Problematic Servers

According to Mike Ybarra as President of Blizzard, one of the most crucial problems when this game was released was that the server was hit by a DDoS attack.

Blizzard said that the items and cosmetics in the Overwatch game will be transferred to Overwatch 2.

However, a lot player who still haven't gotten the item from the first game. Currently, there is no further explanation regarding when this will be completed by Blizzard.

However, Blizzard is aware of this issue and will fix it as soon as possible. Players who don't have old items yet must be forced to play with the default skin.

Paid Characters

This BP from Overwatch 2 has 7 skins Legendary, 5 Epic skins, 2,000 Overwatch Coins and other prizes.
