What constitutes a save in Overwatch 2?
Posted On: March 8, 2023

Overwatch 2 now tracks a stat called "players saved", with a notification when you save someone (or when you get saved by someone else). However, with some exceptions, it's not entirely clear what constitutes a "save". The obvious examples are abilities that grant immortality or immunity, but from what I've observed it seems to be more complicated than that. How do you earn a save in Overwatch 2?


Question from user Unionhawk at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

According to Marblr, a save is awarded in cases where a player receives damage and survives. The game checks to see what that player's health was 2 seconds ago. If the damage received would have been lethal 2 seconds ago, then a potential save occurred. The game checks for healing events within the window, and applies save credit if:.


The savior is not the same as the victim (except for special case 1 below).


The savior must not have already saved this victim within 5 seconds.


The savior must have provided the victim with at least 50 healing within the window.


The victim must survive for 0.5 seconds after the save occurred.


Notably, Junker Queen's Commanding Shout and Brigitte's Rally do not award saves according to the above rules, but Lucio's Sound Barrier does. This is likely a bug, since there are circumstances where Junker Queen can "steal" a save from another support. Saves can be earned by any hero with a healing ability, including Soldier 76's Biotic Field, Sombra's Hack, and Genji's Deflect.


Additionally, a save is awarded in the following special cases:.


If Baptiste's Immortality Field prevents a death.


If Mercy's Resurrection reverses a death.
