The players of Overwatch are frustrated. Are they being teased with loot? Or is there an annoying bug?
Those who want to collect as many loot boxes as possible in Overwatch to always have the latest cosmetic upgrades for a character must play a lot. Because every time you reach a level, a new box awaits. A few bonus boxes are awarded for certain actions in the game – such as for the first 9 wins in the arcade per week (3 boxes). Another box is given when you step out of your comfort zone and try out a new game mode – like Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch.
However, this is precisely where a problem keeps occurring. Because there should actually be a loot box for playing the mode “Deathmatch” for the first time. In many cases, this does not happen – players simply do not receive it.
A victory also does not bring a loot box
Some have speculated that you not only have to place in the top 4 for this loot box, but actually need to finish in 1st place to get it. This has further fueled player frustration as they desperately tried to come out on top after 10-20 matches. But that is also not the case. The additional loot box is simply unavailable to many players – a clear bug.
Blizzard has since spoken out in the official forum and stated that they want to look into this problem and thanked for the numerous reports.
So a little tip for everyone: Don’t try to get the bonus box advertised in the Deathmatch menu. It will probably take a few days before Blizzard fixes this issue.
