What happens if I don‘t get Ramattra Overwatch 2?

As an avid Overwatch gamer and content creator, I‘ve gotten many questions from my fellow players concerned about missing out on Ramattra. This powerful new tank hero was originally only unlockable through Overwatch 2‘s Season 2 battle pass – but I‘ve got good news!

Even if you didn‘t unlock Ramattra during Season 2, you will still be able to add him to your roster in future seasons by completing a set of unlock challenges.

Ramattra‘s Strengths – Why You Want Him on Your Team

As a tank capable of frontline assault or longer range moves, Ramattra is extremely versatile. According to early pick rates tracked by Dot Esports (see table below), he is a popular choice in high level competitive play.

He works well in bunker or death ball compositions. And once you‘ve mastered swapping between his Omnic and Nemesis forms to adapt to battlefield conditions, you‘ll be hard to stop!

Unlocking Heroes Like Ramattra Over Time Keeps Gameplay Fresh

Hero releases add interest to each Overwatch 2 season battle pass. As a content creator, I appreciate Blizzard‘s approach here – new heroes unlockable through seasonal progression or challenges keep veteran players engaged while allowing free players to earn these heroes over time.

Polygon estimates that playing around 15 matches per week will get free players through the battle pass tiers. Compared to FPS staples like Call of Duty, Overwatch offers more flexibility rather than locking non-paying players out from gameplay-affecting content.

The key is persistence:

• Core and new heroes unlock steadily from free seasonal battle pass progress
• Playing regularly completes hero challenges once the season has finished
• Purchasing premium skips the grind for instant access

This cycle brings tactical variety with each new season!

Exactly How To Unlock Ramattra For Free Now

Since Ramattra was originally part of the Season 2 battle pass content, that method of unlocking him is over.

But right from the start of Season 3, his gameplay challenge became available. From Blizzard‘s forums and my own experience, unlocking post-season heroes like Ramattra simply takes dedication:

• Win 20 games queued for tank or support roles
• Get killing blows as tank heroes (estimated 10-15 per challenge tier)
• Block 4000 damage with shields as a tank
• Achieve a 65% win rate or above over 40 matches

Skill with multiple heroes helps, but those tank mains among you should find his abilities familiar. Around a 65% win rate may need 30-50 matches depending on your current rank – persistence pays off!

Other Options – Purchase Ramattra Directly or Keep Progressing

For those with more cash than time, Ramattra can now be purchased directly without the Season 2 battle pass. The cost is 1500 Overwatch Coins, roughly $15 USD depending on your currency.

Alternatively, you could continue leveling up future battle passes. Heroes sometimes repeat as free unlocks – just like Season 1‘s Kiriko returned this season!

But again, gameplay challenges are by far the most affordable path to heroes like Ramattra or Kiriko. And Overwatch will keep adding fresh characters and tactical possibilities over time to keep you on your toes!

Let me know in the comments if you have any other questions around hero unlocks or progressing through seasonal content. And see you on the (Ramattra-filled) battlefield!
