Items also come in tiers, like Legendary. These include things like a corrosive grenade, a healing station, or a barrier fence. Rather than a loot system like Diablo, Overwatch 2’s item system will supposedly work in much the same way items do in games like Apex Legends and PUBG, according to Kaplan: temporary item pickups that you can use for the duration of the mission. The newly-introduced item system is exclusive to Story Missions. Hero Missions are another new PvE feature, designed to be “deeply replayable” thanks to three factors outlined by Overwatch 2’s directors: varied locations, which will take players across new maps and old constantly changing objectives, which will keep the gameplay fresh and varied and different enemy groups, such as Null Sector, Talon, and “other threats.” Certain objectives or enemy types may demand certain types of heroes to counter, allowing more hands-on time for players stuck playing their main in PVP, Kaplan explained at BlizzCon 2019. Every single story mission will have its own cinematic intro and outro video. They will be heavily curated PvE missions where players will only be able to select from a limited, contextually-relevant roster of characters. Story Missions are a new feature in Overwatch 2.
