Guide to All Hero Abilities in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 is gearing up to receive various changes and new features in the upcoming seasons. Among the highlights are a third-person stadium mode, the return of loot boxes, and the introduction of the Perks feature. Blizzard is implementing a significant overhaul of the game, starting with the Perks for heroes, which will be introduced as of Season 15 on February 18. This update comes after the disappointment of many players due to the cancellation of the previously promised PvE mode by Blizzard, making the Perks system an exciting incentive.

Perks are unlockable enhancements that players can acquire during matches by leveling up their heroes. Each hero can progress from level one to level three, and upon doing so, players can choose from different available Perks. Starting at level one, the hero operates with their standard setup. Once level two is reached, one of two minor Perks can be selected, which slightly modify the gameplay. At level three, players have the option to choose between two major Perks that significantly enhance the hero's gameplay.

Here’s a summary of the minor and major Perks available in Overwatch 2:
