How to unlock the Giving You the Hook achievement in Overwatch 2 - Definitive Guide

Hello and welcome to PBreezey's achievement guide for the Overwatch achievement "Giving You the Hook"

To earn this achievement, you must use Roadhog's Chain Hook (cn_LB) to interrupt an enemy's use of their ultimate ability. So, line up your hook and fire away when you see an enemy using their ult.

There are a number of ultimates that you can try to interrupt for this achievement. I will list out all of the ones I'm currently aware of and will update the list as I learn more:
- Roadhog's Whole Hog (I love that you can get this achievement on someone playing the same character as you) - listen for "Eat this"
- Pharrah's Barrage (this is how I got it - she ended up killing me anyways but I still got the achievement) - listen for "Justice rains from above"
- McCree's Deadeye - listen for "It's High Noon"
- Reaper's Deathblossom - listen for "Die! Die! Die!"

These are ults I think you may be able to interrupt, but am not positive at this time. I will update when I or someone else confirms:
- Soldier 76's Tactical Advisor - Listen for "I've got you in my sights" Updated 10/17/2017: Does not work on Tactical Advisor
- Junkrat's RIP-Tire - Listen for "Fire in the hole" - UPDATED 6/9/2016: Confirmed by Frankie Godskin that RIP-Tire cannot be interrupted.

Please let me know if you have any comments/suggestions before downvoting! Good luck and happy hunting!

You can't interrupt Junkrat's Riptire--even if you kill him he can still control the tire after he's dead.

Your first sentence is unnecessary because we already know your name and the achievement's title.

@Frankie Godskin: thanks for the confirmation on Junkrat. I have updated my solution to reflect that.

As far as the first sentence, that's just how I do my Solutions - if you look at any of my recent solutions they all have it. Sorry you feel it's unnecessary, but I'm not planning to change that.

Interesting. So even though the enemy's ult was still used and effective - the achievement popped for you. Honestly, I feel like this is more of a glitch than a surefire way to get the achievement. But if more gamers confirm that these small timing windows can result in the achievement then I will update my solution accordingly.

I've used the hook on Bastion while he's in tank mode twice and haven't gotten the achievement so I'm thinking that one doesn't work either

That's because if you hook Bastion in Tank mode, he will stay in Tank mode.
An interruption means you stop them from doing their ultimate which is why my experience was strange (as he still got his ultimate out)

[Edit]
I believe this is how Solider 76's ultimate works as well: you can stun him, but it won't "interrupt" his tactical visor.

If you hook Reinhardt while he swings his hammer down and kill him before it connects, the achievement unlocks. Worked on my second account.

Best way to do it is on a Mei and to stop her from freezing your team

I'd imagine you can do this with just about any character as they all have to prepare (Junkrat has to rev up his tire so maybe that's when it's done.)

Some examples (and these are purely speculation)
Tracer has to pull out the bomb
Hanzo has to pull his string back
Lucio jumps into the air

These are obviously very hard to pull off because of the small time window, but I was able to do this against Reinhardt (I was seeing if you could hook him through his shield when he used his ultimate unexpectedly). He was still able to stun me, so I didn't feel like I interrupted it (the achievement still popped so that made up for it).

I'm fairly certain it doesn't work against Soldier 76's ultimate. I've tried it twice now and nothing; I think it stuns him rather than interrupting the ability.

An easy one to do this to is Mccree as he announces when he uses his Super Power and he stands completely still. Hope this helps!

Other easy to interrupt are Pharah, Reaper and RoadHog since these are also channelling ultimate. You can also interrupt ultimate that have long start up like Hanzo but these require to have very good reflex.

As soon as you notice the enemy Reaper in his ult, throw your hook at him and the trophy is yours.
