Myself @AWildCoopixe , my partner and my friend were trying to attain the Shocking Surprise achievement where we bumped into a random solo player from Iran. We decided to keep him on the team as he was a fantastic Zen player and team support. After 5 games we gained the achievement in this year's Halloween event, an achievement only 0.25% of the world Xbox community has; we are now part of that 0.25%.
Tips for other players looking to attain this achievement:
1. Team composition is vital
- Cassidy, Soldier, Torbjorn & Zen is THE correct players to have
- Cassidy's Ultimate is used to take out the bosses when needed
-Torbjorn's Ultimate is vital for applying constant damage to bosses and protecting the door from the shock tires when the bosses are defeated
-Soldier's Ultimate can be used to target the bosses in tandem with Torbjorn's Ultimate making light work of the bosses and Shock tires that spawn afterwards.
-Zen's Ultimate is extremely important, especially during the Summoner's appearance (Symmetra), due to her perfect aim and constant damage, she is the most difficult boss to face in this game mode. It is also important to note, due to Zen's knockback effect on his melee attack he can defend the door extremely well against the tires when they spawn from the bosses or blue zomnics.
2. Teamwork is key.
When aiming for this achievement I would recommend everybody has a mic and that you communicate effectively. When killing the blue zombadier zomnics, call it out and time them between the bosses and with the team to avoid getting overwhelmed and flustered. Patience and a calm demeanour are critical traits to maintain when attempting this achievement.
3. Use your ultimate's sparingly or at least wisely.
Many times I wasted my Ultimate (as Cassidy) when it was needed for the next boss, specifically Junkenstein's Monster, Junkenstein or the Witch at the end. Torbjorn's Ultimate can be used a fair amount of times, due to his turret he has a high damage output which in turn provides a rapid regeneration capability for his Ultimate meter.
