As you can see in the image above, there are certain weapon charms that can be directly purchased using Overwatch Coins in the collectibles tab of the game. Each of these charms costs 700 Overwatch Coins, which means that you won’t have to pay more for certain charms. However, there is a slight problem here, these weapon charms can only be purchased through micro-transactions and there is no in-game way of unlocking them.

Overwatch Coins can only be purchased using real money and that makes some of the weapon charms locked under the title of micro-transactions. You’ll have to get the 10$ Overwatch Coins pack in order to buy at least one of the purchasable charms in the collectibles tab.

Getting Weapon Charms As Battle Pass Rewards

Some of the weapon charms are locked as rewards in the battle pass of the game. You can additionally obtain them once you reach the given tier of that item in the battle pass. This is the only free method of obtaining weapon charms in the game actually.

The battle pass is free for everyone. You can actually grind for the rewards of the battle pass without having to pay anything. But here’s the catch. The amount of grind required is actually ALOT! So much so that you are forced to purchase the premium version of the battle pass that costs real money.

If you don’t like to grind in the game, then purchasing the battle pass tiers or the premium battle pass is your best choice for obtaining the weapon charms that are locked behind the battle pass. Additionally, you will get the newest heroes added to the game very quickly if you purchase the battle pass. However, the cost is actually a little high and it all depends on whether you want to spend money or not.

Buying Weapon Charms From Shop

Lastly, we have the specific weapon charms in the game that can only be purchased through the item shop as bundles with other skins and emotes. You cannot separately buy them. Actually, you have to buy the whole bundle for 2200 Overwatch Coins in order to get access to the weapon. This method is actually the most expensive way of obtaining weapon charms in the game. 

The shop also gets regularly updated so new bundles or charms are expected to be added to the game. However, you should be prepared to spend real money if you want to buy anything from the shop in Overwatch 2. That concludes all of the different methods that you can use to obtain weapon charms in the game.
