Overwatch 2 Junkrat's Loot Hunt

This time around, Junkrat's Loot Hunt involves nine event challenges in total. Each challenge requires completing five Overwatch 2 matches, and victories grant double the progress. Stadium wins also give double progress, meaning a single Stadium victory counts four times more than a regular match.

To participate in the event, simply launch Overwatch 2 and jump into the fray in player-versus-player (PvP) matches. As noted, players have between Nov. 20 and Nov. 24 to do this.

Since the Spirit Showdown event is still active, players who haven't finished its challenges can still do so while also earning progress toward Junkrat's Loot Hunt!
