Overwatch 2 Is Bringing Back Loot Boxes Very Soon, With Some Changes
One of the original Overwatch's most best-known features, loot boxes, are coming to Overwatch 2 as part of Season 15 on February 18--though you won't be able to buy them directly as was originally the case.
Instead, loot boxes will return as part of Overwatch 2's seasonal free and premium battle passes, as well as rewards for weekly and event challenges. Blizzard is looking to bring more transparency to the system as well, giving players more information in regards to item-drop chances and rarity guarantees.
An item of Rare or better quality has a chance to drop from every loot box. After opening five loot boxes, players will be guaranteed an Epic-quality item, and after 20 loot boxes, a guaranteed Legendary. Legendary loot boxes, one of which can be earned via the free battle pass (and two through the premium battle pass), have a 100% chance to reward a Legendary item.
