The skins of the New Year event 2019
What can you get? For the New Year event 2019, there are 8 new legendary and epic skins to collect for various heroes:
- Hong Gildong Tracer in a white suit with leather vest

You can view the skins in our gallery. Each skin costs 3000 credits (epic skins 750) and can be purchased directly or obtained through wins in the arcade as well as through level-ups in loot boxes.
Get old skins: You also have the option to purchase skins from past New Year events. If you were unlucky in 2017 and 2018, you now have the chance to repurchase the skins or obtain them in loot boxes. As a reminder:
- These are all the skins from the Lunar New Year 2017
- These are all the skins from the Lunar New Year 2018
The skins have standard prices of 250 credits for an epic skin and 1000 credits for a legendary skin. So make a purchase while it’s still cheaper if you are missing your favorite skins from past events.
