Overwatch 2 offers a new Bastion skin at a bargain price

[ad_1]

Unlike other legendary skins in the Overwatch 2 shop, you won’t have to pay much to get hold of Gingerbread… [+] Bastion.

Blizzard Entertainment

Overwatch 2’s approach to monetization was one of the game’s biggest drawbacks in its first few months. However, Blizzard offers players more ways to add skins to their collection for free, or in the latter case, almost free.

From now until January 3, you can get the new Legendary Gingerbread Bastion skin from the Store for just one Overwatch Coin. As a reminder, you can earn coins through the game’s weekly challenges.

This is amazing skin! I love how adorable Ganymede is here. This look is almost enough to make you forget that Bastion is a weapon capable of brutal destruction. Almost.

If you’ve been playing Overwatch 2 regularly, I’d imagine you’ve accumulated at least a few Overwatch Coins from the weekly challenges, whether or not you were actually focused on completing all 11 every seven days. It still stinks that you can’t earn enough coins to unlock the premium Battle Pass for free every season, but at least this skin could be a nice addition to your collection at a bargain price. I just hope it doesn’t leave you a coin short of something else you end up wanting.

There are a couple of other ways to get skins for free in the coming weeks. Complete certain Arcade Challenges while the Winter Wonderland event is still running and you will get a Brigitte skin. You can also unlock a D.Va pose and legendary skin (if you don’t already own them) via Twitch drops starting December 25th.
