Breaking: A Hidden Overwatch 2 Bug Could Be Preventing Players from Unlocking Thrilling New Heroes

A glitch in Overwatch 2 may be preventing players from unlocking new characters during gameplay, adding to the list of bugs that have affected the diverse roster of the game. Despite receiving positive feedback since its early access release last year, Overwatch 2 has faced some criticism along with its popularity. Like any game, it is not exempt from technical issues or unnoticed bugs during playtesting.

Redditor Shaman1996 discovered a glitch that was preventing them from unlocking the Season 2 character Ramattra. To unlock Ramattra, players need to complete a series of challenges, such as winning 35 battles as Tank (or a randomly chosen hero), eliminating three bots with the Void Accelerator, and practicing different moves in training mode. The user had successfully completed most of these challenges; however, the game did not acknowledge their progress, even though they had surpassed the minimum requirement for victories.

When asked about the frequency of this glitch, one commenter shared their similar difficulty in unlocking the Season 1 character Kiriko. Many other commenters quickly placed the blame on Blizzard for the bug and advised the original poster (OP) to submit a complaint ticket. Several replies suggested that Ramattra might be inaccessible because the grinding challenge required to activate them had not been initiated, which is the only way to mark the challenges as completed.

If this glitch is indeed authentic and not due to user error, it signifies one of the numerous issues that players of Overwatch 2 have encountered. Overwatch 2 is accessible on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
