The new Lifeguard Mercy skin and accompanying highlight intro will have players looking and feeling like C.J. Parker in their competitive games. And whenever she earns play of the game, you best believe everyone in your lobby will stick around to see that dramatic slow-motion run.

The tribute to Pamela Anderson’s famous TV role isn’t a part of the season five battle pass, though. Instead, players must purchase it during the Summer Games event to get their hands on the cosmetic.

The Lifeguard Mercy skin was added to the game’s shop on Tuesday, July 11, and players can purchase it as a part of a bundle that includes four items for 2,600 OW coins. The legendary skin will also come with a Rescue Run highlight intro that shows Mercy running in slow motion to save someone’s life. It will come with a Lifebuoy weapon charm and Lifebuoy spray, too.
