Overwatch 2 makes massive Battle Pass changes to unlock Ramattra for free

Blizzard has announced some huge changes coming to Overwatch 2’s Battle Pass in Season 2 to make it way easier to unlock Ramattra on the free track.

Overwatch 2’s newest tank, Ramattra, is set to finally release on December 6, but only players who pay for the premium Battle Pass can unlock him right away. Now, Blizzard is making some changes.

Previously, players on the free BP would have had to grind to level 55 to unlock the latest tank hero, but the devs have announced that it’s going to be easier than anticipated thanks to some updates.

In a social media post, Overwatch 2 Game Director Aaron Keller revealed huge changes are coming to the Battle Pass that will be exciting for both free and premium players.

Overwatch 2 devs update Battle Pass challenges and Ramattra unlock

According to Aaron Keller, after reviewing feedback from Season 1, Ramattra will be moved from level 55 of the Battle Pass to level 45.

This is quite a significant update because it means players will be able to get their hands on the Omnic tank much sooner. Plus, these other changes will make leveling up a breeze.

Hey all! Quick update on some changes coming to Season 2. After reviewing data for Season 1, we're moving Ramattra in to Tier 45 of the Battle Pass and making a few more weekly challenges easier to complete. Excited for you all to see everything new in Season 2 starting tomorrow!

“[We’re] making a few more weekly challenges easier to complete,” Keller added.

Players can earn plenty of Battle Pass XP by completing weekly challenges, so if they’re even easier than before, getting to level 45 should be very doable.

It’s not clear exactly what challenges are being modified, but we won’t have long to wait as Overwatch 2 Season 2 kicks off on December 6.
