Thanks for bringing this to our attention, while its not intended to be restricted, you’ll need to make sure to say “Thanks” to specifically a Support hero (just like the occasional Daily challenge) to get this Challenge completed. Sorry for the confusion.

We’re working on this, basically everyone’s ready to dig into Venture’s new kit, so loading the Practice Range might be a bit slow for a little while.

Update: this is now resolved and loading the Practice Range should take the normal amount of time.

Hello all, thank you for reporting this–this is on our radar! I did want to call out that this is a visual only bug affecting the End of Round flow. If you go to your Battle Pass page after a match, you will see the actual XP amount in the XP counter. So no worries, you arent losing out on any XP gained.

We have seen reports where players can no longer earn progress on the Competitive Point bonus progression, and we want to clarify what is going on. After you complete 30 full rounds of progression, earning a total of 3,000 bonus Competitive Points, you can no longer earn any additional Competitive Point bonuses for the remainder of the season. However, you can still earn Competitive Points when you win and draw games outside of the bonus progression. The purpose is to ensure that players are doing the best they can in every Competitive match and not just playing the mode solely to collect Competitive Points that are used to unlock Jade Weapons. Thank you for your feedback and reports, and we wish you luck as you climb the ranks for the remainder of Season 9.

Welcome to the Overwatch Bug Report forum! The primary function of this forum is to collect reports on issues currently affecting Overwatch. Our goal is that this forum will become an extremely valuable tool to the development team, allowing all of us to help make Overwatch the best game it can be.

The quality assurance team will be monitoring this forum continuously, looking for new issues and then adding them to our bug tracking database. We will also move some threads over to the Tech Support Forum if we believe your issue may related to your personal setup as opposed to the Overwatch client itself.

While you may not see us post here...

Greetings heroes!

Overwatch 2 Season 9 is launching on February 13 and will be featuring significant game updates. This patch will also be a “rebase” patch which will require a very large download for all players on all platforms. Rebase patches consolidate our patches into the core game, which in the long run, keeps the final data size of the game client manageable for both PC and console.

You will need to have as much as 38 GB of free space on your system when updating. If you do not have that much space, you can also uninstall the game client and reinstall it in full after the patch goes live on February 13. We understand some of our players may have limited bandwidth or data to download large updates, and we apologize for any inconvenience that this causes you. Thank you for your understanding, and we’ll see you on February 13.

We are aware of an issue that purchasing the Winter Fair Shop Bundle on the Nintendo® Switch will not grant the 575 Event Tickets to unlock the cosmetics in the Winter Fair. We are working to resolve this issue and will grant the tickets to everyone affected at a later date. Note the Winter Fair will remain open through January 15 to redeem items for all platforms. This issue should not affect those who only purchase the Premium Event Pass or only earn tickets on the Free Event Pass.

If you’d rather not wait to receive the 575 tickets from your Winter Fair Bundle purchase, for a limited time, you may request an Overwatch Coin refund by starting a ticket with Blizzard Customer Service. Refunding the bundle will remove all other items, including the Formalwear Legen...

Following up to let all of you know that we have fixed the bug with equipping default weapons and have brought the Hard Light Weapon Skins back to the in-game shop. Cheers!

Original Post

Seasons Greetings, heroes. We encountered an issue where Hard Light weapon skins for Mercy, Reinhardt, and Reaper cannot be unequipped. We are looking to fix this issue in a future update, but for now, we have taken the Hard Light Weapon Skins off of the in-game shop and will bring them back for purchase at a later date.
