    This achievement is quite hard. The team we got it with was McCree, Torbjörn, Zenyatta, and Brigitte

    What to know: with each zombraider you kill, one ripe tire spawns. With each boss you kill, two ripe tires spawn.

    Now, the roles:

    Everyone: Any time, and I mean any time, you see a ripe tire, speak about where its at. Left, low left, middle, and right were the commands I used, but really as long as you can differentiate the possible locations you should be fine, just tell your team.

    McCree: As opposed to the usual junkenstein strategy of standing on the left Bridge, stay towards the door, numbers are the key to taking out the rip tires. The ultimate charges quite fast, so don't be scared to use it, especially on road hog, symmetra, junkenstein, and mercy. Especially mercy, save your ult for the finale.

    Torbjörn: Find a great placement for the turret, the far corner towards the door works. Use molten cores when rip tires are nearby the door and on any hero. Molten core charges tremendously fast.

    Zenyatta: Discord rip tires and heroes as they come, prioritize the rip tires. Use the ultimate to counter road hogs ultimate and when everyone's health is low.

    Brigitte: The main reason why Brigitte is vital is to lead the heroes away from the door. As discussed above, the heroes spawn two rip tires when they die. Killing heroes by the door is game over. It isn't too easy for Brigitte to lure the heroes away from the door, but if done, is the game changer. Thats the reason how we won, so certainly lure the heroes.

    LordSmorcI just did this with randoms with McCree, Soldier, Zen and Torb (I was McCree). All 4 players camped the door and prioritised the tires. By having this team all 4 players have a useful ability for the tires, which is key.

    When the bosses come you can let them come right to the door, then McCree and Torb both ult at the door. The tires don't go off even when the bosses die next to the door because of Torb's ult. Honestly this was a lot easier than I thought it would be once I got the right team composition, the issue is that some randoms are EXTREMELY bad at the game which obviously makes it harder if you get paired with them.

    ManicMetalheadJust to double the comment above. Just managed this with all randoms as Zen (me), Cassidy, Soldier 76 and Torb.
    Make sure Zen always discords the rip tires, and use him to coordinate who you’re all attacking.
    Save Torb’s ult for enemy bosses, however only throw it at them and on the floor between them and the door once they are nearly dead. This takes out the hero and the tires.

    The only hero to ignore with this ult is Junkenstien himself as he’s far enough away to take out the tires with someone else.

    Posting a solution with the complete Spawn Timers for Junkenstein's Revenge. The other solutions have good strategies to follow.

    The base spawns and difficulty for the Halloween Terror Challenge Missions are identical to an Expert Junkenstein's Revenge run.

    The only difference is the variant for the particular challenge which in this case is:
    A RIP-Tire spawns at the location a Blue Zomnic is killed.
    2 RIP-Tires will spawn at the location a Boss is killed.

    As you can control when the Blue Zomnics are killed you will want to have your teams coordinate and call out which blue Zomnic is being focused on. Players should move and kite the Bosses away from the door before killing them. McRee should maintain situational awareness of the position of the Blue Zomnics and Bosses when choosing to Ult.

    This is likely one of the two more difficult of the 6 challenges.

    Here are the current spawn timers:
    8:00 Mission Start
    6:51 Tire (Random)
    6:33 Tire (Random)
    5:48 The Reaper
    4:54 Tire (Random)
    4:39 Tire (Random)
    4:25 Tire (Random)
    3:53 Junkenstein's Monster
    3:24 Tire (Random)
    2:52 The Summoner
    2:36 Tire (Right)
    1:52 Dr. Junkenstein
    1:36 The Reaper
    0:49 Tire (Left)
    0:47 Tire (Right)
    0:33 The Reaper
    0:25 Tire (Center)
    0:00 The Witch, Dr. Junkenstein, Junkenstein's Monster
    Last Boss Dies -> Victory

    Things to note:
    • The time given is when the audio cue is initiated. There may be a few seconds before the enemy is fully spawned and able to be damaged.
    • For the random tire spawns, listen for the call-outs by the heroes. They will say "ramparts" or "left" for a left spawn, "center" or "bridge" for a center spawn, or "right" for the right spawn.
    I recommend the following team composition:
    McReeCassidy, Torbjorn, Brigitte, Zenyatta
    Although Torb is a staple for an optimal comp in Junkensteins Revenge, he's not recommended for this challenge due to the chances the turret will kill a blue Zomnic the players are not ready for. Substitute him with another DPS such as Genji, Hanzo, Tracer, Soldier: 76, or Widowmaker. Genji or Hanzo's ults will be more useful than Widowmakers for this run. Soldier: 76 needs to be careful with his ult.

    This achievement stacks with and will unlock the following achievements if not previously earned:
    Overwatch 2Dawn BreaksThe Dawn Breaks achievement in Overwatch 2 worth 47 pointsWin Junkenstein's Revenge on Expert difficulty.

    Overwatch 2Survived the NightThe Survived the Night achievement in Overwatch 2 worth 34 pointsWin Junkenstein's Revenge on Hard difficulty.


    Upon completion, the hero you played will count as one of the heroes needed for progress toward this achievement:
    Overwatch 2Four They WereThe Four They Were achievement in Overwatch 2 worth 41 pointsWin Junkenstein's Revenge with 4 different heroes.

    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.
