Overwatch 2's Challenges Range From Borderline Impossible To Waving Hello

Overwatch 2 has gone free-to-play, ditching loot boxes for a battle pass and challenge system, but the challenges are wildly varied in difficulty. One even seems borderline impossible.

If you want to earn coins, which you need to buy cosmetics and the battle pass, you have to complete weekly challenges.

Coins are sparse, and sparser still with challenges like these. Crunching the numbers, fans figured out that it would take five years minimum to get all of Kiriko's base cosmetics through the weekly system, and it'll take even longer if difficult challenges such as this persist. For many, those team kills are the last - and seemingly unobtainable - challenge. But the dailies are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, being so menial it's hard to call it a 'challenge' - one simply asks you to say thanks to your support or wave at a teammate. With that done, you've earned some battle pass XP. But weekly coins take more grinding.

The few who did get it have said that it seems entirely luck-based.

Either way, you need the RNG gods to favour you, or you'll end up grinding and grinding with no promise of those 20 wipes.

Given that coins are so hard to come by - meaning you'll likely have to buy the battle pass again next season with real money - fans
