On December 6, 2022, the hero shooter Overwatch 2 started its second season. It includes a new tank hero, the second Battlepass, challenges, events, and some adjustments. We have all the info.
Here’s what’s going on: Activision-Blizzard released Season 2 of Overwatch 2 on December 6. While you can unlock a new hero in Battlepass, additional cosmetics are waiting for you. A new hero meta will probably form as well, as some heroes have been customized. You can also expect new cool events in the coming weeks and thanks to new challenges you can unlock heroes faster.
This is the New Hero Ramattra
With Ramattra, a new hero plunges into the battle of the hero shooter. He is a “speed tank” and has two forms. In one, he is more agile but less armored and in the other form, he is the typical tank. He can change his form at any time, depending on what your group needs at the moment.
You can unlock Ramattra for free in the Battlepass from level 45. If you buy the Premium Pass for $14.99, you unlock him directly. Like Kiriko in the first season.
New Hero Meta in Overwatch 2 & Hero Challenges
Due to the new character and customization of some heroes, there is a new, heavily changed hero meta in Overwatch 2 in Season 2. If you are missing some of the heroes in Overwatch 2, there are now also new challenges, at the end of which you can unlock heroes. If you have already unlocked the respective hero, you can no longer accept the corresponding challenge.
This is the Battle Pass in Overwatch 2 Season 2
The second Battlepass once again includes 80 levels, which you can use to unlock all sorts of new content. However, most of the content is hidden behind the paid Premium Pass. The content includes:
- Hero skins
- Profile pictures
- Voicelines
- Emotes
- Sprays
- Name cards
- Hero Intros
- Weapon Charms
