Following the release of Season 9, the developers added Jade weapons in Overwatch 2 to the list of weapon Cosmetics. Players will no longer be able to obtain Gold weapons since Jade weapons will replace them in Blizzard’s 5v5 shooter’s competitive reward section.
Apart from this weapon change, the developers have introduced a more promising competitive rework with a transparent ranking system to trace their wins and losses, a massive update for Pharah, new crossover events, and more.
This is expected to be one of the most promising updates introduced by the Overwatch developers. Let’s learn more about the new Jade weapons and how to get them in Overwatch 2.
