Aside from skins and emotes, Overwatch 2 has plenty of other cosmetics that you can collect as you play as well. Souvenirs are one such example, allowing you to add a bit of flair to your heroes whenever you enter a match. Here’s how to get and use Souvenirs in Overwatch 2.

Getting Souvenirs in Overwatch 2

Since lootboxes have been abolished in Overwatch 2, the only way to get Souvenirs in the game is by leveling up the Battle Pass. The paid track will have a ton more cosmetics for you to unlock, but the free track does offer some goodies as well.

Once you boot up the game, select the Battle Pass from the menu and have a look at the various tier rewards to see when you’ll be able to unlock Souvenirs. Using the Season 1 Battle Pass as an example, the Mechanical Brain Souvenir is unlocked at level 7, while the Pineapple Pizza is unlocked at level 23.

Upon hitting those respective tiers on the Battle Pass, you’ll then unlock those Souvenirs, and you’ll be able to show them off in-game.

How to Use Souvenirs in Overwatch 2

Now that you have some Souvenirs, it’s time to actually equip them.

From the menu, choose the Heroes option.
Select the character you want to equip the Souvenir with.
Select the Collectibles option, then choose your newly unlocked Souvenir, and hit the Equip button at the bottom.
You’ll be asked to assign it to one of your emote slots.
While in-game, hold down the C button to bring up the command wheel.
While holding down C, hit right-click to access your emotes, then choose the Souvenir name.
Your character will then pose and show off the Souvenir you’ve equipped.

So essentially, Souvenirs are like emotes in Overwatch 2, and they’re purely cosmetic. It can be fun to show them off to your teammates before a match starts, but that’s about it.

That’s all you need to know about how to get and use Souvenirs in Overwatch 2. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game, including our take on the FTUE, whether it has cross-play and progression, as well as our final preview.
