over watch gets a new legendary skin for players to unlock, but you can’t grab Medic Brigitte by completing in-game challenges or getting lucky with a loot box. Instead, you must gift three subscriptions to specific Twitch streamers.
There’s a lot to consider here if you’re interested in scooping skin-to-transfer surveillance 2. Only certain streamers are eligible. The campaign will run from June 29th at 2pm ET to July 20th at 2pm ET. If you’re gifting a subscription outside of these hours, or if a streamer isn’t live and the category is set to over watchit does not count towards the skin.
Any tier subscription will work. After you’ve gifted three subscriptions to an eligible streamer, you’ll receive a code in your notification inbox. You can redeem this through your Battle.net Account Settings.
There are more than 150 eligible streamers, including big names like xQc and Disguised Toast. A number of current and former Overwatch League players, hosts and casters are also eligible. I would suggest supporting smaller streamers like OWgrandma, Bus and Merciful and giving away subs.
The full list of eligible streamers can be found on a over watch Blog entry. You can also find more details about the rules there.
Players from a range of regions can participate: North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Remarkably, China is not mentioned.

This is a bit like a guiding star beforehand surveillance 2 starts on October 4th. It will be free to play and will include a premium battle pass and paid cosmetics.
Speaking of surveillance 2, the second PVP beta starts tomorrow. There will be a big change for DPS heroes compared to the first beta and a “partially competitive ruleset”. Xbox and PlayStation players can also participate this time. The new hero Junker Queen will also be playable for the first time.
You can still sign up to request beta access. If you want to play as soon as the beta goes live (around 2pm ET), you’re guaranteed instant access when you buy the $40 surveillance 2 Watchpoint Pack which includes some other goodies:
