Overwatch 2 comes jam-packed with different modes to take on (Unranked, Arcade and Training) but the most testing of them all is Competitive Play.<\/p>\n
Competitive mode makes you battle it out against other Overwatch 2 players and ranks you based on your performance \u2013 the better you do, the more Competitive Points you get.<\/p>\n
The higher you rank, the better players you get to team up with and play against.<\/p>\n
Ready to take it on for yourself? Read on to find out everything you need to know about Overwatch 2 Competitive mode and how to rise up the ranks.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, unlike the original Overwatch, players no longer need to reach level 25 to partake in Competitive mode. Instead, players can, in theory, unlock Competitive mode in Overwatch 2 by winning 50 Quick Play matches \u2013 only Role Queue and Open Queue will count.<\/p>\n
If you manage to team up with super skilled players, you can fly through this requirement pretty quickly \u2013 but game developers Blizzard actually brought the challenge in to \u201cprepare new players for the intensity of Competitive mode\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gives new players time to prepare for the higher expectations that come with Competitive, while veteran players don\u2019t feel discouraged by teammates who have less experience. In the process of unlocking Competitive, we analyse new player skill levels to optimise matchmaking in a way that feels good to everyone,\u201d Blizzard wrote in a blog post.<\/p>
The Overwatch 2 ranks are:<\/p>\n
Each of the rankings above are split into five levels that a player must work through in order to progress to the next rank \u2013 to make it to Silver, Bronze players need to make it through Bronze 5, Bronze 4, Bronze 3, Bronze 2 and Bronze 1 to move up.<\/p>\n
In terms of what those numbers mean, the skill level gets higher as the number gets lower, so Bronze 1 is the upper echelon of the Bronze rank, Silver 1 is the highest Silver rank, and so forth.<\/p>\n
