Completing the challenges and getting the rewards

The current event in Overwatch 2 has four cosmetic rewards and players can earn a total of 5000 Battle Pass XP from the event. They are Lucky Pouch Weapon Charm, KKachi Echo skin, Year of the Rabbit spray, and nametag and a Hongbao souvenir.

The Hero skin is definitely the most attractive prize players can receive in this event, alongside the weapon charm. It is also fairly easy to get these rewards as they have to complete only four and two challenges, respectively, in the event to get them.

The challenges in the Overwatch 2 Lunar New Year event need players to focus on the event-special game modes: Capture the Flag, Capture the Flag Blitz, and Bounty Hunter in order to complete them. This will give them a break from grinding ranked and earn a few good looking cosmetics and a bunch of Battle Pass XP in the process.
