How to unlock the Pay Up achievement in Overwatch 2 - Definitive Guide

For this achievement, in one game of Bounty Hunter you have to kill the Bounty Target, player listed under the score board with the little money bag beside their name, 8 times. They are also highlighted through walls and such.

The best method is to basically abuse the fact that when you become the Bounty Target your ult gets fully restored. So using your ult to kill the current target, and then getting killed quickly/killing yourself, to move on to killing the next target.

So what I did is go Soldier because I'm rusty with OW and I noticed that everyone else went low HP characters, such as Tracer, McCree, Junkrat etc. so his ult is really OP against them. Also sprint helps you get to targets quickly so you aren't overwhelmed with players.

I would spawn in the game get my ult ASAP, and then kill the bounty target which restores my ult. Then I would kill myself, because you don't really want to give players score but you should be able to get 8 without worrying about that. Then I would repeat with the other targets 7 more times.

I used Solider, but other characters with offensive ults should work as well.

Soldier was my choice too, mainly because he can run to the bounty and beat everyone else there when you respawn.

I found Echo a good choice because using her ultimate basically gives you 2 lives, so you can make sure you get that kill.

I second the Echo, super maneuverable and pretty good damage output.

Doomfist was my choice due to his mobility, high damage (esp. rocket punch) and his ult is fantastic at securing kills against slow dps picks.

Avoid killing yourself after becoming the bounty since the next person to get a kill will become the bounty and gain 300 pts (You want to avoid the the score-leader from getting too far ahead). Once you become the bounty, it's best to seek out the lowest scoring opponent and let them kill you to ensure the match lasts as long as possible.

I eventually got it with Soldier, but another sneaky way to it (I got to 7 before the match ended) is be Sombra, use your stealth and hang near where the target is. Once they’re nearly dead, break stealth and steal the kill.

Soldier worked like a charm doing this achievement. Kill the person with a bounty and save your alt, once you die, rush to the next character with a bounty and use your alt, then rinse and repeat.

Soldier: 76 on Chateau Guillard is definitely a good combination

Just to make it clear when you become the bounty DO NOT use your ultimate. Die as soon as possible possible use your ultimate to kill the new bounty. I managed this as soldier

I say look at who others are playing and see who you can get easy kills with. was in a game with two hogs, so went reaper. later was against two widows, doomfist and mcree so went hog to hook them for easy kills

I used genji because of how easy it is for him to die XD. Plus his mobility helped me get to targets faster. In other words, he lets you "speedrun" this.
He's pretty good if you can play him, just I wouldn't recommend him otherwise unfortunately.

I can't relay how easy this is with Pharah. Literally get a bounty, save your ult and die. Use your ult to kill the next bounty. Rinse and repeat.

Roadhog is the best option. Most people don’t really use tanks in this mode, so hooking the bounties (that are most likely already weak from everyone shooting them) was a guaranteed kill every time. I’d just sit still after and let someone else kill me to do it again.

Who you uses depends on the map you get and obviously who you're good with. Reaper is good on chateau guillard but not dorado as you want small enclosed spaces and no long open sight lines

I did it with Junkrat. When you get your first bounty save that RIP tire. I just got an intersection that was frequent and if I trapped the person with the bounty I’d eliminate them with rip tire. Worked really easily for me. So if you’re good with Junkrat try him. I did it on the Dorado map.

I can confirm that this tactic with Soldier is the best way to complete this achievement. It is noob friendly :)

Thanks for sharing this solution!

Soldier 76 is the way to go for this one as many others have said.

I tried Torb and Reaper for a while, got about 5 per run and 7 with my best. Switched to Soldier and got it first try with him with about two minutes left in the match. Three benefits:
1. He's mobile.
2. He's hitscan, which is essential if the bounty can get airborne. With Reaper, I was pretty much useless against Echo and other heroes who could play keepaway.
3. His ult is great at picking off a specific target in a crowd from a distance. More reliable than molten core or death blossom.

Quick "cheap" tip I've learned for this achievement.

Say you are the bounty target and you commit suicide, your bounty goes away. The next kill after your suicide will be the next bounty target.

I would say, try to get the first bounty, commit suicide, get a kill to collect the bounty, rinse, repeat. That way, if you're in the lead, the match won't end quickly if you reach the score threshold.

I was having this problem: the match was ending too fast. I killed the bounty target, got the ultimate and then I let be killed. Once I respawned I looked for the next bounty again and again and I finally got it
