Introduction:
Overwatch is a game created by Blizzard, the company that brought us Warcraft, Diablo, Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone. They make top quality games, and this is no exception. They focus highly on hero characters, and give plenty of them to choose from. This is a first person shooter, with classes, similar to other games you may have played before. The achievement list is quite brutal, with a lot of them requiring luck and skill to obtain them. Because of it being multiplayer, a lot of your achievements depend highly on situations that occur outside of your control. They aren't always around each other. This is not a game where the multiplayer will become obsolete. Blizzard has a high success rate of players who continue to play. This game will last a long time, with many updates.
NOTE: Gameplay and tips on characters can change drastically with updates. Some characters are weakened or strengthened, which could make it easier or harder to gain achievements. When new characters are added, it could also change conditions. This guide, therefore, will never be complete all the time.
Abbreviated Walkthrough:
Unlike most games with guides, there is only really one step. It is all multiplayer. Every character has 2 specific achievements related to them. The rest of the achievements are based on doing well in matches (specific results). You must earn these achievements through hard fought battles, experience with each character, and an understanding of how all of the mechanics work. Keep on playing until you get all of the achievements. Luck and persistence.
Ana DLC
Introduction:
Ana is the first DLC and new character to Overwatch. Adding to the already strong support class team, Ana has a nice mix of moves to help a team push towards an objective. From healing and doing damage overtime from a distance, she’s also got move that’ll halt or hinder the enemy in one shot.
?Online:
With Ana come two new achievements. One is linked to her ultimate Nano Boost and the other her Sleep Dart. In theory, both of these are not that challenging to obtain but like the main game, it all comes down to how well you can play has her and the team you’re with. You’ll find it a lot easier if you’re with a buddy or a group of friends as you’ll then be able to plan your attacks and link up your moves for a better outcome.
Conclusion:
Overall, you’re really not looking at a hard 100%. "Naptime" should come naturally as long as you listen out for the enemy ultimate signs but "Enabler" will be the one that takes a little more time.
Halloween Terror 2016 DLC
Introduction:
Halloween Terror is a timed event taking place between October 11th to November 1st; starting in 2016. It includes seasonal loot boxes and Junkestein's Revenge, which is a 4-player PvE brawl mode with three distinct difficulties.
Abbreviated Walkthrough:
In order to complete all four achievements in this Title Update, you will want to start off by getting familiar with the mode and completing a run on medium to unlock "Survived the Night." You will then want to rotate and win using the other 3 heroes in order to unlock "Four They Were." Those two didn't require too much skill, but up next you will have to complete a full run on Medium without taking any damage to your door to unlock "Not A Scratch." Lastly, you will have to complete a run on Hard to unlock "Held The Door." This can take extremely skilled teams as little as a few hours, but may take some teams significantly longer. Hard will require a lot of skill, so not every team will be capable of completing it.
Sombra DLC
Introduction:
Sombra is the second new character to Overwatch. Joining the offence side of the game, Sombra brings great mix of moves to the cripple the enemy team. She's character that plays from the shadows where she can time her attacks without worry or hinder the other team with her hacks.
?Online:
Sombra's main role is to hack and with that her 2 achievements are linked to this move. Both achievements though can be a little tricky if you're trying to play her actual role of offence, so it's best to stay back and play from the shadows and wait for the perfect moment. Her hack move has a great range, so feel like you have to get up and personal when going for the "Hack the Planet" achievement. For "Power Outage," you're going have be at the right place at the right time or hope you have teammates like Zarya to help bunch up the enemy.
Conclusion:
Overall, you’re really not looking at a hard 100%. "Power Outage" will be the achievement which will take you a little more time as it's partially luck based, but with a bit of practice "Hack the Planet" should come naturally.
Winter Wonderland 2016 DLC
Introduction:
Welcome to Overwatch's Winter Wonderland 2016. The first winter season content of the game which introduced Mei's Snowball Offensive to the mix. This game mode pits 2 teams of Mei's up against each other in one epic snowball fight. There are a total of 4 achievements to unlock during this limited time content.
Online:
Mei’s Snowball Offensive is a 6v6, single-elimination game mode where you must shoot a snowball at the opposing team to eliminate them and win 3 rounds. In this brawl, Mei's Endothermic Blaster no longer unleashes a stream of frost or shoots icicles. Instead, it's been modified to fire a single, super-powered snowball. Taking down an enemy only takes one hit, but a miss can be costly. Once your weapon is empty, your enemies will have the advantage as you search for the nearest snow pile to reload, so don't forget to cover your retreat with ice walls and cryo-freeze to block their attacks—and when the battle starts to heat up, you can activate Mei's Ultimate, which turns her blaster into a semi-automatic snowball launcher, allowing you to fire continuously as your enemies scatter.
The game itself isn't hard but the achievements can be a little trickier as you'll either require a good team or a lot of luck. Some will hopefully unlock naturally and with a bit of planning.
Missable/Unobtainable:
The achievements will become missable/unobtainable once the seasonal event ends. It's worth noting that the events do launch again when the season comes back around the following year but it's not always guaranteed that it'll be the same event/game mode or it'll then be in rotation with a new one.
If the event does not come back around and is fully replaced with something new, then this means that all following achievements could become unobtainable. Though Blizzard does on occasion for their Anniversary events, relaunch previous seasonal events/game modes for you to play, so this will be your chance to unlock them.
Year of the Rooster DLC
Introduction:
Welcome to the Lunar New Year event which is currently either known as Year of the Rooster and Dog. Both yearly events are the same mode which is Capture the Flag game mode. Both years had this event but it was across two different maps, but this does not change anything with the achievements.
?Online:
Both teams have a flag near their spawn room that the other team must capture. A player can pick up the other team's flag after a short capture time, and their team gains a point if it is taken to their team's flag spot. However, the flag will be dropped if the player is killed, uses a special move and it can then be returned to its start if the other team captures it back. Both achievements are easy to obtain, but one will require you to either have a good team and right players in use.
?Missable/Unobtainable:
The achievements will become missable/unobtainable once the seasonal event ends. It's worth noting that the events do launch again when the season comes back around the following year but it's not always guaranteed that it'll be the same event/game mode or it'll then be in rotation with a new one.
If the event does not come back around and is fully replaced with something new, then this means that all following achievements could become unobtainable. Though Blizzard does on occasion for their Anniversary events, relaunch previous seasonal events/game modes for you to play, so this will be your chance to unlock them.
Orisa DLC
Introduction:
Orisa is the third character to be added into the Overwatch universe and works alongside the other Tanks. She's got a mix of moves which consist of helping block attacks and damage being dealt to both you and your teammate. While her other move, helps keep the enemy in your line of sight to get those extra kills.
?Online:
Orisa's moves are pretty standard and not hard to use, but putting them to use for the achievements can be a little tricky and you'll need a little bit of luck. "Overclocked" isn't too bad but you'll have to make sure you use it at the right time when a possible ultimate from another teammate is being used. This will maximise the amount of damage being dealt in one go. "Halt State" on the other hand is a little more trickier but if you can somehow link it again when a teammates ultimate is being used, then this will get you the best results.
Conclusion:
Orisa is one of the trickiest characters to get both achievements on as it requires a good team with some luck of the enemy players bunching up. Keep at it though and luck will prevail.
Summer Games 2017 DLC
Introduction:
Welcome to the Summer Games and the contents event - Lucioball. This futuristic spin on soccer places you in a fast-paced 3v3 match in three special arenas. Players can choose between two modes: Lucioball and Copa Lucioball, which offers a more competitive experience with placement matches, skill ratings tiers, leaderboards, competitive points and much more.
?Online:
There are two teams of three Lucios, with a modified moveset. The objective is to knock the ball into the opposing team's goal. The team with the most points when the timer runs out wins. Lucio's moves have changed a little for this seasonal event, so below is a quick breakdown:
- Sonic Amplifier: Yo only have access to your alt-fire and not primary attack. This now only works on the football and not other players
- Crossfade/Amp It Up: Crossfade is constantly on the speed boost and can be amplified by 'Amp It Up'
- Sound Barrier: Once you trigger your ultimate, you'll be given a massive speed boost for a limited time
The achievements for this event are pretty straightforward and as long as you get involved into the game, they should come naturally. I'd suggest you play through a few games to learn the ropes and on how best to hit the ball to get maximum speed/air out of it. It's also worth just practicing jumping off the launch pads and riding the walls for the "Volley" achievement as this one is the trickiest out of the 3.
?Missable/Unobtainable:
The achievements will become missable/unobtainable once the seasonal event ends. It's worth noting that the events do launch again when the season comes back around the following year but it's not always guaranteed that it'll be the same event/game mode or it'll then be in rotation with a new one.
If the event does not come back around and is fully replaced with something new, then this means that all following achievements could become unobtainable. Though Blizzard does on occasion for their Anniversary events, relaunch previous seasonal events/game modes for you to play, so this will be your chance to unlock them.
Winter Wonderland 2017 DLC
Introduction:
Welcome to Overwatch's Winter Wonderland 2017. This second season of content now introduces Yeti Hunter. This 6-player brawl sets 5 Mei's against one Yeti player who utilises Winston’s abilities. There are a total of 2 achievements to unlock during this limited time content.
Online:
The concept of the game is for the Yeti to gather meat to unlock a powerful rage ability adding immunity to freeze and more powerful bonuses. The Mei's try to find and eliminate their woolly opponent before he’s consumed enough meat. The Mei players have a new tool in their arsenal, though - a modified “Yeti Trap” ultimate ability.
The two new achievements are fairly simply and easy to achieve compared to the games previous seasons content. The round starts with 5 Mei's and 1 Winston Yeti. The Mei's have a total of 5 lives in which they must kill the Yeti, while the Yeti's task is to diminish all 5 lives of the Mei's and to help, he can eat the meat scattered about to help him rage and buff his health.
Missable/Unobtainable:
The achievements will become missable/unobtainable once the seasonal event ends. It's worth noting that the events do launch again when the season comes back around the following year but it's not always guaranteed that it'll be the same event/game mode or it'll then be in rotation with a new one.
If the event does not come back around and is fully replaced with something new, then this means that all following achievements could become unobtainable. Though Blizzard does on occasion for their Anniversary events, relaunch previous seasonal events/game modes for you to play, so this will be your chance to unlock them.
Overall Conclusion:
Playing over and over again is the only way to get a full completion. Most of it is based on luck combined with skill. There is no 100% guarantee that you will get achievements by following this guide, or being extremely good at the game. The randomness of situations can slow the progress down severely. Being on a good team helps in some ways, but being on bad teams can help as well. For example, getting four kills with certain ultimate powers. The worse your team is doing, the more likely there are several enemies grouped up on the defence point. This game is a lot of fun, and the challenging, time consuming achievements have enough flavour to have you switching characters to get a full feel of the game.
