During the Overwatch Halloween Terror event, there will be three skins, all at an Epic rarity that can be unlocked. They are separate from the other skins in the event and will be limited, so players will want to stay vigilant during Halloween Terror 2021.

In order to get each skin, they will need to complete weekly challenges that pertain to Overwatch Halloween Terror 2021. Each week will feature one hero skin, such as Genji, that players can earn.

The catch is that they will only have that one week to earn the skin before the next week starts. There are three Overwatch Halloween Terror event weeks in total which feature Genji, Roadhog, and Zarya.
