With the introduction of Overwatch 2, Season 9 saw a Competitive overhaul that brought about the new Legacy Competitive points. To help you understand what they are and how to earn them, here’s a guide.
In recent Seasons, Blizzard has introduced a significant number of new currencies to the game, such as Mythic Prisms in Season 10 and Legacy Competitive points.
The currency known as Legacy Competitive points was originally used to purchase Golden and Emerald guns in Overwatch upon its release, but due to subsequent modifications, its usage has been altered.
Here is the information you need to know about it.
How to Earn Legacy Competitive Points in Overwatch 2
In Season 9, it was introduced that Legacy Competitive points can only be obtained by converting regular Competitive points.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to manually convert regular Competitive points into Legacy Competitive points. The only option is to wait until the end of a Competitive year, at which point regular points will automatically be converted to Legacy Competitive Points.
This is how you can earn each type of Competitive Point according to Blizzard
The conclusion of a Competitive year typically aligns with the conclusion of a calendar year, indicating that the next one will be at the end of 2024.
Legacy Competitive points have automatically replaced any regular Competitive points that were earned during Season 8 or earlier.
To receive regular Competitive points, you will be given a reward at the conclusion of each Competitive season. The quantity of points will depend on your rank placement (with a higher rank resulting in more points), and you may also receive extra points for winning or tying matches.
Legacy Competitive Points in Overwatch 2
Currently, Legacy Competitive points serve no purpose in Overwatch 2.
After implementing the new currency, the developers addressed player complaints regarding the increased difficulty in obtaining Golden Guns. As a solution, they made changes for the following season, allowing players to use regular Competitive Points to purchase both Golden and Jade weapons.
In the Weapon Variants page, it is now not possible to purchase Golden skins using Legacy Competitive Points.
As a consequence, Legacy Competitive points currently hold no value, since both Golden and Jade guns can be obtained for 3000 Competitive points each.
Given Blizzard’s track record, it is likely that they will introduce yet another cosmetic for players to obtain in the upcoming seasons.
