How to unlock the Ambush! achievement in Overwatch 2 - Definitive Guide

This can be done in one game, not just one round.

I was able to get this in a few rounds by baiting out someone's snowball with my invulnerability. Once that was done, you follow them. Follow them for as long as possible. Try to be sneaky, but it's not always necessary. Most of the time they'll get bored of the chase and try to pick up snow. This is when you strike. Repeat this 3 times in one game and you'll have the achievement.

You can also hear people picking up snow, so keep an ear open for that too. I was able to pick off some people just by listening. I was able to achieve this in multiple games using this strategy, so hopefully this can help you get the achievement too!

Also, just like the other achievement, dying doesn't reset progress.

Let me know if there is anything I can answer for you or anything I can do to improve the guide.


Edit:
Deschain suggests using your ult and firing a shot. Some people may not know what the ult does yet and may try to get some snow while yours is active.

Fooga, you may have killed them right after they got the snow or they cancelled getting snow before you killed them. Or maybe you got your kills stolen?

Nope. Out of my 6 kills I 100% got 4 legit. 2 moved off the ice, the other 4 were all mid-animation when they died.

I'm half expecting it to just pop tonight randomly.

I'm in the same possision as you Fooga, when I get time, I'll clear my Cache, reset my MAC and really download my Profile to hopefully fix this, no need for a broken timed achievement. warning

Best way to get these achievements (especially this one) is to team up in a group of 6. Try and kill off at least 4 members of the other team so there's only 2 left and then you can just follow the remaining ones around the map. Try to get them to waste their shot on you any way you can. I tried to save my ultimate incase I missed a shot and they were about to reload.

Tip: If there's 1 player left on each team, a counter will begin and if they are both alive when it ends then the round will be a draw. This is a good way to extend the game to get more chances to earn achievements.

Not sure if this is glitched a little 100% sure I got 3 as they were reloading. Is there some special point you have to wait for or anything like that?

Anyone want to boost? If we get two teams of 6-stack, it's likely we'll get match made against each other. We can boost for the achievement then

Super easy. Hang out by a snow pile, wait for someone to miss, then run back and forth like a noob on the snow pile, 90% of the time they will come up and start getting snow, then BLAM, make sure to t-bag cause you just juked the shit out if them!
