Overwatch 2 Season 15 is introducing a new gameplay feature that will provide players with more choice and strategy on the field. Alongside the Season 15 update, it was announced that Loot Boxes will be returning to the game, which has been a controversial addition to free-to-play titles for a while, but the return will have new content to gain as you progress through the Premium Battle Pass. When it comes to competitive play, Overwatch 2 has crafted new skill rank resets and competitive rewards like showcasing your rank on portraits as well as Galactic Weapon Variants. Overwatch 2 Perks can be gained by dealing damage and healing teammates, which can be used in-game to change the course of the battle.

Every character in the game will get Hero Perks with the intention of adapting all players to the new shift. A lot of players will appreciate the no-balance changes since the perks system is in effect within this update. When it comes to patch notes, tanks such as D.VA, Doomfist, and Hazard have received increases in reload speeds and overall health.

Take a look at the latest Season 15 patch notes for Overwatch 2:

Overwatch 2 Season 15 – Honor And Glory

Season 15 introduces Perks, Overwatch 2’s groundbreaking new gameplay feature that lets players unlock mid-match hero upgrades, providing more choice and strategy.

New Mythic Skin – Pixiu Zenyatta

Voice Lines

Developer Comment: Going into Overwatch 2, we took into account player feedback that skin-specific ultimate lines from enemy heroes created gameplay difficulties for many players. As such, we restricted any custom hostile ultimate VO to special game modes, but we were not able to implement them into the broader game.

By changing the way we trigger ultimate voice lines, we can now play a player-specific custom line without affecting the line heard by enemy players. This means that we’ll have much more flexibility for changing ultimate voice lines in the future.

Introducing Perks

Take your gameplay to the next level with Perks—Overwatch 2’s dynamic new mid-match upgrade system for Quickplay and Competitive. As the action heats up, unlock and choose game-changing abilities to amplify your hero’s power and evolve your strategy in real time. Adapt to every challenge, counter your enemies, and turn the tide of battle in your favor.

How to gain Perk progress

• Perk progress is gained by dealing damage, securing eliminations, and healing your allies. • Throughout the match, the rate at which you gain Perks will gradually increase. • When you eliminate an enemy who is at a higher perk level than you (full level), that elimination is also worth more Perk progress.

Selecting Perks

There are multiple options available to select your perks into fit your personal play style.

Celebrate In Our Perked-Up Event

Celebrate the debut of Overwatch 2’s game-changing Perks system with the Perked Up Event, available all season long. Take on challenges to snag weekly rewards, including up to 10 Loot Boxes per week and Rainy Day Mercy! Plus, team up with the community via Twitch Drops and Support a Streamer to unlock Rainy Day Mei and Tracer. This limited time event runs from February 18 to April 22.

Hero Perks

Instead of hero balance updates, we’re opening up Season 15 with adding Hero Perks to all 41 heroes. Our intention is to give you some time to adapt to such a large shift for the game, but we’ll be monitoring to see if any perks need immediate tuning. So, check out each new perk and plan out new strategies and playstyles that can benefit your playstyle.
