Overwatch 2 has a roster of well-loved characters across three three in-game playable roles - Tank, DPS, and Support. A huge appeal to many of these characters is the unique Hero Galleries each one has, full of collectibles such as sprays, emotes, voice lines, highlight intros, and cosmetic skins that players can unlock and collect for each character in the game.
These character cosmetics can be earned through a variety of different methods, such as completing in-game challenges, participating in events, in free or premium Battle Pass tiers, purchasing on the Overwatch Shop, and from Twitch drops. With every new game season that comes and goes, there is usually one or more series of Twitch drops for players to collect along the way, with Season 14 including several Christmas skins, and more recently, the Synthwave skin for Support hero, Lifeweaver. Everything you'll need to know about how to obtain this skin for free during this time has been included in the guide below.
