It's that time once again: Overwatch's yearly reset. And with that comes the same old confusion around the new competitive weapon variant. Honestly, I get it, the system is needlessly complicated with all its different currencies. This year, Crimson Wolf is all the rage, a new Talon-red themed camo.

Crimson Wolf joins Golden, Jade, and last year's lovely Galactic variant as the four competitive weapon camos applicable to all characters and their skins. Whether you're new or a veteran hit with the annual amnesia, I'll go over what you need to do to add Crimson Wolf to your collection below.

You can unlock Crimson Wolf using Competitive Points, the red currency earned by playing standard or Stadium competitive matches and competing in end-of-season Drives in the current competitive year. Because this currency is reset each year, everyone will be starting from zero, beginning with The Reign of Talon's Season 1: Conquest, whether you're a new player or an experienced one.
