Discover essential Overwatch 2 Nepal health pack locations and survival tips for mastering this challenging control map in 2026.

The snow-covered peaks of Nepal remain one of Overwatch 2's most challenging control maps in 2026, with its tight corridors and close-quarter choke points still creating some of the most intense battles in the game. "You snooze, you lose" has never been more applicable than when fighting for control in Nepal's three distinct areas. Knowing where to find health packs across Village, Shrine, and Sanctum can be the difference between clutching a victory or rage-quitting after another devastating defeat.

Village: Navigate the Labyrinth

Village's layout continues to confuse new players with its maze-like structure. The symmetrical design means both teams have equal access to healing resources, but finding them in the heat of battle can be a real pain in the ass.

The developers at Blizzard placed small health packs (75 HP with a 10-second cooldown) just outside the upper exits of both spawn rooms. These are perfect for a quick top-up before diving into the fray.

For those who need more substantial healing, large health packs (250 HP with a 15-second cooldown) can be found:

• At the top of the hill marked by four painted pillars (protected by lattice fences)

• On outcropping areas down nearby alleyways

• In rooms directly opposite both staircases in the upper area above the objective

One small health pack that players often overlook sits in the corner just past the wooden bridge near the lattice fence. Another small pack can be found directly south of the capture point on a wooden outcropping - though be careful, as it's dangerously close to the edge of the map.

"When the going gets tough, the tough get health packs," as veteran Overwatch player MoonMoon famously said during the 2025 World Cup. His team's strategic use of Village's health pack locations helped secure North America's first championship in years.

Shrine: Compact but Crucial

Shrine's compact design makes its health packs relatively easier to locate, though they still require players to step away from the objective. The recent 2026 map update added subtle lighting effects to make health pack locations more visible without compromising the map's aesthetic.

Large health packs in Shrine can be found:

• Opposite the bottom of the stairs when exiting spawn

• In rooms directly opposite the staircase on the other side of each spawn exit

• In rooms to the north of the capture point's side staircases

There's a small health pack in the room to the right (or left, depending on spawn side) of the staircase. Additionally, don't forget about the large health pack beneath the enormous elephant statue under the Shrine objective - it's a lifesaver during overtime pushes.

As the pros say, "Health packs are like good friends - you don't realize how much you need them until they're not there."

Sanctum: Zenyatta's Healing Haven

Sanctum, with its indoor setup and tight corners, houses all its health packs in relatively close proximity. This area of Nepal has become particularly popular in the 2026 meta due to its balance of enclosed spaces and vertical play opportunities.

The health pack distribution in Sanctum follows this pattern:

1. Large health pack in a room up the stairs from the lower spawn exit

2. Large health pack straight inside from both spawn rooms' main paths

3. Small health pack on a landing in the lower part of the temple

4. Large health packs directly above and below the central objective

The pack below the objective, located in a small outdoor area, has become known as the "clutch corner" among high-ranked players. Meanwhile, the upper section's health pack sits in a room just beyond the objective and can be accessed by dropping through the gap near the opposing wall.

Strategic Considerations for 2026

The current meta heavily favors heroes who can quickly navigate Nepal's tight spaces while maintaining pressure on objectives. As one pro player put it, "Nepal isn't just about aim - it's about big brain plays and knowing when to dip for heals."

Consider these tactical approaches when playing on Nepal:

• 🛡️ Tank players: Position yourself to deny enemy access to large health packs during team fights

• 🔫 DPS players: Memorize health pack locations for quick escapes when supports are occupied

• 💉 Support players: Communicate with teammates about which health packs are available when your healing resources are depleted

The 2026 Overwatch League statistics show that teams with superior health pack control on Nepal win approximately 68% of matches on this map. That's no small potatoes!

Nepal's Unique Challenges

Each section of Nepal presents distinct challenges:

Section	Terrain Characteristics	Health Pack Accessibility	Best Hero Types
Village	Maze-like, multiple paths	Moderate, often hidden	Flankers, mobile heroes
Shrine	Compact, open center	Easy, but away from objective	Brawlers, mid-range heroes
Sanctum	Indoor, vertical play	Very accessible	Aerial attackers, close-range heroes

The game director recently noted in the 2026 Developer Update that Nepal remains one of the most balanced maps in the game, with win rates hovering near 50% for both attacking and defending teams across all skill tiers.

Final Thoughts

Nepal's health pack locations may seem overwhelming at first, but with practice, finding them will become second nature. As they say in the Overwatch community, "Know thy health packs, and victory shall follow."

Whether you're a tank creating space, a DPS securing eliminations, or a support keeping everyone alive, understanding the layout of health packs on Nepal will elevate your game to new heights. After all, in the words of the immortal Zenyatta, "The path to victory is through healing and harmony" - and sometimes, that healing comes in the form of a glowing health pack in the corner of Sanctum.

So next time you're battling for control on the snowy peaks of Nepal, remember: a well-timed health pack grab might just be the clutch play that turns the tide in your favor. GG EZ, as they say! 😎
