Overwatch 2 Reveals Legendary Skin Rewards for Anniversary Event

Overwatch 2 is offering three free Legendary skins as a part of its second anniversary: Biohazard Ramattra, Bounty Hunter Baptiste, and Infinite Guard: 76. One of these skins, along with a handful of other anniversary cosmetics and Battle Pass experience, will become available each week during the in-game event, with the first batch of objectives live in Overwatch 2 right now.

October 4 marks the second anniversary of Overwatch 2. To celebrate the milestone, Overwatch 2 is holding an event over the next three weeks in which fans can replay popular Arcade game modes, complete challenges, and earn some in-game rewards.

Now that the first week of the event has officially kicked off, players know exactly what sorts of rewards they can earn from the event. By accomplishing a handful of objectives, Overwatch 2 fans can unlock three free Legendary skins: Biohazard Ramattra in the first week, Bounty Hunter Baptiste during the second, and Infinite Guard: 76 starting the third. The weekly reset for Overwatch 2 is on Tuesday, so the second and third batches of challenges will open on October 1 and 8 respectively, with the event itself coming to a close on October 15.

Overwatch 2 Second Anniversary Event Rewards

These skins aren’t the only thing fans can earn during this event. Four player icons – golden portraits of Mauga, Venture, and Juno, along with a 2024 anniversary icon – can be obtained throughout the weeks, plus a Juno keychain spray, and the Hero of 2024 title. Beyond that, fans can earn a total of 38,000 Battle Pass experience by completing these challenges. This can help players complete nearly four tiers on the Overwatch 2 Season 12 Battle Pass, which ends at the same time as the anniversary event.

During each week, a couple of different Overwatch 2 Arcade game modes from the past year are available. Battle of the Beasts and Community Crafted are available in week one, Cosmic Crisis and April Fools 2024 are active in week two, and Mirrorwatch and Prop Hunt are playable in the final week. Playing these game modes is a great way to earn progress on the event challenges, so fans should be sure to partake while they can.

That said, some players are disappointed in this year’s anniversary event. Overwatch 2 did little to hype up the celebration, and hasn’t introduced anything new during it – all the skins are existing Legendary cosmetics from the in-game store, and there is no Overwatch Credits shop like there was last year. While the chance to get free stuff in Overwatch 2 is always appreciated, many fans were expecting something more exciting. Hopefully, Overwatch 2’s events for the holiday season will be able to compensate.
