The newly added Halloween event in Overwatch also brought something less noticeable: New achievements!
In the latest Overwatch update, Blizzard added some Halloween festiveness. Along with a bunch of collectible items like skins and voice lines, they also added a new brawl. Junkensteins Revenge is a PVE (player vs. environment, instead of the usual player vs. player) type brawl, and appears to be very well received by the community. The achievements, four in total, will reward you a spray upon completion. If you want more information about the brawl itself, you can find an article about it here.
If you've gotten around to trying out the new brawl, you might have also noticed some of the recently added achievements. They are as follows:
- Survived the Night: Win Junkenstein’s revenge on Medium difficulty
- Held the Door: Win Junkenstein’s revenge on Hard difficulty
- Four They Were: Win Junkenstein’s revenge using each of the four heroes
- Not a Scratch: Win Junkenstein’s revenge on Medium difficulty with no damage to the door
The first two achievements are pretty straight forward. You just need to complete the brawl. But the other two needs a bit more work.
"Four they were" technically requires you to do the brawl four times, one with each hero. If you are queueing with random people, you can if unlucky (or not quick enough) be “stuck” with the same hero more than once.
The biggest trial will be “Not a Scratch.” If you want to get the achievement quick and painless, you might want to consider getting a group for this. Drag some friends along that are clear on the objective. Communication is as always a vital part in Overwatch, and helps a lot if you want to do "a little bit more."
Even though it’s the DPS doing most of the actual killing, Ana has a lot of vital utility. Her biotic grenade is really good for the Roadhog boss when he appears. Her nano boost is also a great tool to deal with bosses in general more quickly. Hanzo's ultimate can be used as sort of a "life savior," if some of the enemies are getting too close to the doors.
Lastly, if you have problems completing any of these achievments, don't hesitate to turn to the community for help, tips and ideas. GLHF!
