50 cosmetic items. You know how many of those are just player icons and sprays? Too many, I think from most chests I just get those now anyway.
Well there is
8 legendarys
3 epic skins
3 dance emotes
Probably 5-8 emotes / victory poses / highlight intros
So 22 items which aren't sprays and player icons, expect 28+ of those.
