HALLOWEEN 2018 is a little bit different and
A LOT EASIER (and it goes for
all of those achievements from all years)!
For example, while last year I was always dying a few minutes before the end -
THIS YEAR I GOT WITH RANDOMS TO BONUS WAVE 10 (or even I2, if I remember correctly) and
enemy's damaged door only on BONUS WAVE 8!!!
So, while
Tranierx's guide is still helpfull if you trying to remember timings of bosses and tires it has
one big error in it - Soldier - because right now
he's better to be switched on far-far-far-superior character -
Brigitte.
First things first - if you wanted to get those achievements for years -
now is the time.
Team to go to -
Torb + Brigitte + McCree + Zen. While Zen and McCree haven't changed a lot other two are different (and a Brig is a kinda new character, actually).
You get a new character - Brigitte/Brig.
She will:
- give you a lot of healing; you will be surprised how much of a distance she covers by passive healing (to passive heal you just need to hit enemies once in an 8sec);
- her Ult + armor pack's; in my best match in this mode I gave around
15000 ARMOR and i don't remember Torb being so helpful last year; for armor packs they just flying to anyone you barely aiming towards (even though armor disappears in a few seconds from packs, it still heals a lot of damage) but armor from ult give 100 extra HP until it's just "gets used by getting damaged"; so, don't forget to ask others to group up before you ult or use at a most intense moments when at least 3 of you together;
- last but not the least -
SHIELD STUN - with that stuff and McCree you will be able to stun twice in a row all small enemies (like Sym, Mercy or Reaper) and with Roadhog just try to stun him when he starts to use his health potion or when his ulting; plus, with stun movement you can even get on a ledge behind Junkrat and stun him to death too.
So, Brig - is the main reason why this event is sooo easy (that easy, that you can get all achievements even in matchmaking with randoms, though sessions are still a preferable go to, i think). Shee will keep everyone alive, will stun to death all Bosses, can easily destroy tires (almost forgot -
her so-called whip shot can even send tires waaaay out of trajectory if you'll hit em from the side) and she also requires less skill/aim/game knowledge than all other characters you need (especially Soldier, who is not needed anymore).
Only because of her -
it's the best time to get all 11 achievements right now.
So, go get them!

But now some extra about new Torb and nerfed enemies.
Torbjorn is waaay to powerful now.
Yes, he is not giving armor anymore and there is no lvl3 turret.
BUT:
- his weapon is more accurate and the speed of his fire is much faster;
- his turret is automatically builds up to lvl2 and you can throw it anywhere you want to (for example, you can easily just toss it to a ledge where Junkrat spawns or where sometimes you'll see Hanzo/Widow on a ledge near the gates);
- you have new ability - Overload - which gives you 30% speed boost and, if I remember it correctly, 150 of temporal armor;
- aaaand -
amazing new ult - Molten Core - it's just a lava/magma that you can throw anywhere for a pretty nice duration; just "paint" it around the gates floor, if you have too much of bots around or use it on all bosses (especially Junkenstein, cause he has nowhere to go) to kill em twice as fast; remember, that Brig can stun enemies that are trying to escape from hot lava.
So, again, it's unbelievably easy these year (I think I failed just ones and all other tries were achievements straight away).
But same goes to bosses... I mean, most of them got nerfed.
Symmetra don't have auto-aim on her gun, so even bot on Legendary for some reason can't track you if you jumping around; she doesn't have shield anymore (that gives everyone 75HP until gets destroyed) but instead placing one big barrier in a middle (it should give you harder time with tires but Brig can damage them through barrier and after middle of a map you need just one shot from anyone else).
Roadhog dealing a little bit less of a damage in a distance (plus, Brig can stun him every time he is trying to heal himself).
Junkrats bombs are smaller and his tire a little bit slower
Aaand Mercy healing less than she was last year.
---
Verdict -
YOU NEED TO GO AND GET THEM ASAP, WHILE BLIZZARD HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING!
Good luck, comrades
