All you need to do is win games in Overwatch for the duration of the event. Nine wins in total will net you every reward, so long as you get them all in before March 22. Below is a quick breakdown of each tier for the PachiMarchi Challenge.
- Win 3 Games | Player Icon
- Win 6 Games | Junkrat Emote
- Win 9 Games | Epic Skin: Roadhog Pachimari
So a simple nine victories over the next 13 days and this Roadhog skin will be yours forever. These wins can be tallied up across the usual Quick Play, Competitive, and Arcade modes as well.
Roadhog’s fresh look is sure to stand out in any team fight. It’s a completely unique look for the Tank hero, inspired by the default green and white Pachimaris.
It’s too early to tell if other heroes will soon follow up and get Pachimari skins of their own, though a full collection could be a hilarious sight.
