Now, Overwatch 2 has begun yet another promotion in which players can score an additional in-game item. From now until June 2 at 9 AM PT, fans who purchase any Overwatch 2 merchandise on the Blizzard Gear Store will receive a code to unlock the Toxic Bastion Legendary skin. This cosmetic transforms Overwatch 2's charming robotic sentry into a horrific machine full of radioactive waste, complete with a human brain in a jar and a plague doctor mask for Ganymede. All Overwatch 2 products qualify for this code, from $15 shirts and $20 mugs to $100 Hammond onesies and $130 military jackets.

How to Get Toxic Bastion Legendary Skin in Overwatch 2

  • Purchase any physical Overwatch 2 merchandise from the Blizzard Gear Store before June 2, 2025, at 9 AM PT
    • Products of all costs qualify for this bonus
  • Wait for a code to arrive via the email provided at checkout
    • It may take up to five business days for the code to be sent
  • Redeem the code via the Battle.net launcher to unlock the Toxic Bastion Legendary skin

Toxic Bastion is a relatively new Legendary Overwatch 2 shop skin originally available during Season 15. It was sold as a part of the Toxic Bundle, which also included a spray, player icon, and name card, along with Toxic Winston and its respective cosmetics. Unfortunately, the matching Toxic Bastion customizations do not appear to be a part of this Blizzard Gear Store giveaway.

While gamers who already own Toxic Bastion won’t receive anything new if they participate in this offer, they could gift the reward code to a friend for them to redeem. Either way, fans who miss out on Toxic Bastion this time may have to wait a while to get him – though Overwatch 2 has historically added old shop skins to Loot Boxes or Hero Gallery, it could be several months to a year or longer before Toxic Bastion will be obtainable again.
