Reaper or McCree – Overwatch
Overwatch characters will obviously be a huge hit this Halloween and a drinking game based on how many D.Va’s you see in one night will probably give you the hangover of a lifetime. But if you’re looking for an Overwatch character that will be relatively easy to recreate and also be a hit with Halloween party goers who have never even heard of Overwatch, Reaper and McCree are the way to go. On the surface, these characters will look like your usual Halloween costumes — the Grim Reaper and a cowboy. Finding cheap ways to piece together a Reaper or McCree cosplay using pieces from your local costume store should be pretty easy for that very reason. Now you only have to spend money or time on the details that make Reaper and McCree stand out when compared to the Halloween costume cliches at their foundation.
The massive shells strapped to Reaper can actually be recreated by painting small cans (like soup cans) and there are some pretty inexpensive bundles that include his mask and guns. As for McCree, you can easily piece the vast majority of his cosplay together with your usual Western themed costume accessories and create your own “BAMF” belt buckle. If you’re looking for a budget friendly cosplay you’ll likely have to bypass McCree’s metal arm and chest plate but if you toss a fat cigar in your mouth and spend your night reminding people that it’s high noon your point will still get across.
