Those who are clever will not get these loot boxes from Overwatch just yet. We reveal why players should hold back!
In Overwatch, the hero shooter from Blizzard, there are plenty of cosmetic items to unlock. This ranges from numerous hero skins to voice lines, emotes, victory poses, or simple avatars for players.
The primary method for unlocking cosmetic items is loot boxes in Overwatch. These can be earned through leveling up or they can be purchased directly for real money.
Every week, there are also 3 “additional” loot boxes for 3 wins in the arcade game modes. This opportunity resets every week on Tuesday morning.
However, during the Winter Wonderland event 2017, these arcade loot boxes will turn into the coveted event loot boxes! Since the event does not coincide with the weekly reset of the loot boxes in the arcade, players should hold back in the arcade. Only after the event starts will the Winter Wonderland loot boxes be available. Those who claim their 3 loot boxes beforehand will only receive “ordinary” loot boxes.
Since the Winter Wonderland event will surely bring new skins that are only contained in the new loot boxes, players should act wisely here and secure as many event loot boxes as possible.
The Winter Wonderland 2017 starts this week, in America already today on December 12, 2017. For us, this could happen in the late evening hours.
In summary: Wait to play in the Overwatch arcade until the Winter Wonderland 2017 event has started. Then you will secure 3 additional loot boxes with chances for event items.
