Overwatch 2 Season 18 Competitive Drives
You can now duke it out in the Competitive Play game mode and raise your Drive Score as high as possible for Competitive Points and the new Drive Signatures. You have until Oct. 14 to do this since that's the end of Overwatch 2 Season 18 and the start of Season 19.
As indicated in the screenshot below, there are certain Drive Score checkpoints to go for during this time. These save your progress even if you lose a match. Winning a match results in 210 points while losses are calculated based on your current checkpoint. You can lose up to 63 points. Additionally, if you're playing in a group, then you get a bonus 50 Drive Score after winning a match.
