A legendary skin in Overwatch costs 1000 credits.
Overwatch credits are an in-game currency that allows players to unlock cosmetic items for their heroes, including skins, emotes, sprays, and voice lines. The cost of cosmetic items varies based on their quality or rarity. Legendary skins represent the highest tier of rarity for skins and thus command the highest credit price.
Cosmetic Item Costs
Here's a breakdown of how many credits are typically required for different qualities of cosmetic items:
| Quality | Cost of Cosmetic (Credits) |
|---|---|
| Rare | 75 |
| Epic | 250 |
| Legendary | 1000 |
Players primarily acquire credits through opening Loot Boxes, which are earned by leveling up or completing certain in-game challenges. The amount of credits received from a Loot Box also depends on the rarity of the credit drop, with Legendary credit drops typically granting 500 credits. This means that acquiring enough credits for a Legendary skin often requires collecting multiple credit drops or saving up over time.
