Getting Your Favorite Hero Silhouette in Overwatch 2

The new hero silhouette icons (profile-oriented) can be easily acquired for each hero by winning matches. So, for example, when you win 15 games with Ana, you will get her silhouette. However, on your path to getting the profile-oriented silhouette, you will first get a frontal-oriented one s and an ability icon by getting 5 and 10 wins respectively. So to break it down:

  • 5 wins – frontal-looking silhouette icon
  • 10 wins – hero’s signature ability icon
  • 15 wins – profile silhouette (newly introduced)

These can be used as your profile picture to show off to others that you are proficient with a particular hero. Hero Silhouettes are available for all heroes and you can see what they all look like by selecting Challenges, and then Hero.

How Can I Get More Customizations in Overwatch 2?

There are hundreds of icons that you can acquire in Overwatch 2 and use as your profile picture. Some of them are obtained through achievements while others can be found in chests. In-game customization also includes things like emotes that your favorite hero can perform, the play of the game animations, sprays, and different hero skins.

Some of these will be always available while others will be event exclusives so make sure you check if your favorite customization is available right now, and if not when can you expect to get it.
