Perks are a feature in Overwatch 2 that were added in Season 15: Honor and Glory. Perks are upgrades to the heroes' abilities that are unlocked throughout a match.

Unlocking perks

During the match, the player's current hero gains perk progress and can level up. Each hero starts the match at level 1, meaning that no perks are unlocked. They first unlock their minor perk at level 2 and later their major perk upon reaching level 3. Minor perks are small upgrades to an ability, such as cooldown reductions, whereas major perks are more impactful upgrades that can change the functionality of the ability altogether. Both minor and major perks have two options to choose from.

Perk progress can be gained by dealing damage, securing eliminations, and healing your allies. Baseline, this system functions the same as ultimate charge, with each point of damage and healing granting a point toward the next perk level. Unlike ultimate charge however, players do not passively gain perk progress, but in turn, the amount of perk progress gained through combat gradually increases throughout the match. After 3 minutes, the amount of XP gained starts to increase until 7 minutes, where it reaches the maximum 2x increase. Heroes also gain 15% more progress if they eliminate an enemy hero that is at a higher perk level than they are.

Perk progress also has the same restrictions as gaining Ultimate charge, most notable ones being that damage and healing dealt from or during ultimates and damage dealt to yourself do not grant perk progress as well as overhealth and Tank role passive reducing the amount of perk progress gained.

Perks are not available in the Stadium and some event game modes. In Stadium, a few items and powers are functionally identical or similar to certain perks.

Swapping heroes

Perks do not transfer between heroes. For instance, if a player unlocks two perks with one hero, then switches to another, they must level up to unlock perks for the new hero as well. However, any previously unlocked perks will remain unlocked if the player later switches back to their original hero.

If a player leaves and another player replaces them, the first hero the new player selects will be given perk XP equivalent to the teammate who currently has the least perk XP.

Perks in Competitive Play

In Escort and Hybrid maps in Competitive Play, all perks are reset after every round. When the players first swap sides, all perk progress is also reset to level 1. If the match goes to extra rounds, perks are reset again after every round, but all heroes start at level 3 and can immediately select their perks.

Perks in Mystery Heroes

In Mystery Heroes, heroes start at level 3 every time they respawn, but their minor and major perk will be randomly selected. (removed in April 14, 2026 Patch, re-added in May 12, 2026 Patch)
