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.
