Blizzard is offering Overwatch players in-game compensation after bugs prevented some from completing certain challenges during the Talon x Overwatch event. The completion requirements for other tasks will also be lowered to counteract time lost.

A statement on Blizzard's forums informs players that anyone who completed at least one event challenge in the first week of the event will automatically receive in-game compensation. This will include all of the rewards from both faction base passes and two prestige passes. This is because many players were unable to switch factions during the event in order to complete both passes.
