How to get Legacy Competitive Points in Overwatch 2

Legacy Competitive Points have been a part of Overwatch 2 for a few seasons now, but earning them is still a mystery for many players. They can help you get some amazing skins that are usually hard to get in F2P titles, so you’d want to stack up on this currency as much as possible.

So, here’s how to get Legacy Competitive points in Overwatch 2.

How to earn Legacy Competitive Points in OW2

Legacy Competitive Points can only be earned in Overwatch 2 by converting regular Competitive Points into the new currency. These are acquired by winning Ranked matches and based on a player’s final ranking at the end of a season.

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this manually, as it only happens at specific times decided by Blizzard. The first of these took place at the start of Season 9, as players will have found that all of their existing Competitive Points had been changed to the Legacy version.

Blizzard have confirmed that the next chance to get them will be when the “2024 Competitive Year closes.” Once the 2025 calendar begins, any Competitive Points left unspent from the previous year will be automatically changed into Legacy Points.

What are Legacy Competitive Points?

Legacy Competitive Points are a brand-new currency used to purchase Golden Guns in Overwatch 2. This was previously done with regular points, but these are now needed for the new Jade variants introduced with Season 9.

In Season 10, the developers implemented a new mechanic that lets you purchase Golden guns either through Legacy Competitive Points or 2024 Competitive Points. You won’t be able to purchase these variants with a combination of both currencies.
