Do Coins Carry Over in Overwatch 2?
One of the most anticipated questions about the new Overwatch 2 is whether coins, the in-game currency used to buy hero skins, will be transferable to the new game. Blizzard, the developers of the game, has finally shed some light on the issue, and here’s what you need to know.
Yes, Your Coins Will Carry Over to Overwatch 2
In a recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on the game’s forum, Overwatch’s commercial lead Jon Spector confirmed that coins will be transferable from the original Overwatch to Overwatch 2. This means that if you’ve spent hours farming coins or spent real money to get new skins for your favorite heroes, those coins will remain intact when you migrate to the new game.
What about Loot Boxes and Competitive Play?
With the demise of loot boxes in Overwatch 2, players will no longer need to buy them to obtain new hero skins or sprays. Instead, a new progression system has been introduced, which will grant players experience points (XP) to level up their heroes. As they progress, they’ll earn a variety of rewards, including new hero skins.
When it comes to Competitive play, Spector clarified that players’ ranks and ranks will indeed carry over from the original Overwatch. So, whether you’re currently ranked Silver or Diamond, you can expect your skills to translate to Overwatch 2 without starting from scratch.
Are There Any Important Dates You Should Know?
In the next 24-48 hours after the Overwatch 2’s launch, all available gold and 2K gems will automatically be traded out for OWL Tokens at a rate of 150 gold coins for 200 OWL Tokens or 1 2K gems for 1.35 OWL Tokens.
What’s happening here? For starters, OWL Tokens are now the go-to currency for buying things, such as hero skins or sprays. Get ready for a streamlined store experience where you’ll never have to worry about opening loot boxes again! As part of the game’s ongoing evolution, your gold and 2K gems have been recalculated to offer a smoother journey.
