Competitive Points

Competitive Points are one of the currencies in Overwatch 2. They can be used to purchase cosmetics, specifically they're used to unlock a heroes Weapon Variants.

Obtaining

In Overwatch 2, players are awarded 10 for a win and 5 for a draw from matches in Competitive Play. Additionally, each match contributed to the Competitive Progression bar, with wins giving 3 progress points, while draws and losses only give 1 progress point. After 30 Progress points, the player earns 100. Players stop earning points from the Competitive Progression bar if they have completed 30 full rounds of progression, earning a total of 3,000 bonus Competitive Points, however they still earn the 10 and 5 from wins and losses.

Starting from Season 12, players can earn additional Competitive Points by participating in Competitive Drives. Drives take place over a weekend toward the end of the season. During a Drive, players gain Drive Points based on the rank progress gained in competitive matches. Upon reaching the first, third and fifth Drive Point checkpoints, players are rewarded 500, 1,000 and 1,500 Competitive Points respectively.

Use

Since the competitive update in Season 9 of Overwatch 2. Competitive Points can only be used to purchase Weapon Variants for heroes. Weapon Variants can be found under the "Weapon Variants" tab in the Heroes view (Heroes > [Hero] > Weapon variants). Currently, all weapon variants cost 3000 to unlock.

Initially the only Weapon Variants purchasable were Golden weapons, but this changed in Season 9 with the introduction of Jade Weapons, which were the only weapon variants purchasable with Competitive Points for that season. This changed in Season 10, where competitive points could be used to buy all available weapon variants, however you couldn't use a mix of Competitive Points and Legacy Competitive Points to purchase previous season weapon variants.

Legacy Competitive Points

At the end of the yearly competitive season, each player's remaining Competitive Points are converted to Legacy Competitive Points. Similarly to Competitive Points, legacy competitive points can be used to unlock Weapon Variants, costing 3000 per variant. However, legacy competitive points can only be used to unlock weapon variants from previous competitive seasons, such as golden weapons.

For the Competitive Progression Bar, you would earn 100 for every 30 Competitive Progress Points. Wins granted 3 Progress point, while draws and losses granted 1 Progress Point.
