    How do I get unlock Can't Touch This?
    To get this achievement, you must first be defending in either Quick Play or Competitive on any of the following maps:
    Escort Maps
    • Circuit Royale
    • Dorado
    • Havana
    • Junkertown
    • Rialto
    • Route 66
    • Shambali Monastery
    • Watchpoint: Gibraltar
    Hybrid Maps
    • Blizzard World
    • Eichenwalde
    • Hollywood
    • King's Row
    • Midtown
    • Numbani
    • Paraíso
    Once you start an Escort Map or the first objective is taken on a Hybrid Map, the timer for the minute will start. This timer will reset anytime an enemy touches the payload, regardless of whether they moved it or not. Something to note is that "touching the payload" is not talking about a physical touch, rather than being close enough to move the payload.

    The easiest place to hold a payload is near a checkpoint. Checkpoints are the point where the payload is the farthest from the enemy spawn, but the closest to your spawn, especially the last checkpoint.

    The best abilities to use are ones that can clear and control areas or knockback players such as Mei's Blizzard, Roadhog's Whole Hog, Pharah's Concussive Blast, etc.

    At the end of the day, this just boils down to how good or bad your team and the enemy team is, so don't beat yourself up if you can't seem to get this because you will most likely get it without trying.

    How do I boost this achievement?
    The Lockdown Method
    This is the most common method to boost Overwatch that requires 10 people.
    1. Get a group of 10 people.
    2. Have everyone add each other as a friend in advance.
    3. Enter a game as a three stack and have everyone else spectate off of them from the social tab (make sure to select "Join Game" and not simply "Spectate"). As people leave, the spectators will take their place**.Having the spectators join as described means they won't be kicked in between games.
    4. As soon as you get a person both sides, communicate to see how much people should be spectating both sides (i.e. how many randoms are on each side).
    5. Once the lobby is full with all 10 people and you have one of the maps listed above, simply push it for a minute uncontested.

    TROLLING CAN GET YOU BANNED IF YOU GET REPORTED. BEWARE OF THE METHODS YOU USE TO GET RANDOMS OUT OF THE LOBBY.

    Hello and welcome to PBreezey's achievement guide for the Overwatch achievement "Can't Touch This"

    To get this achievement you have to stop the attacking team from touching the payload (see the big ass truck) for 1 minute.

    Step 1: you have to be on a map with the escort objective. There are 6 maps with escorts built in:
    1. Dorado
    2. Route 66
    3. Watchpoint: Gibraltar
    4. Hollywood (start as assault, then escort)
    5. King's Row (start as assault, then escort)
    6. Numbani (start as assault, then escort)

    Step 2 is you have to be on Defense. In quick play, the game rotates through maps so that each player (usually) gets to play on both Attack and Defense before moving to the next map. So, hopefully, if you load into a lobby you join on Defense, or alternatively at least join for the first round of a map as an Attacker so that the next round you will switch over to Defense.

    Step 3 is you get the achievement. This is really going to depend heavily on your team, and the skill level of your opponents. It's really easy for the enemy to play a character such as Reinhardt, run up and move the payload a few centimeters and reset your 1 minute timer. I recommend using champions such as Bastion, Tjorborn, Widowmaker and Hanzo that are able to pick off enemies from a distance. You could also try Mei to wall your enemies off of the payload, or Lucio to knockback enemies if they get too close. These are just a few recommendations. When I got the achievement I was playing as Bastion, set up as a turret and switched to tank mode for the last little bit of the 1 minute requirement.

    TL;DR: this achievement (imo) is really luck of the draw. I feel like everyone will get it eventually when you get in one of those games that is just a complete stomp and the enemy team never advances the payload an inch.

    Please comment and let me know how I can improve my solution before downvoting. Good luck and happy hunting!

    This one is easy to get.

    I unlocked it on the Eichenwalde map, where my team had a combo of D.Va, Bastion, Pharah, Hanzo, and a few other heroes (this was back in January, Orisa was not added yet). These heroes all have high damage rates, making this achievement easier to obtain if everyone is in spawn. Keep doing this for a minute, and the achievement will pop. Don't worry if it takes a few seconds extra for the achievement to pop.
