Battlegrounds Patch 24.2 Minions, Heroes & Quests Reveals (Updated)

Update: Five more Quest rewards revealed by Tyler.

Update #2: Four more Quest rewards revealed by awedragon.

Update #3: Eight more Quest rewards revealed by Ding and Portia.

Update #4: Four more Quest rewards revealed by PlayHearthstone’s TikTok channel.

Update #5: A bunch of new minion and minion changes were revealed by EducatedCollins and Shadybunny. I think those should be all of the reveals.

A big update is coming to Battlegrounds on August 30 – Patch 24.2 will mark the beginning on the new Season. Season 2 is adding a mechanic called Quests, rewards track & BG XP system, and of course a bunch of new minions & heroes.

However, we didn’t see all of the new minions & heroes right away. They will be showcased by different outlets and content creators later today and tomorrow. We’ll keep updating this post as more are revealed.

Here are the ones we’ve seen so far:

Quests

Quest requirements will be randomly matched with rewards. As you can see, not all Quest rewards are on the same power level. But don’t worry about that – quest/requirement pairings will get adjusted depending on the difficulty. More powerful rewards will have higher requirements, and vice versa – weaker Quests will be easy to complete. You will often have to pick between fast, but smaller reward now (tempo) and a bigger reward that will only come online in the late game (long-term value).

Quest Requirements:

  • Witness Protection – Have a friendly Taunt minion attacked 8 times.
  • Unmask the Culprit – Lose or tie 3 combats.
  • Track the Footprints – Have Bob’s Tavern refreshed 10 times.
  • Sort it all Out – Order your minions from lowest to highest Attack for 4 combats.
  • Invite the Guests – Buy 7 minions.
  • Find the Murder Weapon – Increase a friendly minion’s stats 15 times.
  • Follow the Money – Spend 25 gold.
  • Exhume the Bones – Trigger 6 friendly Deathrattles.
  • Dust for Prints – Add 15 cards to your hand.
  • Cry for Help – Play 6 Battlecry minions.
  • ??? – Play 4 Nagas or Demons. (My guess is that tribes change randomly depending on what’s available in the match.)
  • ??? –  Summon 20 minions.
  • ??? – Have 18 friendly minions die.

Quest Rewards:

  • The Smoking Gun – Your minions have +5 Attack.
  • Evil Twin – Start of Combat: Summon a copy of your highest-Health minion.
  • Another Hidden Body – Discover a minion of your Tavern Tier (can be earned endlessly!)

  • Ghastly Mask – Add ‘another card’ to your hand. Your end of turn effects trigger twice. (We don’t know what “another card” is, we’ll let you know as soon as we find out.)

    Some of those rewards seem to be very strong – I guess their quests should be more difficult to complete, but still. I’m talking about those 2:
    Stolen Gold – Left and right most minions golden – any build with Baron would love that. Maybe Macaw as the left most?
    Anima Bribe – unless I’m missing something, that looks like Daryl, just much better, because you can also sell your big minions for full value

      I’ll copy it from the article:

      “Some pairings will get adjusted depending on the difficulty – more powerful rewards might have higher Quest requirements, and vice versa.”

    I’m guessing the quests will be available for all temporarily and be removed later for all but the new hero, just like with the Darkmoon prizes (and maybe be available later again for special occasions, just as the prizes, too).

      Probably yes, I suspect that those extra mechanics like Darkmoon Prizes, Buddies and now Quests will be rotated in and out from time to time.
