Overwatch 2 players are in for a treat. Blizzard Entertainment is giving away high-value drops on Twitch up until Dec. 20.
They include a Legendary skin for Ramattra, Overwatch’s latest hero. But to use this skin, you’ll need to unlock Ramattra first, which means you’ll have to reach at least level 45 of the battle pass or buy the premium version.

To get the Twitch drop, players need to watch an eligible channel for two hours to pick up the Ramattra Restrained Spray, and four hours to get the Legendary Ramattra Skin, which is called Traveling Monk.
Players who don’t own Ramattra will still be able to earn the Twitch drop, but they won’t be able to equip the cosmetic item until they unlock the hero. “You do not need to have the hero unlocked to receive the drops, but you will not be able to access that cosmetic content until you unlock the applicable hero,” Blizzard said. If you don’t see the items in your game’s inventory, it’s likely because you haven’t unlocked Ramattra yet.
To know if you’re able to claim the drops or if you need to watch for longer, you can go to the active campaigns window on Twitch.
To get to tier 45 of the battle pass, you need to get a total of 450,000 XP. Since you can get 9,000 XP for completing all daily challenges and 55,000 XP for weekly challenges, it’ll take you around three weeks of playing an average of two games every day to get Ramattra in this way, considering you also get over 500 XP per game.
Correction Dec. 8 11:25am CT: This article has been updated to clarify that players can receive the Twitch drop even if they don’t own Ramattra. But players still can’t equip the skin until they unlock the hero.
