Summary
- From June 6–June 8, Overwatch 2 players can earn a total of nine Loot Boxes by simply playing the game.
- Junkrat’s Loot Box Hunt is a new limited-time event coming this weekend.
- Overwatch 2 Season 17 will begin on June 24.
During the weekend starting June 6, Overwatch 2 is offering a unique limited-time event called Junkrat’s Loot Box Hunt. In this event, players have the opportunity to collect up to nine Loot Boxes. If you reach daily milestones in the game during these days, you will receive three Loot Boxes each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, without any extra effort!
In the debut of Season 15 for Overwatch 2, there was a resurgence of Loot Boxes. For the past few months, Blizzard has been generously distributing these prizes, offering both common and Epic Loot Boxes as Twitch Drops during the mid-Season 16 update for Overwatch 2.
This coming weekend, players will get another opportunity to accumulate several Loot Boxes, roughly eleven in total, in the Junkrat’s Loot Box Hunt event taking place from June 6th to 8th in Overwatch 2. By accomplishing daily goals during this limited-time event, enthusiasts can collect nine Loot Boxes in total, with three available on each day.
Junkrat’s Lootbox Hunt Coming to Overwatch 2 From June 6-8
At the moment, it’s uncertain what these milestones exactly entail, but it seems they might involve playing games to achieve them. It’s worth noting that a daily collection of three Loot Boxes needs to be accumulated every day, so fans should avoid missing any days, as this could mean forfeiting potential free rewards. Importantly, these milestones are different from the weekly three Loot Boxes that Overwatch 2 players usually receive. Therefore, players can potentially collect a dozen over the weekend without much trouble.
It appears that Junkrat’s Loot Box Hunt is serving as a prelude to engage fans prior to the Competitive Drives at the tail end of Overwatch 2 Season 16. Although there is no guarantee it will reoccur, these easy-to-host weekend Loot Box events could potentially make a comeback during idle periods before other happenings, holidays, or significant updates.
In Season 17, starting June 24, players can anticipate significant updates. This includes a revamped Battle Pass, new Mythic skins for characters D.Va and Reaper, as well as a fresh map named Aatlis for Flashpoint. The existing maps will also undergo reworks. Additionally, Map Voting in Competitive Play is set to debut, and the Summer Games are on the schedule, potentially accompanied by another crossover event. In Overwatch 2’s upcoming season, Stadium experiences substantial upgrades with heroes Sigma, Junkrat, and Zenyatta joining the fray, along with maps Esperanca and Samoa. New features such as the Stadium Forge, an Unranked mode, and cross-play are also included. Any remaining Season 16 Loot Boxes will be automatically opened before the update, so players don’t need to save any earned from Junkrat’s Loot Box Hunt.
