Overwatch 2’s Spooky Season has kicked off. Thank goodness, Blizzard didn’t remove one of our favourite events with the Overwatch 2 update. However, some things have changed this year, which will not please everyone. To alleviate some of your concerns: Yes, there are free rewards as well. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2022 Halloween Terror event, including how to get free rewards and spooky new skins.
The Halloween Terror event began on October 25 and will end on November 9.
Everything New in Overwatch 2’s Halloween Event
Blizzard has eventually and officially announced this year’s Halloween Terror event in a recently posted blog post. For the past six years, all Halloween collectables such as spooky skins and spays have been awarded for completing challenges or made available in event loot boxes. However, now that Overwatch 2 is free to play and features a battle pass system with numerous in-game purchases, the annual event appears to be a little different this year.
The worst-case scenario has occurred. Apart from a few twitch drops, it is nearly impossible to obtain Halloween items without spending actual money. Of course, all previous Halloween-themed items will be available for purchase throughout the event.
This year’s Halloween Terror event includes the following new features:
- Legendary Executioner Junker Queen Skin
- New PvE Mode – Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride.
- Legendary Witch Kiriko Skin
- Legendary Cursed Captain Reaper Skin
- Halloween Themed Collectables
The latest PvE Mode is a 4-player co-op sequel to Junkenstein’s Revenge’s original game mode. kiriko, Sojourn, Ashe and Junker Queen appear to be the playable heroes showing pure female power.
Get Free Halloween Skins
The fact that you can just hardly get anything without going to spend actual cash on Overwatch 2 is something that everyone despises. Legendary skins are extremely costly. The majority of them cost around 1900 or 2000 Overwatch money, which is about 20 USD which is insane, right? Let’s see what the prizes are for Halloween event skins this year.
At the very least, Blizzard added a few Twitch Drops and free stuff for us, so everyone has a chance to receive something for free. Players can obtain the Cursed Captain Reaper Skin free as an apology for the botched launch of Overwatch 2.
We may not receive skins as a reward for completing in-game challenges, but we do receive Twitch Drops! They will be available on all channels streaming Overwatch 2 from October 25 to 6 November at 11:00 a.m.
After two hours of watching your favourite Twitch streamers, you will be guaranteed a Werewolf Winston spray and the iconic Werewolf Winston skin.
