For many players, Loot Boxes provide an exciting way to unlock in-game cosmetics, and Blizzard recently made a subtle but significant adjustment to their drop rates, ensuring better rewards. Let&rsquo;s dive into the details.<\/p>\n<h2>Overwatch 2&#8217;s Loot Box Drops Get Adjustments for Better Rewards in Higher Tiers<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/overwatch-2\/loot-boxes-drop-rates-and-details\">Loot Boxes made their return<\/a> to Overwatch 2 at the start of Season 15, and while players have been enjoying them so far, the developers quietly made a change that wasn&rsquo;t mentioned in any of the recent patch notes. A recent hotfix for Loot Boxes has adjusted all Souvenirs to be of Rare quality, which may seem like a small tweak but has a big impact.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-twitter-extracted-i1740578579398137026=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Souvenirs Updated in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Overwatch2?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Overwatch2<\/a> &#128201;<\/p>\n<p>With Season 15, all Souvenirs were downgraded from Epic to Rare, likely aiming to make Epic rewards in Loot Boxes feel more exciting. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7huvM29s4Z\">pic.twitter.com\/7huvM29s4Z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Overwatch Cavalry (@OWCavalry) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OWCavalry\/status\/1894515080990961673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async><\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p>For those who aren&rsquo;t familiar, <a href=\"https:\/\/overwatch.fandom.com\/wiki\/Souvenirs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Souvenirs<\/a> are small items that your character can use as unique emotes in-game. While each Souvenir is different, the emote itself is always the same. These items are fun but not very desirable as Loot Box drops. With this change, the developers have made it so that Souvenirs will no longer appear in Epic-tier Loot Boxes.<\/p>\n<p>This has a significant effect because it ensures that every Epic-tier Loot Box you receive will be free from Souvenirs, allowing room for more sought-after rewards like skins, victory poses, emotes, weapon charms, and highlight intros. Ultimately, this change improves Epic-tier loot by removing less-desirable items while still keeping Souvenirs available in standard boxes &#8211; it&#8217;s a win-win.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/dnmEfo-KZZKcNxo9o0CuAeOAbpZAfFXi77QBHkMBqbg\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82N2JmMWU3ZTBjNjZjLVNvdXZlbmllcnMgQWRqdXN0ZWQuanBn\" alt=\"Souvenir Drops adjusted\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">The adjustment to Souvenirs, where they drop according to their own rarity, means Epic drops will now only include items like skins, emotes, and other more unique rewards.
