    Similar to other skins, sprays, and accessories in Overwatch 2, you can purchase the gold variant of a character's weapon in the Hero Gallery. Instead of the standard credits, you must use Competitive Points. These are earned in Competitive mode.
    • With every Competitive match you win, you earn 25 points. Draws earn 10 points, and losses earn 0 points. [1] At the end of each season, you'll be rewarded additional points for your current rank. You can earn up to 1500 extra points this way.
