To obtain this achievement you need to win a game using an Defensive legend. Defensive legends are denoted with a shield logo. Currently, the defensive legends in the game are Gibraltar, Caustic, Wattson and Rampart (the latter three need to be unlocked with either Legend tokens or Apex coins.)

My best advice for winning games would be to find a relatively quiet spot to land with your team and loot up before fighting. Besides that, teamwork is essential. Stick with your squadmates and support them when needed.

Season 9 update: you can also win a game in Arena mode for this achievement.

I just got a win with Gibraltar l, but I didn't get any achievement. Anyone else having this problem?

Same here just won trios. I was Gibraltar.

Arena does not work

Do we have any insight into whether or not this will still be obtainable after the newest update that eliminates this class?

By GhostWrex on 10 Feb 2023 02:36

Not yet. We'll see how they do it with the class reworks and achievements.

Alright cool. Was hoping they had said something that I missed, got a friend that still needs it and I'd grind it out with him pre-update if necessary, but I'd rather just get it naturally. Thanks for the quick response though!

Won with Rampart , no achievement

Achievement has been updated to now be for a Controller character. These are Caustic, Wattson, Rampart and Catalyst.
Unfortunately all 4 are locked from the start so you'll need to grind 12k Legend tokens or buy 750 Apex coins.

Edit: Won as Caustic, no achievement however.

So what are the current characters that unlock the achievement?
I need to buy a Legend for that and dont wanna waste the points for the wrong.
Would be nice if anyone can answer that question?

EDIT: Got it with Catalyst

this solution needs updated as arena no longer works

By evorgnayr on 05 Apr 2024 18:26

No more arena?

By Carbonitex on 07 Apr 2024 17:54

Is either Trios or Solos, Mixtape victories doesn't count at all

By TopMadman on 22 May 2024 13:07

ITS the Same with me. I ein with Gibraltar but nothing happened

By Maennlein on 07 May 2020 22:57

I belive it you can not unlock this on Arena anymore. I won and it did not unlock so just a heads up
