For anyone wanting to do this without boosting, here is a trick I found useful:
Use McCree or Briggite and stun the enemy who is trying to thaw, they usually go straight back into it and then you can eliminate them as well, counting as 2 thaws!
Note: Only eliminations and actual stuns count towards the objective.

I used that exact method with a D. Va and got all 3 in a row off of her
. Roadhog hooks also count as interruptions I believe just to add to the available options.

This one is real pain in the ass. Aside from Mcree where I thought I had three, but the third didn't count, I find Pharah the best, cause she can get up in the air & hit them when they're crouch hiding trying to thaw. Junkrat is also useful at times, cause a lot of times they get frozen in a doorway blocking it where it can get a free thaw, but Junkrats main attack to squeak through.
That is when anybody even bothers to try to thaw.

Yeah, sometimes they stop the Thaw when they see you so even if you stun them, if they were not doing the Thaw animation anymore, pretty sure it stops couting straight away!

Pain in the ass!!!
I wish it was 3 interruptions in a game not in a round

Somehow I have not gotten Lucio's boop to count yet, but Ana's sleep does

Tried this for hours with various characters and I only started getting close to getting this when using Hog. The hook has crazy range, can pull tanks around the ice blocks even if they're on the opposite side, and hog has high survivability and can stall! Here's a quick vid to demonstrate:

Been trying to get this for days and then just managed to get four with Ana on my first match of the night. Would recommend using Ana or Roadhog for their ranged interrupts and ability to self-heal.
I got lucky, really. Ended up with me and an enemy Lucio alive and he kept just trying to thaw instead of fighting; I’d sleep dart him and leave him on the ground while my cooldown reduced, then get him again after he ran off to try and thaw another teammate.
Although that exact situation is unlikely, the achievement is still possible (if annoying). Lost count of the times I had two and came within an inch of a third interruption.

Tried a bunch with Brigitte and Roadhog but after trying Dva, I ended up getting it fairly quickly with her. Even if an enemy is thawing a teammate further away, you can use her dash / flight ability to reach/push into them and thus interrupt them.

I swear I just got this achievement after interrupting just one thaw with ana, endgame screen said three but I only stopped junket thawing a teammate once with her sleep dart

The McCree method worked like a charm

I don't actually think I got all 3 interrupts in a round but either maybe assists count, or I just didn't notice, or it bugged, but I was surprised I did get it. But just wanted to mention I was using Lucio who DOES work now, and was able to get several interrupts, I just really don't remember them being in the same round when I did finally get it. Not gonna complain though :p

Found that D.Va is reliable as her booster cooldown is short enough that you can stop someone trying to constantly thaw out someone else and you can go through shields.

How would you even boost for it?
By ĴÙÑÉ on 22 Dec 2023 21:26
I don't remember how I got this exactly. I was either using pharah or junkrat, and whichever it was, I got it by just using their normal attack on an enemy trying to thaw. I guess they push the enemy away enough that it counts as an interrupt? I wasn't going for it. I was actually trying to get my ult up to suicide for the other achievement, so I wasn't doing anything special. I just know I was using normal attacks with one of those two characters and I wasn't really trying to kill the enemy (it ended up being 1 on 1, and they were running around trying to thaw their team who were all frozen relatively close together). I was intentionally letting them rez while taking a couple pot shots at them and killing one of the 2 once the thaw went through. So I was basically damage farming when I noticed the achievement pop.
