These are a little different from Perks.

Loot boxes are back, for some reason

Hey, remember loot boxes?

Those are back - albeit in more limited quantities than before.

These cosmetic pinatas will be available for players to earn by completing weekly and event rewards.

Players are guaranteed to get a Rare or better item in every box (no more all-white drops!

), an Epic item within five consecutive boxes, and a Legendary item within 20 consecutive boxes.

Overwatch 2 Season 15 launches on 19 February, 2024.
