Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a sub badge in Overwatch 2, and is it important for hero progression?
A sub-badge in Overwatch 2 is a feature within the Player Progression system, designed to track specific in-game stats for heroes, roles, or game modes. For instance, a hero’s sub-badge might focus on their ability usage, games played, or victories. These sub-badges earn experience points (XP) as you play, contributing to the overall progression of that hero, role, or mode.
While sub-badges don’t directly influence a hero’s gameplay or abilities, they’re key for cosmetic progression and personal achievements. Leveling up sub-badges can unlock rewards like Player Icons, Titles, and Name Cards, allowing you to showcase your dedication to a specific hero or aspect of the game.
So, while they’re not essential for making your hero stronger, they do add a layer of personal style and satisfaction.
What player icons are considered the rarest ones in Overwatch 2?
Some of the rarest player icons in Overwatch 2 are tied to special events, achievements, or limited-time promotions. Here are a few examples:
- Top 500 Icon: awarded to players who reach the Top 500 in Competitive Mode. It’s a badge of elite skill;
- Kul Tiras & Zandalar Icons: these were exclusive to players who pre-purchased the World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth expansion, making them quite rare;
- All-Access Pass Icon: this Tracer-themed icon was available only to those who purchased the Overwatch League All-Access Pass;
- Pink Mercy Icon: part of a one-time charity event supporting breast cancer research, this icon is highly sought after;
- Pachimari Hat Icon: earned during the PachiMarchi Challenge, this quirky icon is no longer obtainable.
Not all of these will be available via simple Hero leveling, but if you’re aiming to get that one particular player icon, then contact our manager – surely there’s a way we can help you.
What Heroes are the most difficult to level up?
In Overwatch 2, some heroes are more challenging to level up due to their complexity, reliance on team coordination, or steep learning curves. Here are a few examples:
- Kiriko: as a support hero, mastering her healing and damage abilities, along with her mobility, can be tough for new players. Timing her ultimate and using her teleport effectively requires practice;
- Tracer: her fast-paced playstyle and reliance on precise positioning and aim make her one of the hardest damage heroes to master;
- Ana: a sniper support hero, Ana demands excellent aim and decision-making to balance healing and dealing damage. Missing key shots can significantly impact the team;
- Reinhardt: as a tank, Reinhardt’s success depends on team synergy. His close-range combat and shield management require strategic thinking and coordination;
- Illari: a newer hero, Illari combines healing and damage but has a unique playstyle that takes time to adapt to.
So if you’re struggling with leveling these, then make sure you have your chosen character unlocked and place an order!
