As one of Overwatch’s original tank heroes, Winston has amassed a fairly large collection of skins from various different events. Quite a few of his legendary skins, in particular, take advantage of his unconventional shape to turn him into different mythical animals.
You can unlock Winston’s legendary skins in a few different ways. You can purchase some with Overwatch Coins, and if you had currency left over from an old Overwatch account, some can also be purchased using Legacy Credits. A few are only available at limited times when they happen to be featured in the game’s new rotating shop. It’s also inevitable that at some point a few Winston skins will show up in a season battle pass, although Season 1’s pass doesn’t have any in it.
