Open Overwatch 2. Like all new heroes, Lifeweaver is unlocked via gameplay challenges. At one point, you could purchase him via the Battle Pass, but now that he's cycled out, you can only get him by completing challenges. [1] X Research source -
Scroll down to Challenges and go to the Hero tab. You can do this directly from the main menu. All of the hero challenges are located here, but new characters are highlighted in orange and locked characters have a lock icon by their name.Advertisement -
Select Lifeweaver and scroll over to Activate Challenges . It's an orange button under Lifeweaver's name. If the button is grayed out, look up to see if Lifeweaver is already your active hero (it'll say so near the top of the Challenges menu). -
Complete all of the unlock challenges. It will take several games to complete the challenges, but you can start with the easy ones that only require being in the practice range. At minimum, it will take 35 wins to unlock Lifeweaver.- Once you've completed all of the challenges, Lifeweaver will be unlocked and you'll be able to use him in all areas of the game, not just the practice range.

Tips
- The quickest way to complete Wins for Lifeweaver is to queue as "All Roles," but make sure you're not actually queued as Tank or DPS, as hard-queueing for these roles will not count towards your challenge progress.Thanks
- Swapping your active hero for hero Challenges will not reset any progress you've made; for example, if you've already started progressing Ramattra challenges but you want to get Lifeweaver first, activating Lifeweaver's challenges will not reset your Ramattra challenges.Thanks
- If you don't complete Lifeweaver's challenges before the season ends, your progress will carry over to the new season.Thanks
