Newcastle – Weekend Killer Legendary skin
Newcastle Weekend Killer Skin draws inspiration from Jason Voorhees, his jacket is colored blue while Jason’s classic outfit is Beige, but the mask is spot on which gets the idea across on first glance
Alter – End Play Legendary skin
Chucky from Child’s Play inspires Alter’s End Play skin, the name of the skin is enough of a hint that Respawn took the inspiration from the famous fictional character, but from her face to her outfit it all just resembles the origin perfectly
Mad Maggie – Cyborg Warlord Legendary skin
Mad Maggie’s skin is inspired by Pinhead from Hellraiser , the face of Mad Maggie matches perfectly to the infamous movie character Pinhead, they even gave her pins across shoulders which is a good artistic touch
Valkyrie – Giddy Glider Legendary skin
Valkyrie’s Giddy Glider might not seem similar at first sight but skin has many references to Harley Quinn, from her different colored double ponytail or her iconic face tattoo which seems to somewhat resemble the popular fictional character
Octane – Nightmare Runner Legendary skin
Octane’s Nightmare Runner skin is inspired by the popular character Freddy Krueger, from his eminent Hat or his iconic sweater which was changed recently with an update, the octane’s mask can deceive players into thinking it doesn’t resemble Freddy since he doesn’t have a mask, it’s due to one of many design challenges that occur when having original characters that are trying to represent someone else
Many players speculate that this change was made due to legal reasons, but since the skin was not available for purchase to players, it most likely wouldn’t cause any issues, the Original skin featured a Red and Purpleish theme on it, and mask was rocking a Pink color which later got changed to orange/yellowish and the jacket was changed to Dark Blue and Dark Purple as can be seen in the image above

Wattson – Porcelain Poppet
Wattson’s Porcelain Poppet skin while it doesn’t resemble any fictional character Respawn seemed to have gone with a unique design for her by giving her a puppet doll look her face/mouth doesn’t have any animations in this skin which seems to fit perfectly with what the team was trying to achieve with this skin
Halloween Lobby
In case you missed it, The Techno Terror Event will feature a spooky lobby in which you can see the District infested with a parasitic plant which was first introduced in lore of season 9 “Legacy” and then it later made debut in Olympus After Dark, but this lobby also add crows and a cool banner animation when u ready up for a match during the ‘Techno Terror’ Collection Event
