To be able to fix the “Weekly Challenges Bugged” error in Overwatch 2, there are a few things that you will be required to do.


1) Check the shooter’s server status

The first thing that you will be required to do is to check for the shooter’s server status on Blizzard’s official page. Oftentimes, when weekly missions go completely missing from the page, it is due to issues from the developer's end.

Hence, you will need to check if the servers for the shooter are working every time you encounter this problem.

If Blizzard is indeed having issues with it and is about to take the server down for maintenance, then you will just have to wait it out before Overwatch 2 is back online again.


2) Restart the game

The next thing you can try out is to restart the game and the Battle.net client. Many in the community have confirmed that restarting the shooter seems to have fixed the problem, albeit temporarily.

Hence, it’s something that you can try out as well if you face the “Weekly Challenges Bugged” error.


3) Uninstall and reinstall the game

Although it might feel like one of the most drastic steps to take, it's still quite a viable one, and you might look into uninstalling and then reinstalling Overwatch 2 from scratch. If the issue is with a corrupt file of the game which is on your system, reinstalling the game might just fix it and root out the “Weekly Challenges Bugged” error.

4) Wait for a patch or hotfix

If you are still having an issue with the “Weekly Challenges Bugged” error in Overwatch 2, you should consider submitting a ticket to Blizzard Support.
