Overwatch 2 Expert Pro Tips

The benefit of a battle pass, compared to a loot box, is you get to see what you’re buying. You know exactly what you get for your $10 before you buy the premium tier - though, you still don’t get to choose what you’re buying. If there’s a specific skin, victory pose, or voiceline you’re after, your only option is to buy Coins with real mo


However, Jeff Kaplan, the lead director of the Overwatch franchise, seemed to imply that there would be other heroes that would join the fight alongside this new duo. And, if rumors are true, we may know a little bit about t


Hello, welcome. You’ve fallen into my trap. I will now spend the next 500+ words defending Overwatch 2 News|Https://overwatch2fans.com/’s much-maligned medal system. While I agree with the consensus that Overwatch 2’s scoreboard is better, the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Most notably, there’s no longer a post-match screen that reveals your overall performance. I earned those gold medals Blizzard, why won’t you give them to


It will be interesting seeing MekO in a Houston Outlaws jersey. He was a steady pillar through two strong season for the New York Excelsior but now he gets a fresh start with a team capable of surprising some people. His playstyle differs from a lot of other top-tier off-tanks in the league so all eyes will be on him this weekend to see if he was a product of the Excelsior's coordinated team play or if he can be a difference-maker outside of that atmosphere. The Outlaws will need him to perform well not only this weekend but the entire season for them to be taken seriou


I prefer a scoreboard in general. Transparent information is just more useful and easier to parse, and the medal system never functioned the way it was intended to. However, I do think something valuable was lost in the transition. In Overwatch, every match would end with a score screen that revealed all of your medals. In Overwatch 2, matches just end. On the one hand, getting players back into the queue to play another round as quickly as possible is a good priority to have. On the other, where are my shiny medals god damn


On the other hand, they could merely be small expansions of the Archives seasonal events where you traverse across bland environments doing battle with generic robots until the objective is reached. These events are... fine, but they aren’t that exciting, lacking the competitive edge of multiplayer that makes Overwatch so wonderfully thrilling to play. If a sequel does anything, it needs to overhaul how we engage with it over a long period of t


My Overwatch account is level 480, which means I earned nearly 500 loot boxes by playing the game. Factoring in the event boxes and arcade rewards and I likely opened close to 600 throughout my Overwatch career completely for free. That means I collected some combination of 2,400 cosmetic items and Credit bundles. There’s a lot of skins I’m still missing, but I’ve unlocked a significant amount of the available items in Overwa


Medals are completely meaningless. Other than a minor XP boost from your highest medal earned, you don’t get anything for collecting medals. They aren’t tracked on your stat page or in your achievements, you can’t trade them for cosmetics, and you can’t even see anyone’s medals but your own. What they did do was explode onto the screen all bright and shiny at the end of every match. My Overwatch career is more than 400 hours long, and the medals alone were enough to keep me coming back for m


After the massive announcement of Overwatch 2 was made at Blizzcon, we found out a little more about the highly anticipated sequel. We know that multiple new maps are coming, as well as a co-op story mode, and two new heroes: Echo and Sojo


Both games make it easy to swap heroes at any point. While skill can carry you to victory, how your team is put together will make a huge difference. The hero shooter genre is all about who picked which character, which can be a detriment if they don't complement one another. It may seem like a bold move that can go wrong, but don't be afraid if you or someone else in your squad needs to make a swi


If you’re a free-to-play Overwatch 2 player, you only get 20 items from the seasonal battle pass. Overwatch 2 seasons last nine weeks, so it would take you just over 20 years of consistently completing every battle pass to earn the same number of items I got from Overwatch’s loot boxes. If you’re willing to upgrade to the premium battle pass, which gives you all 80 items, you’ll catch up to me in a little over five years - and it will only cost you $500. I’m doing napkin math here. I haven't factored in the 60 Coins you can earn a week or whatever we might get for free from seasonal events, but you can see my po


Paladins, a free-to-play shooter which took a _ lot _ of inspiration from Overwatch, has a battle pass, and it functions brilliantly. Now imagine this with Blizzard’s budget. I used to be filled with excitement when Overwatch introduced new seasonal events, hoping that my favourite trio of heroes would receive skins I could flaunt on the battlefield. Now, I’m just indifferent, rolling my eyes as the same optional modes, the same skins, and the same aesthetic are rolled out again and again to keep us ha
