While this was recorded on the original Overwatch, it still shows a decent example for Overwatch 2What maps are the best? What about Quick Play vs. Competitive?
Defending on Escort or Assault maps. Control maps are okay, but it felt more difficult getting hacks there since games seemed to finish faster.
Maps with single choke points (like Eichenwalde) could make it more difficult to flank successfully.
Apparently this must be done in a single round. If this is true, it is practically impossible to get this on a Control map and Competitive Games are actually going to be worse than Quick Play because of their shorter times.
How do I boost this achievement?
The Lockdown Method
This is the most common method to boost Overwatch that requires 10 people.- Get a group of 10 people.
- Get into two groups of 5
- Disable cross play
- Queue for Quick Play Open Queue at the same time and hope it matches you guys up

Remember to keep the objective contested unless it's a Control map which will not need contesting unless someone captured it.
