Hi just confused on how this works, haven’t been playing OW2 as much because I’m exclusively F2P but my mates just got a PlayStation and its a great “free” game. Anyway logged on and was checking out skins and now I can buy legendary skins with the white currency? Is it just in the hero gallery? Can I save up and buy items from the shop???
You can buy legendary skins from OW1 and some base legendary from OW2 with the white currency. Sometimes, Blizzard will occasionally put credit shop up with new skins for limited time duration, but these skins are extremely limited in selection. People predict only skins that doesn’t sell that well end up being available this way, but obviously there are no confirmation or deny of that prediction.
So far, that shop only goes up during anniversary and only 6 legendary skins and 3 epics are available during that time period. And it goes up again during Halloween but this time with only 1 new skin.
OK its a shame so much of OW2 is hidden behind a paywall. There’s no point in playing without friends because I don’t unlock anything unless I pay
Everything that is actual gameplay content except for the story missions which suck ass and I wish I didn’t buy it is up for free.
For cosmetics, there’s actually free skins, highlight intro, victory pose given away every once in a while.
As you can see here, there’s actually massive amount of cosmetics they giveaway for free. It’s more than a lot of non-gacha game I’ve play anyways. And you can get 250 credits a week and that’s pretty much 6 weeks for a skin + 1500 credits every 2 months from battle pass for 1 more skin.
Not sure what the link is for but thanks for explaining it anyways
