Where to Get the Ein Wrecking Ball Skin in Overwatch 2

The Ein Wrecking Ball skin can be earned by completing 11 of the event challenges for the Cowboy Bebop event. These can be found by selecting Challenges in the bottom-left corner of the main menu, and then navigating to the event tab. These challenges range from completing matches, healing teammates, eliminating enemies, and using your ultimate.

Unfortunately, if you’re reading this before March 19, you can’t complete this challenge just yet. The final set of challenges won’t unlock until March 19, which will require you to acquire more eliminations alongside completing objectives. Provided you complete all but one of the challenges, you’ll score yourself the Ein Wrecking Ball skin.

Once you have the challenges completed, simply head over to Wrecking Ball’s skins where you’ll find the Ein skin available to select. Since the skin is legendary, you won’t be able to get any sort of customization. However, it’s also a nice skin on its own.

Can You Earn Any of the Other Cowboy Bebop Skins for Free?

Outside of simply earning Overwatch Credits through weekly challenges, it isn’t possible to earn any of the other skins for free. However, it is important to note that you don’t need to get the skins as part of the bundle in the shop. If you head to the skin itself in the Heroes section of the main menu, you can purchase the skin alone for 1900 Overwatch Credits. You’ll lose out on the other cosmetics, but you’ll still get the skin if that’s all you want.
