What are Competitive Points in Overwatch?
Competitive Points (CP) are the currency you earn by playing competitive matches in Overwatch: 10 CP per win and 5 CP per draw. You spend them in the Hero Gallery on competitive weapon variants, such as the Galactic weapons, which cost 3,000 CP each.
How you earn Competitive Points
- Wins: each competitive win gives 10 CP.
- Draws: a draw gives 5 CP, and losses give nothing.
- [Competitive Drives](term:competitive-drive): some Drive checkpoints reward hundreds of CP at once.
What Competitive Points buy
CP is spent per hero on competitive weapon variants. A Galactic weapon costs 3,000 CP, which is about 300 wins, so a single weapon is a clear sign of how much someone has played that hero in competitive.
Example
A player with 1,200 CP wants a Galactic weapon. They still need 1,800 CP, roughly 180 wins, before they can unlock it.
Competitive Points and boosting
Farming 3,000 CP takes weeks. With Galactic Guns a booster earns the missing points for you, discounting the CP you already have.
