There is also a special currency, similar to Hearthstone's arcane dust, that you can get in your boxes or from dismantling duplicates it can be used to craft other items. The Overwatch items have designated rarities similar to Hearthstone cards: They can be common (white), rare (blue), epic (purple) and legendary (orange). The system used for distributing these items will be familiar if you have ever played Hearthstone. None of them will change how you actually play the game. Each character has 54 collectible items, including cosmetic skins, emote animations, voice lines, victory poses, highlight animations and graffiti tags you can spray onto the environment, for a total of 1,134 different items. Loot boxes contains cosmetic customizations for your Overwatch characters. Many people are thinking about buying loot boxes in Overwatch right now, so here's a primer on what to expect from boxes, the rate you can earn them for free, and whether they're worth buying. You also get a loot box each time you level up in Overwatch, and the boxes you get for playing are identical to the boxes you get for real money. So, depending on how many you buy at a time, each loot box costs you between 80 cents and $1. The only thing in this shop is bundles of randomized loot boxes: two boxes for $1.99, five boxes for $4.99, 11 boxes for $9.99, 24 boxes for $19.99 or 50 boxes for $39.99.

Blizzard launched a new microtransaction store alongside Overwatch to sell cosmetic items for the game.
