Overwatch 2 grants free loot boxes with Junkrat’s Loot Box Hunt event

Overwatch 2 players can soon earn some extra loot boxes thanks to the Junkrat's Loot Box Hunt event. Here's everything we know about it so far plus other ways that you can obtain loot boxes in the game.

The Overwatch 2 Junkrat's Loot Box Hunt event kicks off on June 6 and ends on June 8, giving you this Friday and the rest of the weekend to earn up to nine loot boxes. You can unlock three Overwatch 2 loot boxes a day. According to the game's official account on X and Threads, you must complete some Junkrat's Loot Box Hunt challenges and hit daily milestones to obtain these items.

Overwatch 2 already has a bunch of daily challenges that range from playing three games in certain queues to winning at least one match. At the time of publishing this article, we don't know if the Junkrat's Loot Box Hunt dailies would be any different, but below is a screenshot with some of our daily challenges to give you some idea of what the challenges could look like.

If these nine Overwatch 2 loot boxes aren't enough, then you can go about completing 27 matches on a weekly basis for a few more of them. The Overwatch Stadium Initiation event, which goes on until June 24, also features two epic loot boxes. Getting these two extra ones require completing 15 games of Stadium and completing two Stadium matches in a group.

Other ways to unlock Overwatch 2 loot boxes include progressing through the seasonal Battle Pass, completing limited-time Discord Quests, and participating in some more in-game event challenges whenever new ones go live.
