Loot boxes are now in Overwatch 2 after being gone since the sequel's launch in 2023. The boxes gives you the chance to obtain some cool cosmetics without spending money, including some shop items.
For anyone wondering how to get loot boxes, we have prepared a simple guide explaining all the different methods you can follow so you can start openning them.
How to get loot boxes?
Players can get loot boxes by completing challenges in Overwatch 2. The game offers loot boxes as a reward for weekly challenges, meaning you can get a new batch of boxes every single week.
On top of that, some events (like Perked Up in Season 15) offer loot boxes as a reward for completing certain challenges.
Blizzard announced that loot boxes won't be purchasable, so players can't spend money to acquire more.
How to get legendary loot boxes?
The standard loot box is not the only one available in Overwatch 2, as there is also a legendary loot box. This new item guarantees a legendary cosmetic in every pull and is more difficult to get.
Players can get legendary loot boxes through the battle pass, as this item is part of the rewards. The Season 15 battle pass has legendary loot boxes as both free and premium rewards, and the upcoming seasons will probably follow this same format.
Keep in mind that you can't save your loot boxes for a future season as the game will automatically open all the boxes in your accounts when a season ends.
For those who want to get more free cosmetics, make sure to read our article about Twitch Drops since new drops are usually available throughout the season.
