Promotion begins August 10
[UPDATE: Upon further investigation, the “Five free loot boxes” code can only be obtained at the link belowfromAugust 10. Including the accidental dead link when this news first went live I madetwoerrors here. The article has been updated and I sincerely apologise for any confusion my mistakes may have caused]
As previously promoted in June, Twitch Prime users can land themselves five free loot boxes inOverwatchthis month, right after the start of next week’s Summer Games event. However, it appears the lootboxeswillbe standard issue, and will not contain any of the event’s exclusive gear.
Prime members can apply for the promotional codeherewhen the offer goes live on August 10, which they should then enter into their Battle.net account to redeem the boxes. Each box will contain one item of Rare or higher status.
In otherOverwatchnews, game director Jeff Kaplan revealed that the 2016 Summer skinswillbe obtainable through the standard loot box system, putting to rest concerns that the previous year’sreturning skinswould be purchasable with cash only.
Finally, today sees Doomfist unlocked for use on the competitive ladder. So far I’m really not feeling the character myself, but that doesn’t matter, as long as someone elseis,and they’re on my team. You do the punching and I’ll do the loving.
