Overwatch 2 has reintroduced its Support a Streamer event, providing players an opportunity to acquire the new Rainy Day Tracer skin. This cosmetic is part of the game’s latest seasonal enhancements, which promise to deliver groundbreaking changes.
With the launch of Season 15, players can explore a range of new features, including the long-awaited return of loot boxes and an array of free cosmetics. In addition to the Rainy Day Tracer skin, players can also unlock unique skins for Mercy and Mei by completing specific challenges related to the Perked Up event or via Twitch Drops.
Tracer’s new Legendary Rainy Day skin, characterized by her signature purple hoodie, marks an exciting addition to the game’s cosmetic collection. To unlock this particular skin, players must engage in the Support a Streamer event, which differs slightly from the unlocking processes of Mercy and Mei’s skins.
How to Unlock the Rainy Day Tracer Skin
Acquiring Tracer’s Rainy Day skin requires players to gift two subscriptions to eligible Twitch streamers. This initiative is part of Blizzard’s commitment to bolster community engagement on platforms like Twitch, specifically within channels streaming Overwatch 2.
The official Blizzard forum outlines participation specifics, indicating that only certain channels within the Overwatch 2 category will count towards the event. Here’s a streamlined guide to help players navigate the gifting process:
- Log into your Twitch account.
- Navigate to the Overwatch 2 category and select any participating channel.
- Choose the “Gift a Sub” option when the channel’s stream is open.
- Opt for a tier 1 subscription.
- Set the Quantity to 2 (though you may gift more if desired).
- Enter your payment details and complete the purchase.
Upon fulfilling these steps and assuming your Battle.net and Twitch accounts are appropriately linked, players will gain access to the Legendary Rainy Day Tracer skin.
Connecting Battle.net to Twitch
If you have yet to connect your Battle.net account with Twitch, here’s how to ensure your accounts are linked, enabling you to receive the skin:
- Log into your account on the Battle.net site.
- Click on Connections in the left-hand menu.
- Scroll to find Twitch and click the +Connect button.
- Follow the remaining prompts to complete the linking process.
This Support a Streamer event runs from February 18 through March 9. Players have plenty of time to participate and earn the new skin. Previous events have similarly rewarded subscribers; notably, players were able to earn the Legendary Medic Brigitte skin through a comparable method.
As players enjoy the festive updates, they may also want to keep an eye on loot box odds and the upcoming collaboration with LE SSERAFIM for even more cosmetic options.
