Obtaining the Amaterasu Kiriko Mythic skin in Overwatch 2

With Overwatch 2's Season 3 Battle Pass featuring two formats, players can either go the free route and miss out on the premium tiers or purchase the Premium Battle Pass for $10, gaining access to all of the items within the Battle Pass. Considering that the Amaterasu Kiriko skin is part of the Premium tier, fans looking to acquire this skin will have to buy the Premium Battle Pass.

However, simply buying the Battle Pass won't be sufficient. The Mythic skin is unlocked at Tier 80, which is at the very end of the Batte Pass. You will have to play a lot of matches and earn XP, which will level up the Battle Pass. Once you reach Tier 80, the Amaterasu skin will automatically be unlocked and available for use in all of the modes that the game has to offer.

To speed up this process, it's recommended to complete the challenges which generally give a ton of extra experience points. This adds to Battle Pass progression and allows players to acquire the skin quickly. Moreover, with the Ultimate Valentine event coming, brand new limited-time challenges will be added, granting players a large amount of bonus XP.
