Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad0421ee2d\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Players can progress through the battle pass by playing games and completing challenges. Finishing challenges tends to offer more battle pass experience points, so this is the quickest way to start making your way through the pass and collecting the rewards. There are seven challenge categories in Overwatch 2, which are as follows:<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Daily\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Weekly<\/li>\n<li>Event (specific to in-game events)<\/li>\n<li>Lifetime<\/li>\n<li>Hero\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Stadium\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Competitive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad0421f5f2\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Each category has different challenges to complete, which earn additional experience points in the battle pass or other rewards, such as in-game currency or loot boxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad0421fdf2\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>However, casual players can also progress through the battle pass by simply jumping into a game, as playing will earn some experience. It might take longer to get through the pass if you don\u2019t focus on completing challenges, but some challenges are relatively universal, so it\u2019s hard to miss them even if you are playing casually.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-heading-68cad042204aa\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"is_the_overwatch_2_season_18_battle_pass_worth_it-2\">Is the Overwatch 2 Season 18 battle pass worth it?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Overwatch 2 heroes battling near a shield with Pharah firing rockets from above\" class=\"wp-image-204208 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.ballpeenhammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Is-the-Overwatch-2-Season-18-battle-pass-worth-it-large.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">There is a lot to enjoy with the updates to Overwatch 2 in season 18 \/ Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad04220c9e\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>There are definitely some cool cosmetics and skins up for grabs in the Overwatch 2 Season 18 battle pass, but whether they hold up against <a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/overwatch-2-season-17-battle-pass-details\">rewards from previous seasons<\/a> is a matter of personal opinion and preference.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad042213e7\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The themes of Season 18 might not interest you as much as other seasons, or the cosmetics could be for heroes you don\u2019t play as. If this is the case, you probably won\u2019t be as interested in what the Season 18 battle pass offers. However, those who do play as the heroes involved in this season\u2019s battle pass are sure to enjoy at least some of the cosmetics and skins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad04221ae2\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The pool-themed cosmetics have a fun and refreshing vibe, although it is a bit odd that they have been released at the end of August when summer is coming to a close. The streetwear cosmetics have a futuristic, cyberpunk style street aesthetic which suits the chosen characters (<a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/overwatch-2-best-lucio-skins-2025\">Lucio<\/a>, Pharah, Kiriko, and Tracer) perfectly, though it would have been nice for <a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/best-overwatch-2-tracer-skins\">Tracer\u2019s skin<\/a> to be Legendary like the other three skins. Seeing as Tracer\u2019s is the only streetwear skin available on the free battle pass, it\u2019s obvious why this choice was made. That being said, it still feels a bit cash grabby to limit the Legendary streetwear skins to the premium battle pass and make Tracer\u2019s free streetwear skin Epic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad0422227e\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The Chrysanthemum Hanzo and Gladiator: LXXVI Soldier: 76 skins are also pretty awesome. Although they are individually themed, they both fit in with the main themes of the battle pass, with Hanzo\u2019s skin being somewhat summery and Soldier: 76\u2019s Gladiator skin giving a historical street vibe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-68cad04222940\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Overall, the Overwatch 2 Season 18 battle pass rewards are pretty good, with interesting themes and aesthetics, and well-chosen heroes to represent those themes. Whether it is worth purchasing the premium battle pass is a matter of personal preference and in-game hero choices. If you aren\u2019t going to use most of the cosmetics in the battle pass, then it\u2019s not worth it. However, as a whole, the battle pass offers plenty of variety and cool cosmetic rewards, so it\u2019s worth considering purchasing the premium version to unlock everything the pass has to offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-heading-68cad0422306b\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"faqs-4\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions\">\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions__item\" id=\"faq-question-1756373063527\">\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions__question\">\n<h3>What are the Overwatch 2 Season 18 battle pass rewards?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions__answer\">\n<p>The Overwatch 2 Season 18 battle pass rewards are mostly cosmetic, such as skins, player icons, and name cards.
