How To Get Free Arcana Skin In The International 2022 Swag Bag

Christmas must have come early because Valve, in a surprise announcement on 26 October 2022, revealed that all Dota 2 players would be eligible to receive three gifts to celebrate "a joyous season of Dota" ahead of The International 2022 Grand Finals.

These rewards include one free Arcana skin from the Dota Store, a Level 1 Battle Pass (or 24 Battle Pass Levels), and a month of free Dota Plus. Accordingly, Valve added that they wanted to focus their attention on "Dota players all around the world" and "not just those competing on stage in Singapore."

How To Get Free Arcana Skin In Dota 2 (Without Abuse)

According to the latest Dota 2 blog post, players can claim three rewards in The International 2022 Swag Bag starting 26 October 2022 until the end of the season in January 2023. Anyone who plays (or has already played) at least ten matches during the Battle Pass 2022 season will be eligible to receive these rewards:

1. 30 days of Dota Plus
2. Level 1 Battle Pass or 24 Battle Levels if you already own a Battle Pass.
3. 1x Arcana skin (of your choice) available in the Dota 2 Store.

According to Valve, the reason for offering Dota 2 players these free rewards is to "harness the excitement of The International Grand Finals and ensure that the days and weeks following the event's conclusion offer fans the very best time to play Dota."

Update from Valve on 28 October: Valve has temporarily limited granting Dota Plus and Battle Passes while they upgrade capacity. "These gifts will still be available once we complete the upgrade," Valve said.
