Overwatch 2 Season 15 Introduces Tank Perks
Overwatch 2 Season 15 has introduced a new perk system, giving tanks unique upgrades to enhance their playstyle. Each tank hero has two minor perks and two major perks, but players can only select one minor perk and one major perk per match. Choosing the right perks can make a big difference in battle.
Perks are unlocked by dealing damage, securing eliminations, healing allies, or simply playing the game. However, swapping heroes resets perk progression, making it crucial to stay on one hero to maximize their potential.
Listed below you will find all the Tanks and their perks to help you in combat!
