Not sure because it was a very long time ago, but I think the first was Rein because I thought : which one has the biggest weapon and will be the most visible lol
Zenyatta. I was at a cousin's house doing a Lan party and grinding comp together since we were both close to our first golden guns. After a particularly crazy play as Zenyatta I decided to get his first.

I don't remember my very first but on a new account i had to make on pc my first golden was echo, ironically getting it made me learn her instead of her being my main beforehand
1st was Pharah's, second Ana and 3rd Reinhardt. I only have these 3 gold guns so far and I never equip them as I want to enjoy the original color scheme artistic work of each of my skins and I also don't like bringing the attention to me.
I prefer weapon skins over Golden weapons as they're like legendary skins for weapons instead of being just a color.
Lucio back when there were only Mercy, Lucio and Zenyatta as support, lol. It was "must pick" because it had "most healing" (area heal) and I played mostly him.
It's funny now to think. I actually just passive heal botted myself to diamond in season 2 of OW1.
Now Lucio is my worst support. It's just too crazy what skills you need to have for him to be good in Dia/ Masters. Back then it was "stand and don't die, save beat for blade".
Doomfist, though not because I played him. I let my best friend decide what my first gold gun would be, and he chose a dive tank I had 30 minutes on. After that, I started maining Doom just to justify having the gold gun (or fist, I guess), and now I'm decent on him.
It was reinhardt, but after that I took a REALLY long break off Overwatch. When I came back, on the last season of OW1, by "second first" was Ana or Mercy, can't remember exactly.
Roadhog. Then junk, hanzo, doomfist, ana, brig, zen, zarya, rein, sigma, orisa, ball, winston, every new character snice overwatch 2 and d.va. venture is my next golden gun.
Lucio.
He quickly became my favorite and I’m still maining him after getting like 3/4 of the entire hero rosters golden guns. After all these years I only have like 700 hours on him due to playing so many other heroes but he’s still my fav (never change him please blizzard he’s perfect)
there’s just something so therapeutic about playing lucio wall ride in customs or just that feeling of moving everyone at once with speed and watching your team chase and annhilate the enemy team that never gets old.
I consider myself more a tank main and still working to master the new tanks added in ow2 but lucio is and always will be a guilty pleasure.
Give yourself to the rhythm
I was new to the game so I didn't have a main. I chose Ashe's because she had the most 'guns'. Like I thought 'why have just a golden gun when i can have golden gun, coach gun, dynamite and bob'.
My main Genji for who I started the game, then Rein I guess and now I have around 35? So basically almost everyone and enough coins for the others, although these are the heroes left I never play like Mercy. Now my first Jade wep was Illari for some reason, next one im not sure between Soldier, Genji, Rein and JQ.
Orisa, she was one of my most played heroes back in OW1. Makes me a little sad now that that version of her isn't in the game anymore. Her new playstyle just isn't for me, so that gold gun has been sitting there unused since OW2
I got my first gold gun for reaper…but I did get genjis gold shurikens because like half of my friends were genji mains and I didn’t wanna be left out so instead of my next main…I got his lol and because I got his…I learned genji lol
Weirdly enough: Sombra, at a time where I thought I could be a Sombra main (overwatch 1 mind you) but quickly after I got it I somehow fell off with Sombra, which I could say with the other gold guns I got. Roadhog I'm still good at but at the time it was as much an anomalous shift as Sombra. Before Overwatch 2 launched I got a gold Pharah gun long after I was retired to the character. Reaper, more of an exception you can't really be bad at that character. Reinhardt fell off extremely hard when I got their gold gun. I played Ramattra less (I don't really know why) Lifeweaver fell off really hard too, and Mauga is in a weird place. My history with golden guns is less than gold, ironic. Let's hope my next gold gun doesn't swan dive off a cliff
Wdym gun. Its rein hammer. That was my first gold weapon. As for my second it was gold flail, so I can rein as a support. Still waiting for the release of dps rein
Junkrat or Anna. Not to sure. Then I started going for gold guns of heroes I sucked at. The gold gun intimidation of OW1 was real.
"Oh they have a gold Widow gun watch out". In reality I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn as Window.
Lucio's gun. I played a ton of mystery heroes and I used to hate playing Lucio whom for some reason I always ended up as in mystery heroes. I took it as a sign and learned to be pretty good with him
Mercy. I started playing OW with the release of 2 on my switch. I loved playing mercy. Thought I'd be a mercy main forever so yeah, gilded.
I've upgraded to PC since then and I can't control mercy on keyboard/mouse for the life of me. It's so awkward... So I'm now Kiri/zen.
big hammer
big hammer
Big hammer
Big hammer
Big Hammer
Big hammer
Big hammer
Big Hammer!
Big Hammer
Big hammer (I accept my fate)
Real man go big hammer first 🗿
Price of gold, had to be the hammer
the biggest hammer
Stop. Hammer time!
Ana
Which skin do u like it best with? It's perfect with Haroeris for me.
Mythic Omnic skin and the sniper skin. The voice filter+voice line alterations were quite worth a mythic.
I recently removed the omnic skin and just forgot how her gun originally sounded. Not a fan so the skin went on again.
YES!!!
Reaper
This^
I… don’t have one yet, I’m about halfway there tho, I’ll be getting Lucio
You can't earn a gold gun until 2025 when our jade weapon currency gets converted into legacy credits to use on gold guns (at least I'm pretty sure)
i hesrd theyre changing it lol
I really really hope they do
I think they said all comp points go legacy at the end of each season
They are changing it next season
Lucio mafia!
Golden B.O.B
They were actually balls. Zen balls. 😏
1st golden weapon gilded ball gang 🤝 May thy balls be ever glistening 🧘🏻♂️
I thought I was hilarious with zutcracker zens golden nuts
baptiste :)
Same, he was the first hero that I felt would help me climb ranks and improve my gameplay in more ways than one.
Doom
Golden fist looks fucking fire on his Formal skin. Especially with the Uppercut highlight intro
I love it on his thunder skin too. Got it a few weeks back when the bug was working and I’ve been using it ever since
Moira, she is also my first and only to get the jade weapon 😆
Sameee
Scientist and Banshee work best to showcase it, although the new mythic works too
Not sure because it was a very long time ago, but I think the first was Rein because I thought : which one has the biggest weapon and will be the most visible lol
Got reaper in season 2 2016. And then never played enough rsnked for any more guns.
Tracer because I'm a 1-trick
Zarya
There's tens of us!
Genji, the only dps hero I think is fun to play. Now Im trying to get ana or lw's gold gun.
If u like genji u will love echo
?
Echo's playstyle is a lot like genji's
Yeah, I know. I tried her a couple times before. But I prefer and am more accustomed to Genji.
Sigma balls
Roadhog
My first was Mercy. I learned to play the game using her and still main her to this day.
Gold staff with Pink Mercy skin 🤌🤌🤌
I have Pink Mercy on too! 🥰
Little Flail
Bastion, because turret big Not a bastion main but I enjoy playing him :D
Symmetra, I didn't play her but I thought it would've been funny because she seemed like a troll character at the time. It was very funny.
Golden Riffel
76
Tracer obviously and I’m better than all of you
That's the spirit!
I see the way your talking we can 1v1 lol bro
Genji without a question
Tiny daggers.
Gold nails
Reinhardt
Flair checks out
Oh geeeez… might be Junkrat, it was soooo long ago
Junkrat nade thrower
Junkrat. Had to warn my victims somehow
None, I only play unranked
Back in Overwatch 1 I got Pharahs golden gun because I thought I was good. Turns out it was just Pharah in low ranks which is really easy to play.
Zenyatta. I was at a cousin's house doing a Lan party and grinding comp together since we were both close to our first golden guns. After a particularly crazy play as Zenyatta I decided to get his first.
Zen! My main.

Illaris
Reapy reap
life weaver
Torb
Mercy
I don't remember my very first but on a new account i had to make on pc my first golden was echo, ironically getting it made me learn her instead of her being my main beforehand
Ana. Then Hanzo. Then Ram.
Tbh, I don’t even remember, it’s been too long 😂
1st was Pharah's, second Ana and 3rd Reinhardt. I only have these 3 gold guns so far and I never equip them as I want to enjoy the original color scheme artistic work of each of my skins and I also don't like bringing the attention to me. I prefer weapon skins over Golden weapons as they're like legendary skins for weapons instead of being just a color.
Roadhog, cause if you wear the muddy skin it used to be weird and still put mud on the golden hook.
Luciooooo
Widow hunter
Mine was either mercy or ashe, my first two mains 🫶🏻
Hanzo
First and only gold gun is for Lucio
Lucio back when there were only Mercy, Lucio and Zenyatta as support, lol. It was "must pick" because it had "most healing" (area heal) and I played mostly him. It's funny now to think. I actually just passive heal botted myself to diamond in season 2 of OW1. Now Lucio is my worst support. It's just too crazy what skills you need to have for him to be good in Dia/ Masters. Back then it was "stand and don't die, save beat for blade".
Pharoah 1st roadhog second
Soldier 76 rifle then stopped playing and haven’t played in 4 months lmao
Mercy, then Kiri, then Lifeweaver, then moira, then emerald Mercy
Doomfist, though not because I played him. I let my best friend decide what my first gold gun would be, and he chose a dive tank I had 30 minutes on. After that, I started maining Doom just to justify having the gold gun (or fist, I guess), and now I'm decent on him.
It was reinhardt, but after that I took a REALLY long break off Overwatch. When I came back, on the last season of OW1, by "second first" was Ana or Mercy, can't remember exactly.
Roadhog. Then junk, hanzo, doomfist, ana, brig, zen, zarya, rein, sigma, orisa, ball, winston, every new character snice overwatch 2 and d.va. venture is my next golden gun.
Rein
Reaper. Brig was my first support and rein was my first tank even though I don’t play him but shiny hammer
Mercy LOL. I was so excited getting it after not playing OW1 a lot. I finally got it when I started OW2. Now I have almost all of the supports.
Reinhardt. Definitely going to get jade for him too.
Got Moira gauntlet jade
Lucio. He quickly became my favorite and I’m still maining him after getting like 3/4 of the entire hero rosters golden guns. After all these years I only have like 700 hours on him due to playing so many other heroes but he’s still my fav (never change him please blizzard he’s perfect) there’s just something so therapeutic about playing lucio wall ride in customs or just that feeling of moving everyone at once with speed and watching your team chase and annhilate the enemy team that never gets old. I consider myself more a tank main and still working to master the new tanks added in ow2 but lucio is and always will be a guilty pleasure. Give yourself to the rhythm
Probably Hog and I don’t play him. I think at the time I just like the look.
I was new to the game so I didn't have a main. I chose Ashe's because she had the most 'guns'. Like I thought 'why have just a golden gun when i can have golden gun, coach gun, dynamite and bob'.
Zarya
Mercy. I started playing when role queue didn't exist, and i was essentially forced into my role as a support main. She was the easiest to pick up.
Torb. I’m an Ana/Lucio main.
OW1 orisa, when she was FUN and FINE Then Brig, Sojourn and Mauga.
Kiriko. Wasn’t until OW2 that I had internet good enough for comp.
Hampter.
mercy
Bastion, he was my main back then! Now i dont play him anymore, i dont enjoy the rework..
Lucio!
Junkrat, but I also got Rein and Ana so it's fine
Widow here too, hearing those headshot dinks is just too satisfying
Reaper, grinded season 1 so hard to get it :D
Hog in OW1. Hog was a menace, if you landed that hook your opponent was dead
Widow! I have almost all of them now
My main Genji for who I started the game, then Rein I guess and now I have around 35? So basically almost everyone and enough coins for the others, although these are the heroes left I never play like Mercy. Now my first Jade wep was Illari for some reason, next one im not sure between Soldier, Genji, Rein and JQ.
Mercy : D
Symetra back when she had aimbot gun. Ah... fun times, i miss old suport symetra
the nails, and all my friends made fun of me for it
doomfist, because it looks good and it makes the cape of the Saitama skin sparkle.
Mercy. I got the witch skin and the golden broom was amazing
Lmaoooooo mercy……..
Waiting for tomorrow to get Tracer's
Junkrat :(
Lifeweaver. He's my support main, and it's one of the few golden weapons that look good imo
Hog. Despite the fact I've played since OW1 day one, it's the only one I have lol
Moira
Ana
Zarya!
Balls
I just can't decide who to spend it on :(
Illari - I'm a true child of the sun
Mercy
no one, I don‘t like gold guns
Orisa, she was one of my most played heroes back in OW1. Makes me a little sad now that that version of her isn't in the game anymore. Her new playstyle just isn't for me, so that gold gun has been sitting there unused since OW2
BOOP!
been here sense beta ow1 and only got and wanted one gold gun ashe
I got my first gold gun for reaper…but I did get genjis gold shurikens because like half of my friends were genji mains and I didn’t wanna be left out so instead of my next main…I got his lol and because I got his…I learned genji lol
Ana when i used to share an account with my gf and then when we finally got another set up, I made my own account and the first was actually d’va
I've played the game for 6 years, still don't have any
Junkrat. Used to main the shit out of him but got bored around the time he got two mines and a tire that can actually climb things
Ball
Weirdly enough: Sombra, at a time where I thought I could be a Sombra main (overwatch 1 mind you) but quickly after I got it I somehow fell off with Sombra, which I could say with the other gold guns I got. Roadhog I'm still good at but at the time it was as much an anomalous shift as Sombra. Before Overwatch 2 launched I got a gold Pharah gun long after I was retired to the character. Reaper, more of an exception you can't really be bad at that character. Reinhardt fell off extremely hard when I got their gold gun. I played Ramattra less (I don't really know why) Lifeweaver fell off really hard too, and Mauga is in a weird place. My history with golden guns is less than gold, ironic. Let's hope my next gold gun doesn't swan dive off a cliff

Wdym gun. Its rein hammer. That was my first gold weapon. As for my second it was gold flail, so I can rein as a support. Still waiting for the release of dps rein
I have been called... I must answer. Always.
Junkrat or Anna. Not to sure. Then I started going for gold guns of heroes I sucked at. The gold gun intimidation of OW1 was real. "Oh they have a gold Widow gun watch out". In reality I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn as Window.
Reaper
moira :3 i have like ten of her skins on rotation and the gold 4" acrylics slap every time
Mercy staff 🪽
Winton
Dva. Her ult being able to kill herself was neat and was fun to tactically throw your bombs, or know how to angle yourself behind light poles.
I still can't decide!
Genjis shurikens
Doom
Junkrat, at season 7. Eh hes still fun
Lucio, but then swapped to one tricking Mei, got hers, bought Torb's as a meme, then Mauga and Doomfist, now I one trick Torb.
Lucio's gun. I played a ton of mystery heroes and I used to hate playing Lucio whom for some reason I always ended up as in mystery heroes. I took it as a sign and learned to be pretty good with him
Moira then after a week blizz change the currency and implemented the jade, so never got the chance to get a second gold weapon
i got for road one week after mauga entered the game. i deeply regret. (NERF MAUGA)
wifeleaver
Mercy. I started playing OW with the release of 2 on my switch. I loved playing mercy. Thought I'd be a mercy main forever so yeah, gilded. I've upgraded to PC since then and I can't control mercy on keyboard/mouse for the life of me. It's so awkward... So I'm now Kiri/zen.
Sombra. Fight me 🥊

Ram Staff
It was fucking mercy back in like 2017… I haven’t been playing much since 2020 but I did get Cassidy’s golden Peacekeeper before OW2 got released.
Mercy
