Overwatch 2

Hello and welcome to PBreezey's achievement guide for the Overwatch achievement "Shot Down"

To get this achievement you have to use D.va's Defense Matrix - which is activated using - to prevent/block/absorb 1500 damage. Defense Matrix only has a 10 second cooldown SO Tip #1: Use the Defense Matrix as much as possible and you might just get this achievement through sheer luck.

Tip #2: Block ultimate abilities. One of the best ways to unlock this achievement is to block other player's ultimates. For example, I got this achievement by blocking Reaper's Death Blossom. Other good ones to block would be Roadhog's Whole Hog and Pharah's Barrage. This will not only help you get the achievement, but your team will LOVE you!

Tip #3: Find the enemy Bastion. Let's be honest. Right now, there is a Bastion in every game you play. He is set up in a corner, on a ledge, in a doorway - just camping and mowing people down. Use this to your advantage! Let him pump his bullets into you and boost away laughing.

Tip #4: DON'T SHOOT! While your Defense Matrix is active you are free to move around. However, if you begin to fire your weapon it will end your Defense Matrix early. Use the full time your Defense Matrix can be up, then start returning fire.

Tip #5: Just keep trying. There is no formula to getting this achievement, no sure-fire method that will make it pop. It's all going to be trial and error. You may try blocking Reaper's Death Blossom but not soak up the damage you need to pop the achievement. Then two minutes later you could decide to take a ride on the front of the Payload and easily soak up 1500 damage from everyone shooting at you. Just be patient and keep trying.

If you have any comments or questions, please let me know before you downvote. Good luck and happy hunting!

I got this achievement by standing infront of roadhog doing his ultimate, as he started his ult i waited a second and activated my defense matrix and it popped before the matrix deactivated.

Good luck.

D.VA's Defense Matrix allows her to block or absorb damage. This achievement requires you to block 1500 damage. An easy way is to block an Ultimate ability, such as Pharah's Barrage or Roadhog's Whole Hog.

I got the achievement on Temple of Anubis Defense, when Pharah used her Ultimate.

Achievement doesn't pop because it doesn't show it (for some reason)

Overwatch 2 Solution

What does Defense Matrix do?

Defense Matrix is bound to D.Va's Secondary Fire which is by default.
D.Va's Defense Matrix is a front-facing shield which the player must hold down the button to kept active. It has a resource meter that will deplete after 3 seconds. Defense Matrix has a mandatory 1 second cooldown and will take 8 seconds to fully recharge from a fully depleted meter.

How do I unlock Shot Down?

Compared to the original Overwatch, this has become easier as Defense Matrix now last 3 seconds as oppose to 2 and now only requires you to block 1250 damage. Here's a list of some heroes who have high damage output.

Bastion

Bastion deals 360 damage/second in Configuration: Assault. This would be 1080 damage over 3 seconds which would leave only 170 damage. As Configuration: Assault has infinite ammo, there is no reason the Bastion should stop shooting.

Pharah

Her ultimate (Barrage) does 1240 damage/second (or 3100 over its 2.5 second duration). Just hope that no one kills her before.

Kiriko

Her ultimate (Kitsune Rush) allows allies to shoot 25% faster so if the enemy team uses it with one of the aforementioned heroes, you'll get to 1250 much faster (plus everyone gets trigger happy).

Boosting Methods

The Lockdown Method

This is the most common method to boost Overwatch that requires 10 people.

1. Get a group of 10 people.
2. Get into two groups of 5
3. Disable cross play
4. Queue for Quick Play Open Queue at the same time and hope it matches you guys up
5. Once you match up, have a Bastion and the rest of his team shoot into the Defense Matrix.

Remember to keep the objective contested unless it's a Control map which will not need contesting unless someone captured it.
