Players who finish all twelve challenges can gather an entire set of themed cosmetics while earning a substantial amount of Battle Pass experience. The tasks range from match participation to measurable gameplay actions such as healing or using ultimates, encouraging a variety of hero roles.
While the Katara Mei skin is available through free progression, other Avatar items require Overwatch Coins. Legendary skins such as Zuko Genji, Aang Zenyatta, and Toph Ramattra can be purchased individually from the in-game gallery or obtained in themed bundles. The Suki Kiriko epic skin costs fewer coins, providing a lower-cost option for collectors looking to expand their hero customization library.
The crossover offers both grinding incentives and direct purchase options, allowing every player—whether casual or competitive—to collect elements of the Avatar universe within Overwatch 2.
