How to unlock the Death From Above achievement in Overwatch 2 - Definitive Guide

Pharah's Barrage ultimate ability allows her to launch a barrage of rockets damaging enemies below. Although the ultimate ability is not necessary for this achievement, it will help tremendously.

We will need to kill 4 enemies without touching the ground. A few things to keep in mind are that you can Jump Jet twice without touching the ground if you start your first jump on a high section of the map. Also, the barrage should grab a few kills, but feel free to mop up the last 1-2 kills with your regular rocket or concussive blast before landing.

I recommend going for this while defending the payload and waiting for a group of enemies that are trying to move it. It is best to pair up with a Mei or Zarya that can group together defenseless enemies for you allowing you to finish them off quickly.

If you'd like to learn more about Pharah, you can view this video. The achievement is described and shown at 9:40:

I just did this but I didn't get the achievement. I killed 3 players with my special and was still in the air to get my 4th kill. I recorded it on my Xbone and watched it a couple of times to find out what is wrong. Nothing was wrong at all.

Can confirm I've done this twice and no achievement, but both times I killed a dva and her mech so I think that counts as only one elimination FYI

I actually managed to get this without even using barrage. Only took me like 9 hours of Pharah to finally unlock it, though :)

Edit: This has gotten a lot easier since they lowered her fuel consumption, as you can now essentially stay in the air forever.

Unlike most hero multi-kill achievements, Pharah's doesn't NECESSARILY have to be done with her Ultimate, but obviously it helps. Pharah is built around staying in the air and being hard to hit.

In order to maximize air time, your best bet it to start a combo with your Ult and get as many kills as possible. As this is an objective based game, you're bound to end up at a point where people will be clustered on an objective.
Once your Ult has been used (and if you're still alive), keep tapping your fuel to stay in the air as long as you can.
Once your fuel is out, use your Jump Jet to jump back into the air before hitting the ground, and you should have some fuel by the time you're back in the air. This will maximize your air time.

All the Capture maps are fairly good for this achievement since they all have at least 1 Capture Point that has a cliff Pharah can knock people into with Concussive Blast. Ilios has some cliffs at all 3 points, though the one in the ruins is only going to catch flankers. Nepal has the big indoor area. Lijiang tower has cliffs at all 3 though most people don't go outside at the major indoor part. Nothing beats that feeling of knocking multiple people off a cliff.

Escort (defense) it's going to be slightly harder since her ultimate is a bit more over time than some heroes, and if they're running around the payload enough they could heal a good bit while dodging you.

Now it's entirely possibly to get all 4 kills with Barrage but this is just to get you as many opportunities for kills as possible. Even if you are in a tight space, always try jumping before your Barrage, as it could easily turn into a Quad Kill. People don't generally expect a tight quarters Barrage.

While her Barrage does damage over a fairly wide area, it can help to be closer to the ground to make sure you focus a target down better. If you just shoot over a wide area, a Lucio could easily keep a team healed. Focus down any healers, then go for the other squishy characters. In my video though it does seem to kill a lot faster than I had anticipated from long range.
Pharah's Rockets can 2 hit most heroes if you can get a direct hit, though the splash damage if you miss is pretty terrible.

As with most Multi-Kill achievements, teaming up with a Zarya or Mei Ultimate is a great benefit.

I'm not 100% sure, but I just got this so i'm about 80% sure. It appears as if Mei's Ice wall might not count as ground. I had 3 and was trying to mop up the 4th when my teammate put a wall right under me. I only touched it for a brief second, but long enough for me to think I was SOL but it still gave it to me. So either a glitch or it doesn't count

Before I start I want to stress that the 4 kills do NOT only have to be from the ult. You can do combination of regular kills ult kills and concussive blast kills. Just be sure if you are using your ult don't be 2 feet from the ground so if you don't get all 4 kills you can rocket into the air and get kills with regular rockets.

As long as you kill 4 players without touching the ground, the achievement will pop.

I earned this by killing 2 players with normal rockets, using the jetpack boost (I forgot the name of it) and then using the ultimate to kill 3 more players, killing the 4 needed players in the process.

I haven't tried using the concussive blast to knock a player to their death for this achievement yet, but it should count towards the 4 players.

I think the most convenient cards for this moment are Dorado in defense, the first checkpoint to accompany the cargo, you can jump onto the platform above the gate, you need to wait until the enemies have almost dragged the cargo to the CT, it is best to work in tandem with the widow so that she gives infravision , and also on this map before the second CT you can also jump up the back of the enemy.
Another map is Kings Row, also for defense, but before the final CT, you can also jump up and wait for the enemy.

Don't forget that after using your super ability, your ability is Jet Jump. will recharge and you can use it again.

These ambush spots are good for Junkrat, Pharah, and Reaper.

If you don't have an elite gamepad or you don't play using the "Claw" method, then the achievement is easiest to do on the Nepal map since all your enemies will be at one point, and unlike the Temple of Anubis there are no places where the enemy can hide and just use "Rain" retribution" (ultimate) the enemy may not die immediately; he can be finished off by your comrade; the achievement will be counted.

| This trophy is easier to do in a group with Zarya | Required number of people: 2 |

| Instructions |
01. You take Farrah, your friend Dawn.
02. Accumulate ultimates.
03. Zarya collects 4 or more enemies with a screed.
04. You ultimate and kill everything in the screed.

Tip #01 | Before Zarya ults, she must tell you about it.

Tip #02 | While waiting for Zarya's ultimate, you should be nearby.
It is very important that you have full HP, so during this time try to play more passively
and not attract unnecessary attention.


Tip #03 | There is no need to ask again a thousand times whether you are ready or not.
Zarya says she will ultimate, you are waiting at the position.


Tip #04 | During your ultimate, Zara should cast a Protective Barrier on you.
This will temporarily increase your survivability.


Tip #05 | A good Sombra in your stack will make getting the trophy much easier.
During Zarya's screed, she will have to hack all EMPs with Impulse.
Partially saving you from potential failures.


Tip #06 | Ana in the stack will also make it easier to get the trophy.
During Zarya's scramble, she will have to cast a nanoboost on you.


Tip #07 | If the opposing team has D.VA, it is advisable to knock her out of the mech.
Since she can, firstly, eat Zarya’s ult, and secondly, partially eat your ult.




| Also, most of the trophies in the game can be forgotten! | Required number of people: 5 |

| How to get into different teams |
01. You invite a friend to your group and start searching for a match.
02. As soon as a match is found, the friend must quickly leave the group.
To do this, while searching, press the triangle button and hold your finger
ready so that once a match is found, exit it by double pressing X.

ATTENTION: You do these actions at your own peril and risk.

I recommend playing in tandem with Orisa, a very easy and reliable combo, Orisa attracts everyone with her ult and Farrah ults all of Tima in the air. I played on the New Queen Street map and waited for the moment when the opponents were in the lead so that they were all in a group.
