How do I get gold weapons in Overwatch 2?

Gold weapons can be purchased using 3,000 Competitive Points. Similar to other skins, sprays, and accessories in Overwatch 2, you can purchase the gold variant of a character's weapon in the Hero Gallery. Instead of the standard credits, you must use Competitive Points. These are earned in Competitive mode. With every Competitive match you win, you earn 25 points. Draws earn 10 points, and losses earn 0 points. At the end of each season, you'll be rewarded additional points for your current rank. You can earn up to 1500 extra points this way.

Buying a Gold Weapon

Launch Overwatch 2. Overwatch is available to download on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox one, and Xbox Series X and S. When you've earned at least 3,000 points from Competitive mode, you can purchase a golden weapon for any character.

Select Heroes. This will be underneath Play. The Hero Gallery will open.

Select a character. Since points take some time to earn, most players purchase a gold weapon for their main or favorite character first.

Select Weapon. This is the section at the very bottom, underneath Highlight Intros. You can see your Competitive Points in the top-right corner, underneath your Overwatch 2 name.

Select Golden. Your character will initially have Default selected. Preview the weapon before confirming your purchase.

Select Unlock. This is at the bottom of the screen. The gold weapon should automatically equip. If it doesn't, select it now. Now when you play a match—Quick Play, Arcade, Custom, or Competitive—with this character, other players will see a golden gun.
