As a dedicated Overwatch 2 gamer, I can’t help but feel the excitement bubbling up as Season 15 is upon us! This update is nothing short of monumental, reminiscent of the game’s launch back in 2016. It’s introducing an all-new Perks system that promises to add a fresh layer of strategy to my gaming experience. But here’s what really gets me pumped – loot boxes are making a comeback! After their initial disappearance with the sequel, it feels like a piece of the original Overwatch magic is being restored. Can’t wait to dive back in and see what this season brings!

If you’ve been unboxing items and pondering your chances of landing a Legendary skin or other prized possessions, here’s a simple guide on their drop probabilities and methods for obtaining them.

In summary, this game’s loot boxes offer more favorable chances compared to those found in other games. Specifically, every Legendary box contains at least one rare item. Additionally, various strategies have been implemented to maintain a consistent flow of rewards for the players.

Regardless of the loot box you choose, there’s always a Scarce item inside. Furthermore, an Epic is ensured in every set of five boxes, and a Legendary will pop up approximately once every 20 boxes. This means you can rest assured that you’ll receive decent rewards even without opening every loot box.

Additionally, the system ensures that no duplicates are obtained. If an item you already have appears again, it will be rolled again for a new one.

How to get loot boxes

As a gamer, I snag my loot boxes through weekly rewards, special events, Twitch Drops, seasonal Battle Passes, and soon enough, via a cool new Discord program! Game Director Aaron Keller just spilled the beans about this upcoming feature.

Instead of the original Overwatch, you cannot buy these characters with actual currency. Instead, they are accessible exclusively by playing the game itself.

Individuals who buy the Battle Pass will enjoy additional perks compared to those using the free version, as they can collect three Legendary loot boxes instead of one on the standard track. But don’t worry, with more than 100 loot boxes being distributed during Season 15, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to receive rewards.
