Cosmetic Availability are categories of Cosmetic Items in the game, referring to how an item can be obtained. Cosmetic Availability is not an official term.
Mastery Character Progression Availability[ | ]
- Items that become unlocked or available for purchase through Character Progression
- Examples: Mastery Emotes, Obsidian Skins, Cosmic Skins, Golden Skins, Champion Titles
Standard Availability[ | ]
- Cosmetics that are available for direct purchase immediately
- Examples: Champion Recolors, Huntsman Androxus, Alley Cat Maeve
Exclusive Availability[ | ]
- Exclusive items are usually obtainable via special means at first (Events, Battle Passes, Event Passes), and are only made available again after enough time has passed, usually upwards of 6 months, though sometimes sooner.
- Some exclusive items are always available, however.
- Examples: Archangel Tyra, Akuma Makoa, Cutting Shapes (Maeve Dance Emote), Trick or Treat Talus.
Unlimited Availability[ | ]
- Unlimited Items are those that become available for direct purchase after their event or Battle Pass has ended, but for the full price of the entire event (1,200, 1,500, or 2,400 are all the current prices for the various items so far).
- The direct purchase option only includes the skin and not the content bundled with it during the event.
- Unlimited Skins will always be available for direct purchase, and never rotate out.
- Unlimited Skins will never be available at a discount or in Chests or the Deal of the Day.
- This information on Unlimited skins comes from the Dark Tides update notes.
