Still a premier name in the hero shooter scene, Overwatch 2\u2019s changes from the original have managed to help keep its core audience.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-692714659a1f8\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>A part of these changes has come from the Overwatch hero perks system, introduced in Season 15: Honor and Glory. Each hero has four perks to choose from, all of which will be listed below and separated into Overwatch 2\u2019s three classes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-heading-692714659a8fa\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"what_are_hero_perks_in_overwatch_2-2\">What are hero perks in Overwatch 2?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-692714659af66\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Overwatch perks act as upgrades to heroes\u2019 abilities. They require players to level up to unlock them through XP. These perks do not transfer between heroes, meaning that if a player switches character mid-game, they will have to level up again to gain perks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-692714659b611\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Perks are minor or major. Minor perks are small upgrades, such as reducing ability cooldowns. Major perks can have a massive effect on an ability and even rework its functionality. As some perks have been removed, only the currently available options will be shown in our Overwatch perks list.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-heading-692714659bc90\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"all_overwatch_2_hero_perks_explainednbsp-2\">All Overwatch 2 hero perks explained&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-heading-692714659c2be\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"ow2_tank_hero_perks-2\">OW2 Tank Hero Perks<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Reinhardt from Overwatch 2\" class=\"wp-image-216733 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.declareitspiritwear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/OW2-Tank-Hero-Perks-large.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In-game render of Reinhardt from Overwatch 2 \/ Image credit: Blizzard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Hero<\/strong><\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Perk<\/strong><\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\" rowspan=\"4\">&nbsp;<strong>D.Va<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Bunny Power (Minor Perk)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Eject grants 75 temporary overhealth and Call Mech&#8217;s damage radius is increased by 50%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Extended Boosters (Minor Perk)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Hitting an enemy with Boosters increases the duration by 0.5 seconds.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Shield System (Major Perk)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Convert 150 health to shields.
