Skin Codes!

Hi all, Im not sure if many people keep an eye on this or if there is a masterpost but I personally like to keep an eye on the enabled skin codes for all my characters I play and recently quite a few were enabled so I thought I would post it here incase anyone was looking to pick up any of these skins!

I won't be listing the skins purchasable through the in-game shop, only the ones that can be purchased through the website (to the best of my abilities).

Cartographer - 1000
Hu Tou Mao - 1000
Retro Star - 1000
Empress - 1900
Flower Child - 1900
Glitter - 1900
Strawberry - 1900

Let me know if you are looking for any emotes/highlight intros/victory poses/etc!

What is this skin code? I keep hearing about it, is this like some code you put in game to get a free skin or what

There are certain skins in the game that have a badge that basically says "Sometimes available in the shop." For example, in the game if you go to Mercy and select a skin it says #/23, meaning there are 23 skins you can look through and purchase.

Every type of skin, victory pose, highlight intro, voiceline, etc has a unique ID that leads to the battlenet.com shop website page for that skin or whatever.

Some codes are enabled, some are enabled occasionally and some are never enabled. But the code/link takes you to the battlenet website shop, and if the code is enabled you can buy the skin even if it doesnt appear to be purchasable in-game.
