Overwatch Conquest Week 3: Best Faction Choice and Rewards Guide

Overwatch’s five‑week Conquest event is in Week 3 right now, running until March 16, and you’ll earn progress by picking either Talon or Overwatch, completing week‑specific challenges, and pushing through a short faction pass. Week 3’s unique hook is a global reward: if Talon wins, everyone gets a Mauga‑themed name card; if Overwatch wins, everyone gets a Brigitte‑themed name card. Across the full event, you can earn over 90 loot boxes plus a faction Legendary Echo skin, so your Week 3 choice is mostly about cosmetics and grind efficiency rather than raw power.

If you just want the fastest answer: Talon is the better Week‑3 pick if you like Domina‑themed cosmetics and want to push for the Mauga name card, while Overwatch is ideal if you prefer “mari”‑style hero icons and want to back Brigitte in the global race. Either way, you can complete one faction’s Week‑3 pass, then swap sides for extra loot if you have time. The most efficient way to finish this week is to lock in a faction, spam Stadium matches for double progress, clear your event dailies and weekly challenge, then keep playing to feed your Prestige Pass.

 How to get your Week 3 rewards fast

1. Launch Overwatch and pick either Talon or Overwatch on the Conquest screen before you queue.​

2. Queue Stadium matches whenever possible to get double progress on Week‑3 Conquest challenges.​

3. Focus on the event‑tagged dailies and the weekly Conquest challenge first; these feed your faction pass directly.

4. Finish all five tiers of your chosen Week‑3 faction pass to claim its icons, voice line, and epic loot box.​

5. Keep playing the same faction or swap sides to start filling the other Week‑3 pass for extra rewards.​

6. Once your base pass is done, keep grinding to push your Prestige Pass for more loot boxes over the season.​

Week 3 overview: Dates, structure, and how the event works

Week 3 of Conquest follows the same structure as Weeks 1 and 2: you choose a faction, then earn points by completing event challenges and normal matches to unlock rewards along a short, 5‑step pass. The event runs across five weeks total, and all your Week‑3 progress feeds into the wider Conquest structure that can pay out 75 base loot boxes, 12 epic loot boxes, 7 legendary loot boxes, 31 2D cosmetics, 9 voice lines, 2 weapon charms, and one of two faction Legendary Echo skins.

Your choice of faction in Week 3 matters in two ways: it decides which icons/voice line you get from the weekly pass, and it counts as a “vote” toward which side wins the Mauga vs. Brigitte name card race when Blizzard tallies completed passes. You can change factions after finishing a pass, so you’re never locked out of grinding the other side’s rewards if you still have time that week.

Week 3 rewards: Talon vs. Overwatch

Here’s what you actually get from each Week‑3 faction pass.

Talon Week‑3 pass rewards

If you side with Talon this week and complete the pass, you’ll earn:​

• Domimari player icon

• Cute Domina player icon

• Domina’s Poise name card

• “My Command, Domina” voice line

• 1 epic loot box

These are especially appealing if you’re into Domina’s aesthetic or already committed to the Talon side in earlier weeks.

Overwatch Week‑3 pass rewards

If you pick Overwatch instead, completing that Week‑3 pass gives you:​

• Tracermari player icon

• Winstonmari player icon

• Pharahmari player icon

• “Rise and Grind, Wuyang” voice line

• 1 epic loot box

The “mari” icon set leans into cute versions of core Overwatch heroes, which is great if you’re more attached to the classic roster than the Talon newcomers.​

Week 3 global reward: Mauga or Brigitte name card

At the end of Week 3, Blizzard looks at which faction had more completed passes globally and gives every participating player a name card themed around that week’s winning hero. For this phase, community coverage and in‑game references point to a Mauga name card if Talon wins and a Brigitte name card if Overwatch wins.

Blizzard has not publicly confirmed what happens to the losing side’s name card, or whether it will show up in loot boxes, the shop, or a future event, so you should treat any claims about permanent exclusivity as speculation for now. What is confirmed is that if you play during Week 3 and complete at least one event challenge, you’ll be eligible for the winning side’s name card once it’s granted.

Which faction should you pick in Week 3?

If you’re torn, think about three things: which cosmetics you like more, how invested you are in Mauga vs. Brigitte, and how much time you realistically have this week.

Pick Talon first if:

• You want Domina‑themed cosmetics (Domimari, Cute Domina, Domina’s Poise).​

• You’d prefer a Mauga name card if Talon comes out ahead globally.​

• You’ve already been playing Talon in earlier weeks and want to stay “in character.”​

Pick Overwatch first if:

• You like the Tracermari, Winstonmari, and Pharahmari icon set.​

• You’d rather earn a Brigitte‑flavored name card if Overwatch wins the vote.

• You’re generally more attached to the Overwatch roster and story.​

Because you can finish one pass and then swap, a solid min‑max route is to pick the side whose Week‑3 cosmetics you want more, rush that pass, then flip and claim what you can from the other. If you’re short on time, just pick the cosmetics you care about the most and stick with that faction.

How to progress your Week‑3 pass and Prestige Pass efficiently

To get the most rewards out of Conquest, you’re playing two overlapping systems: the weekly faction passes and the longer‑term Prestige Pass that unlocks after finishing a base pass.​

How Conquest and the Prestige Pass work

• Each Conquest faction has a compact, 5‑tier pass that you advance with event Notoriety from daily and weekly challenges.​

• Once you complete a faction pass, you unlock a Prestige‑style track that continues to grant loot boxes and cosmetics as you keep playing during the season.​

• Blizzard also issued a one‑time compensation bundle (12 base loot boxes, 1 epic, 1 legendary, extra cosmetics, and two Prestige Passes) to players who completed at least one Week‑1 event challenge during the bugged period.​

That compensation is separate from your ongoing Conquest earnings, so if you were active in Week 1 you’ll end Season 1 with well over 90 total loot boxes.
