge via Overwatch we've got you covered, now, go get that shiny loot!
