Overwatch 2’s first seasonal event is live, so it’s time to don your costumes, break out those jack-o’-lanterns, and gather some friends for co-op action. Similar to previous years, Halloween Terror reintroduces Junkenstein’s Revenge mode for a limited time. Along with this four-player mode, there are also a handful of cosmetic items that players can either purchase or unlock for free. While most of the skins require you to pay real money, there are some rewards you can earn if you don’t want to break the bank. Here’s how to get the free rewards during Overwatch 2’s Halloween Terror event this week:

(Author’s Note: Keep in mind, there are no event lootboxes. These were removed when Overwatch 2 launched, meaning the only way to earn most of the new or old skins is by spending real money.)
