Blizzard just added a new D.Va skin to Overwatch, but it’s pretty pricey.

As part of an Overwatch League promotion with Twitch, players can unlock skins by cheering with Twitch bits—a way to tip streamers or broadcasts. The newest skin has D.Va wearing her Overwatch League grays, with gold accents adorning her mech.

“The Overwatch League semifinals just got sweeter with a new D.Va Overwatch League skin,” Blizzard wrote on Twitter.

But to unlock the D.Va skin, Overwatch players are going to have to pay up. It’s only available to Overwatch League fans who unlock all 12 individual team emotes, which are bought with 150 bits each minimum. Unlocking all the emotes will cost 1,800 Twitch bits if the minimum price is paid, which equals out to $18 with a one cent to one bit ratio.

The good news is that there is potential to earn bits for free by watching ads on Twitch—it just might take a while to get to 1,800 bits. Fans who shell out for the Overwatch League D.Va skin will also get a few other lower-tiered skins for all that cash. (Junkrat, Tracer, Widowmaker, Hanzo, and Mercy will be unlocked in the journey toward D.Va.)

The Overwatch League semifinals are ongoing this week; two teams will be eliminated by Saturday night. The inaugural Overwatch League season will conclude in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center from July 27 to 28.
