How to unlock the Adrenaline Junkie achievement in Overwatch 2 - Definitive Guide

I know a lot of people have been struggling with this achievement so here's how I got it.

There are three ways Junker Queen applies wounds:
1) Jagged Blade (Gracie) cn_LT or cn_RS
2) Carnage cn_RB
3) Rampage Ultimate

The tricky part on this I believe comes from applying follow up wounds after the ultimate because of the length of the dash. So find a payload map with a confined space.

Alright how I did this was defending the final point of Route 66. To the right of the payload finish (its marked by a circle on the floor) as you come out spawn are some stacked boxes that separate a flanking route. As the enemy team came on the payload (all five were on it) I ran out of spawn with ultimate ready and triggered Rampage and hit 4. I intentionally aimed at the "wall"/ crates to stop my dash and keep me close proximity to the targets. As soon as I hit I turned around and thumped 2 more with Carnage. Finally I melee'd 1 with the jagged blade as soon as I was able for the seventh wound.

Hope this helps and Best of Luck!

It's also rather difficult if the enemy team has kimiko

Yes if a purify is dropped during your "combo" everything is null and void. As it has to be 7 wounds active at the same time

Also, one thing we discovered today when going for this...You don't want to kill the squishies too quickly as you need 7 active wounds going at once. If boosting... use tanks + a lucio. We would knife, retract, ult into the team, carnage into the tanks, and then melee (if necessary). Usually, by the time the carnage ability was used the achievement requirements were met.

i think they need to rework this so that you need to get 7 bleeds in a 5 sec window not 7 at once this is just ridiculous ive "done" it so many times but someone dies because there anti and cant heal why do i get punished for playing good and getting the kill makes no since

I also believe its broken even tough im pretty sure i did multiple times over the course of the week. i manage to match against a few friends last night and we try multiple times over the course of the match without sucess. here is one clip of this match: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/marcelo-perondi/video/166523635

Have in mind that this is just one clip out of the exactly 6 times i completed the requirements of the achievement in the whole match. Definetely BUGGED.

It's frustrating because I'm confident it's buggy, but also people are consistently unlocking it according to TA.

Used everything. Impossible to know what counted and what didn't. It would make sense if something from her kit was bugged though based off how inconsistent it was to pull off

Figured out the bug.
If you remain Junker Queen the entire match, the achievement doesn't pop. Ever.

Start the match with any other character then switch to Junker Queen when the spawn doors open. Got it on my 1st good attempt after this.
Blizzard has truly outdone itself.

I can confirm that switching characters seems to be the trick. I should've been able to unlock it multiple times after insta locking junker queen to start a match. Within 10 games or so of starting with orisa, and switching as the doors open I was able to unlock it.

What an incredibly frustrating glitch!

It works! Defense on Junkertown. I took Orisa and switched to Junkerqueen when the attackers came out of their Spawn. I did it the first time and it unlocked (I had already done it 8-9 times without this solution and it never unlocked)

Unbelievable, but this thread is correct. It will only unlock if you don't start the game as Junker Queen. After doing it AT LEAST 3 times prior and not getting it, we followed this advice and were able to both unlock it in the same game within 5 minutes.

Can confirm that I just unlocked it with my first serious try after reading from that post that you have to start the match as someone other than Junker Queen. Their whole enemy team was on the payload, threw the knife and got three on the pullback, then immediately ulted and got all five with it.

Thanks for that tip.

Yep, just unlocked it using the "switch hero" method! Thanks everyone! I was very confused as to why this wasn't unlocking. Hopefully they'll get around to fixing this.

Thank you for the advice to switch! Walked out of spawn, waited for 1% ult charge, walked back into spawn and swapped. Did this for all three rounds, getting the achievement on the third round of the game. To get it, I threw my knife into the ground at my feet, shouted for the health boost, ult'd into a group, turned around to hit with Carnage, and the knife auto-returned to me at the same time going through and applying wounds to anyone between me and where I started my ult. I hit melee after the Carnage swing to try to apply one more wound. Between all of that, at least 7 wounds were applied, and thanks to swapping heroes it actually counted!

Any new solutions for this, am constantly doing the requirements with the hero swap at the start and still nothing. Have been trying on and off since she launched and have been unable to get it in close in 20 hours of playtime on her now.it is literally my last achievement in Overwatch now and is annoying me to no end

I think it is broken too, I've counted my wounds on replays multiple times. Always had 8 and more still didn't unlock for me. Another person pointed out wounds only stay active for 3 seconds, maybe I should try to throw the knife and while pulling back use ultimate. After that there's no window frame to use my axe.

To the players still not unlocking the cheevo even after doing it several times, something that worked for me and my friend: You cannot unlock it if you start the match with Junkerqueen, you have to switch to her either right after you die as other hero or after you get at least 1% of your ult. Don't know what triggers this bug.

So I had spent way too many hours going for this Achievement. As someone who previously had all Achievements in Overwatch it was very frustrating somehow not getting it after many clear attempts at getting 7 wounds at the same time - checked game vods after each game. As soon as I heard about this “not starting game as Junkerqueen” bug I got it within a couple of games. This is 100% the reason why I didn’t get it unlock before. Thanks for sharing.

In case anyone would like a visual reference for getting this achievement. In slow motion to make for easier viewing.

It might be beneficial to flank the enemy team when trying for this. If they know you're coming you will likely be killed before performing the combo, or stunned out of your Ultimate.

🚨 Figured it out! And signed up here (first post) to share how.

So this achievement has been glitched since release. A few weeks ago I figured out what exactly was bugged about Kiriko’s cute spray and should have realized the same approach could be taken with Junker Queen’s pixel spray. As of the moment Blizzard has only fixed this with Kiriko so players aren’t even aware the issue was tired to character selection.

The objective is to apply 7 wounds at once. The rampage, Carnage, and Gracie each apply a wound. You can spot if a wound is applied by a brief yellow slash over the target (something to look for in replays if you clip your moments). Ideally this means to rampage through a crowd of enemies then immediately swing and stab away, but the present glitch makes this challenging

Like most of you, I’ve done the requirements 100+ times only to get nothing. But what you may not realize is the game is failing to register the wounds BECAUSE you selected Junker Queen. I posted a video showing several of my failed attempts that actually had more wounds and what I did this morning to unlock Adrenaline Junkie and tips to get this done within a few QP matches. Thanks to my friends x REGUL4R SH0W and SpyroShane for helping with this guide.

The best method I found to get this achievement is to throw Gracie (Jagged Blade) to an enemy farther back behind enemy lines. Ideally it hits a target for one wound. When you recall it it will hopefully hit another enemy(s) for another wound or two.

Then use your ultimate, Rampage, to dash into the enemy team. You can really only get this achievement if you hit at least three targets with this. These wounds will last the longest.

At this point you're at about five or six. Your ult should put you right in the middle of the enemy team for a quick melee and then use of Carnage. As long as both of those hit it should all add up to seven or more.

A lot of this has to do with where the enemy team decides to put themselves. I got this on Eichenwalde at the top of the hill right at the corner over the top of the bridge. At least at the moment I was able to tell I got the achievement when I got disconnected.

Update: Added the game clip from when I got this.

Usually try to go for this on payload maps. Best advice I have gotten is throw your knife in the ground in front of you before using your ultimate. Line it up and after your ult your jagged blade will return to you and should hit some of the same opponents you just used your ult on. Then follow up with carnage and don’t forget your standard melee creates wounds as well! Make sure the team of at least 4-5 people are grouped up and bait a Kiriko purify before going for this if the enemy team plays her. Good luck!! clap

It is advisable to hit the entire team with the ability to return the knife and then ult the entire enemy team. The trophy is a bit glitchy. If you boost the trophy and after doing everything it still doesn’t fall, then before throwing the knife and returning it, strike all enemy heroes from a mile away and then press all the buttons on them.

I'll add.
The team to which the knife will fly must have Baptiste, who must first throw the immortality field, and only then the Queen must act according to the above action.

I advise you NOT to take Junker at the beginning of the match, but to take another hero and take her after death, since the trophy is glitchy and may not count a couple of wounds and you will not receive the trophy.
