Overwatch's Loot Drop Rate Explained
Loot Boxes in Overwatch are can be frustrating, especially when you're not getting the loot drops you want. Here's how they work.

That /u/ourobouros person sounds familiar. Is it a throwaway or not?

If you play a lot of Overwatch , as more than seven million people do , chances are you've opened your share of loot boxes. Due to random chance, a loot box can have awesome rare skins and animations, or just some voice lines and sprays. While there's nothing you can do to improve your chances of getting more gear, (other than keep playing or buy more boxes,) one redditor by who goes by the username ourobouros has figured out the drop rates.
Using a massive sample size of over one thousand loot crates, which he got from watching streamers and YouTubers play the game, here's what he found:
It looks like the odds of getting that sick Roadhog skin aren't in your favor, as Legendary skins are incredibly hard to come by, with a drop rate of less than 10%. Despite that, you're always guaranteed at least one uncommon item, be it a Rare, Epic, or Legendary one. And as always, the best way to get more loot is just to keep playing the game, but it looks like you'll have to spend a lot of time (or money) to get everything the game has to offer.
What do you think about Overwatch 's drop rates, especially in relation to it's microtransactions ? Let us know in the comments!

Overwatch 2's closed beta isn't as closed as you might think.
Overwatch 2's (opens in new tab) first beta begins on April 26 and you'll be able to get access to it by watching specific streamers like Pokimane, Seagull, and others on Twitch, according to Blizzard's new blog post (opens in new tab) . Even if you don't own the base game, which is required to play the beta, you'll be granted a free trial to it that lasts until the beta ends on May 17.
Beta access through Twitch for Overwatch 2 is more time-limited than most Twitch drops. The Twitch drop periods last from April 27 at 10 am PT until 6 pm PT, so that gives you 8 hours to watch and earn an invite. In order to get access you have to watch 4 hours of one (or across several) of the many streamers that Blizzard has listed in its blog post.
To receive a Twitch drop, you must have your Battle.net account connected to your Twitch account, which you can do in the streaming site's settings. You'll know it's working when every Twitch stream says something like "drops enabled" below the streamer's custom stream title.
The Overwatch 2 beta sounds like it will resemble the alpha I played (opens in new tab) several weeks ago. It will primarily be focused on the game's 5v5 Quick Play mode and custom games. Competitive mode won't be available along with any of the game's tertiary features like account profiles and the player endorsement system.
The beta will include the new railgun-toting hero Sojourn (opens in new tab) as well as the reworked versions of Orisa and Doomfist (opens in new tab) . It's unclear if any new heroes will be made available in the beta at a later day. Blizzard will likely hold those until the next round of testing.
Blizzard has roped in almost 200 streamers into playing Overwatch 2 on Twitch. Many of them will have access to the Overwatch 2 beta so that you can see the game played before you can play it yourself.
The official PlayOverwatch (opens in new tab) Twitch page will have a stream on the same day with developer interviews and a content creator competition. You might want to check that out in particular for some insight into what to expect from the future of the beta, like new heroes and maps.
Blizzard also allows sign ups for the Overwatch 2 beta via its website. If you're chosen, you'll receive an email to the address that's associated with your Battle.net account telling you that you have the ability to download the beta client on the launcher. These emails will go out on April 26, and Blizzard said there's a chance more will go out later in the testing period.
Blizzard said it will hold more Overwatch 2 betas in the future. That's all we currently know, but I wouldn't be surprised if future betas will increase the new hero count and make new modes, like Competitive, available for everyone.
