Legendary skins (3000 credits):
Swamp Monster Doomfist
Channel Creature from the Black Lagoon and Hellboy's Abe Sapien with this fishy look for Doomfist, complete with gills, fins, and a seaweed belt.
Banshee Moira
This spooky look for Moira perfectly complements her abilities, as you drain the life from your opponents with your purple energy beams.
Enchanted Armor Pharah
Pharah always gets some of the best outfits, and the Enchanted Armor is no exception; on top of its regal design, you'll find that Pharah's got no head inside this spectral suit when she removes her helmet!
Slasher: 76 Soldier: 76
The obligatory Jason mask finally makes an appearance on Soldier: 76, which also outfits his rifle with a (non-functioning, sadly) chainsaw akin to Gears of War's Lancer.
Bride Sombra
With her green skin, tattered dress, and shock of white hair, Sombra looks ready to scare the daylights out of her enemies when she sneaks up and suddenly attacks their flank.
Jack-O'-Lantern Wrecking Ball
Hammond is really feeling the spooky holiday spirit, outfitting his mech to look like a sentient pumpkin (vine legs and all), and even donning an adorable little demon outfit himself.

Epic skins (750 credits):
Undead McCree
Expect to see this skin a lot, because it makes everyone's favorite BAMF look even cooler as a zombified cowboy with green-glowing guts and a skull bandana.
Pumpkin Mei
In contrast to her previous ghost-themed skin, Mei's newest Halloween costume plays it straight, with a suit that looks like it was stitched together from pumpkin chunks.
Spider Widowmaker
Widowmaker's rocking a web-patterned black and purple outfit to match her many-eyed goggles, which even get their own Spider-Man-esque look.
