How to Get Overwatch 2 Mid-Season 16 Twitch Drops
Most of these Twitch Drop campaigns provide old shop skin bundles or brand-new skins, such as theIce Princess Symmetra cosmetics from the launch ofOverwatch 2Season 16. However, it seems the mid-Season 16 Drops are following in the footsteps of the mid-Season 15 campaign by offering Loot Boxes, though instead of offering five normal ones, fans can get an illusive Epic Loot Box. Players can look forward to unlocking several new cosmetics for their account, without anyone encountering a Twitch Drop featuring a skin they already purchased from the shop in the past.
Fans looking to pick up even more items can do so via three different in-game events right now. By completing various in-game challenges, gamers can earn several sprays, voice lines, and a player titlefrom theOverwatch 2xStreet Fighter 6collab, player icons, a weapon charm, and a second Epic Loot Box via the Overwatch Classic event, and a third Epic Loot Box via a new quest added to the season-long Stadium: Initiation event. Considering players get a guaranteed Legendary item by opening four Epic Loot Boxes, fans should ensure to collect all of these special items.
