Overwatch 2 has a huge number of collectibles that can be unlocked through Battle Pass progress. One of the latest additions was the Silhouette Icons, which are a nice way to customize players’ profiles. Here’s everything you need to know to get Overwatch 2 Silhouette Icons.

While players wait for the next big event in Overwatch 2 Season 5, there’s a special item that has been getting a lot of attention lately: Silhouette Icons. These image-based rewards are made to customize each user profile with cosmetics themed after their favorite heroes.

Silhouette Icons were first introduced in Overwatch 2 Season 3, and came with a special mechanic to unlock them. To start collecting these rewards, you’ll have to follow certain steps. Here’s how to get a Silhouette Icon in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2: How to get Silhouette Icons as rewards?

You can check your Silhouette Icons in the Customization tab of your Career Profile in Overwatch 2.

Silhouette Icons can be obtained after winning a match 15 times in Overwatch 2. Keep in mind that you’ll have to use the same character you want to collect. For example, if you want Symmetra’s Icon, you’ll have to pick her and win 15 matches. The matches do not have to be won consecutively.

Training or Custom Games won’t help you to achieve this reward. Overwatch 2 also doesn’t register it as a win for that character if you change heroes at the end of a match. You’ll have to play with your character from the beginning to the end of a match.

There are a total of 36 Silhouette Icons in Overwatch 2 and players will be able to see their current progress by navigating to the Challenge Menu and opening up the Hero Tab. After unlocking a specific Silhouette, you can go to the Career Profile and click on the Customization tab. In the Overwatch category, you’ll find your recently unlocked Silhouette Icons, and you can equip them from there.
