Skins are cosmetics that modify the appearance of a hero by changing their outfit, color scheme, and/or weapon.
See following pages for full lists of skins:
- Heroes skins - Hero skins
- OWL Skins - Overwatch League team skins
Rarity tiers[ | ]
Each hero has several skins from each cosmetic rarity tier. Each rarity tier is as follows:
- Common - The base cosmetic and original appearance of a hero. Common skins are unlocked by default, and each hero has two (except for Echo and heroes added after the release of Overwatch 2).
- Rare - Rare skins are simple re-colorings of the default skin. Each hero has four Rare skins that change the primary color of the hero's default skin. Rare skins are only obtainable in the hero gallery, and will never appear in the shop.
- Epic - Epic skins are either advanced re-colorings of the base appearance of a hero, or colorings with slight three dimensional additions. As a whole, these skins do not drastically alter the silhouette of a hero. Epic skins are obtainable by progressing through the Battle Pass, completing challenges, or by purchasing them in the shop or hero gallery.
- Legendary - Legendary Skins are skins which drastically alter the hero's silhouette, changing their weapon model, colors, and outfit. Legendary skins are obtained via challenges, progressing through the Battle Pass, or by purchasing them from the shop.
- Mythic - Mythic skins were added in Overwatch 2. Each Battle Pass season has a Mythic skin available for it that corresponds to the season's theme, and the skin has multiple layers that can be customized. Mythic skins' full customization options are unlocked as the player progresses through the Battle Pass, with the final level unlocking all options.
Legendary and Mythic skins may alter a hero's Voice Lines.
Methods of obtaining[ | ]
There are a total of 574 skins in the game.
There are several methods of obtaining skins in Overwatch 2:
- Overwatch Coins can be obtained by purchasing them from the in-game shop or the battle.net shop. Overwatch Coins can also be obtained by completing weekly challenges.
- Overwatch Credits , previously known as "Legacy Credits," were obtained from Loot Boxes or playing the Role Queue mode in Overwatch.
- As of Season 3, players are able to earn credits again. Players can earn 1500 Credits throughout the season, and another 500 Credits through the season's Battle Pass. Nearly all Epic and Legendary skins released prior to Overwatch 2 are always available in the hero gallery for purchase with either Coins or Credits. This includes skins from seasonal event modes.
- Overwatch League Tokens allow for the purchase of OWL skins for certain heroes. Upon purchasing an OWL skin, players are awarded two versions of the skin:
- The Home version, which uses the team's primary colors as the main tones.
- The Away version, which are white with the team's primary colors as accent tones.
- Watching enough hours of Overwatch League Contenders matches on Twitch or YouTube awards viewers certain heroes' Contenders skins (both Home and Away versions).
Obsolete methods[ | ]
There were also several methods of obtaining skins in Overwatch:
Overwatch contained 363 skins that could be obtained through Loot Boxes (Loot Boxes in this case refers to all types, including seasonal).
- Base Loot Boxes had a chance to award players with any skin that was not locked to a seasonal event.
- Seasonal Loot Boxes provided players with skins only for the current event.
- Anniversary Loot Boxes had a chance to drop any skin from any past event.
The 211 skins not obtainable through Loot Boxes could be obtained by attending BlizzCon, participating in limited-time events, and preordering or purchasing a premium edition of the game.
- Preordering Overwatch provided the player with Noire (Widowmaker).
- Purchasing Overwatch: Origins Edition awarded 5 Legendary skins:
- Blackwatch Reyes (Reaper)
- Overgrown (Bastion)
- Strike Commander Morrison (Soldier: 76)
- Security Chief (Pharah)
- Slipstream (Tracer)
- Attending BlizzCon or purchasing a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket provided the player with:
- BlizzCon 2016: BlizzCon 2016 (Bastion)
- BlizzCon 2017: BlizzCon 2017 (Winston)
- BlizzCon 2018: Demon Hunter (Sombra)

Trivia[ | ]
- 192 OWL skins are no longer available for purchase after Florida Mayhem, Los Angeles Valiant, and San Francisco Shock changed their team colors.
- Alien (Zarya) was an OWL skin available in Overwatch as a tribute to Jay “Sinatraa” Won (former OWL MVP), but is no longer available for purchase due to sexual harassment allegations against Won. The skin was removed from the game after the controversy, and players were refunded their OWL tokens.
