Looking for every passive ability in Overwatch 2? Then, we have got the full list revealing everything you need to know. Similar to Overwatch, the successor also features a bunch of new characters, each with their own active and passive abilities. Passive abilities are those that either activate without the player’s interaction or only affect the movement or state of the hero or their abilities. Here are all the passive abilities in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 Passive Abilities

Passive abilities are usually activated using the Space bar and those that need a button to press are negated by Hack. Also, not every hero has passive abilities. Overwatch 2 also features brand-new passives for each class. These passives apply to all the class members. Here is a list of every passive ability in Overwatch 2:

Class Passive Abilities

DPS – swapping will allow you to maintain up to 30% of your Ultimate charge instead of going to zero.
Support – every Support character will have passive healing when they don’t take damage for some time.
Tank – all Tank characters get knocked back less compared to others. They generate less Ultimate charge from healing and damage received.
