[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57543, member: 1"] An Overwatch 2 Tracer skin is being given away at McDonalds, and seemingly only in Australia. As reported by [URL='https://dotesports.com/sponsored/news/maccas-launch-overwatch-2-meals-with-free-in-game-skin']Dot Esports[/URL], developer Blizzard and McDonalds have united for the promotion that rewards the Overwatch 2 "Tracer Lightning" skin to anyone who orders a Big Mac, McChicken, or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets combo through the MyMacca's App. The skin is available at every McDonalds across Australia until the end of October, and there's currently no word as to whether the promotion will spread to the U.S. or other regions. If you're an Overwatch veteran, you may recognise the skin from Overwatch's 2018 anniversary event. These days, the skin is sometimes available in the Overwatch shop, but since the shop cycles its inventory there is no way of knowing exactly when you can buy it. As such, the McDonalds promotion is the only current sure-fire way to get the skin, at least for Australian players. Other publishers have made similar deals in the past, often resulting in codes for the digital product being sold online for huge amounts of money. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/11/06/how-to-get-the-fortnite-merry-mint-pickaxe-cosmetic']Fortnite's Merry Mint Pickaxe was available in the holiday period of 2019[/URL] to those who bought Fortnite merchandise at certain retailers, for example, and those codes are now selling for upwards of $100. Overwatch 2 launched on October 4 and, as is often the case with online games, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/overwatch-2-blizzard-apologizes-for-shaky-launch-promises-fixes-for-queues-and-more']it had a rocky launch that left several fans completely unable to play the game[/URL].
