One of the highlight features of the Overwatch 2 Season 6 Invasion has been the introduction of the new support hero Illari. Since her arrival on 10th August, the last child of the sun has been on every player's wishlist.

To celebrate her arrival, Overwatch 2 has launched a limited-time Illari launch event which offers players various rewards dedicated to the hero for completing certain challenges.

Overwatch 2 Season 6: Illari Launch Event

Most of the challenges are pretty straightforward, requiring players to simply complete a set number of games with wins resulting in double progress for them.

The first four challenges are so simple that most players will complete them without even knowing anything about it, automatically receiving the rewards associated with them.

While the remaining two will require players to play two new game modes in the Arcade - Flashpoint and No Limits.

  • Flashpoint requires players to capture points across two huge maps - Suravasa and New Junk City, the first to secure three out of five points wins.

  • No Limits on the other hand is a classic 5v5 game mode where players are allowed to select any hero, even the locked in ones without any limitations.

Hopefully most players will be able to complete the Illari launch event before time runs out because it is around till 22nd August only. In case you are late to the party there is still time, you just need to rush a bit.
