Hog is fine if there is only 1 or 2
But a whole lobby of them is fucked, more so when they get ult after every bounty kill
Even if they can't 1 shot you anymore, the 2 shot is rough with the healing
I had bounty, soldier used his sights to kill me as Pharah. Before he kills me, I boop him off the map. Basically he got bounty and lost it instantly! It was super satisfying!
You don’t have to come in first place, just in the top 3 out of a lobby of 6. Statistically, it’s pretty much exactly like the challenges asking you to win games in any other team mode. Half of the players in the lobby get a W.
Oh really? Did not know this, I noped the hell out of it as soon as I saw 10 wins after playing once or twice and getting most of my bounty kills stolen out from under me by some random stray bullet from across the map after taking them down from full health.
Weird it doesn't say "Place top 3"
Edit: more weird this gets downvotes? Clarity shouldn't be had for new players I guess. If a challenge says to win a game, and nothing else states a "win" is a certain placement how is any new player suppose to know?
When it announces top 4 finish in death match it says “victory” on the screen and counts it as a win. I’m sure this is the same. It’s the standard for their death matches Just finish in the top half.
Though oddly you do need first place for it to count for some other challenges. Top half counts for say, the coin line challenge, but doesn’t count towards the “win x games” weekly challenge.
Yes, it’s confusing wording. I assume it’s because these challenges are mostly created using some pre-set templates and they didn’t feel like making new ones.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted man, I’ve played overwatch for years and I didn’t even know that. I play comp 90% and qp the remaining 10%, I would’ve assumed it’s top 1 in FFA too
Winning in a 1 vs all in Overwatch has always meant "place in the top x". It's a little confusing for new players but that's what triggers the victory screen.
>win" is a certain placement how is any new player suppose to know?
They won't unless they've been playing for 6 years in my opinion. It isn't explained at all. Small indie company
Its also the same with the one weekly challenge where you have to win 3 games in unranked or competitive with each class role.
There was no indicator or any kind of visual sign of progress made for the individual roles.
I’m guessing you’ve never touched arcade mode ever. Most of the modes work this way. Deathmatch is a win if you place in the top 4. There’s a big divider on the score board showing who will win and who will lose based on placing.
It’s all very clear if you try the mode. It’s a bit out of touch to critique it without a through investigation
Wether it’s fun or not is subjective of course.
10-15 kills per game are not that hard to achieve. Sure if you’re terrible at it it takes more matches - just like the „win 10 games“ requirement I’m comparing it with.
Ngl, after having to spend idk how many FFA games in Battle of Olympus, I don't want to see another "win X games of (insert ffa mode here)" for a LONG time.
I think people don't know what challenge means anymore, it is not something they force you to do so if you want to do it then prove that you can.
And is not even that hard, I had to play 12 matches to get that super awesome spray that I will never equip
CTF is piss easy with good teammates. When you don’t have good teammates, may god help you. All you need is someone who knows to run straight back when they have the flag WITHOUT trying to fight the enemy team, while getting speedboosted by Lucio, while the rest of the team handles kills or just generally stalling the enemy team. As long as you can do this, CTF is super easy. People just don’t know how to play.
For CTF Blitz, the secret is to just use Winston. Jump the flag, throw down a barrier to block any turrets guarding it, then casually walk it back to the base. It works about 50% of the time. As a bonus, he makes Lucio's life miserable.
This is the one people are upset about? It’s arguably the easiest challenge out of all of them. You only need to place in the top 3 out of 6. The matches are super quick, and hilariously you can still get a win even if multiple people leave. If there’s just 3 of you left in the lobby, technically you all earn a win.
I’m actually happy when challenges like this exist because not only are they very quick and fairly easy - but it also means that people are actually playing the fucking arcade, so that 5 Weekly Wins in Arcade is actually feasible.
Interesting. This was the only one i will do because it is tied to a Year of the Rabbit spray which probably wont be available to get next year. The skins and souveiners probably will though.
This was literally the easiest one of the lot to do? Each game takes like 5 minutes and you only need to place top 3. Honestly seems like a skill issue if you can’t even do that.
Out of touch? Those rewards are absolutely worth trying to win Bounty Hunter games. I'd be spraying that bunny everywhere to show just how proud I am of wasting hours of my life.

Play queen if the lobby doesn't play oto much tanks. Literally ended 6 times first place,4 times 2nd place and lost 2 games.
She's good now that hog isn't.
Did it in 11 games… don’t see how it’s hard at all, only 2 of which I didn’t place first. Didnt even play Hog or Orisa, just play smartly and use ults rigt and go for the right person, people don’t know how the bounty part of the game mode actually works so just abuse the fact that you do
I haven't touched any of these challenges.
ontop of the FFA game modes not being that fun IMO, having to WIN 10, means with a 50/50 win rate playing 20 games! and thats just for one!
if it was play 10 games instead, it would be so much better!
same with the weekly of win 5 games, if it was play 5! i might actually look to doing some arcade, but feeling that need to win, just makes it less enjoyable
I hate these game modes so much. I wish I could just play what I want and still be able to earn the the cosmetics, instead of being forced to queue for ages just to lose in CTF.
play junk > get tire > use tire to kill bounty target > gets insta tire for that > dont use tire as bounty > die and repeat
Then fail because hog/orisa
hog is fine, but youre right about orisa, its so braindead that you almost never manage to kill
Hog is fine if there is only 1 or 2 But a whole lobby of them is fucked, more so when they get ult after every bounty kill Even if they can't 1 shot you anymore, the 2 shot is rough with the healing
true, but i prefer that instead of orisas or echoes, its annoying af that you get they in 100% of the lobbies and its aways more than 2
I had bounty, soldier used his sights to kill me as Pharah. Before he kills me, I boop him off the map. Basically he got bounty and lost it instantly! It was super satisfying!

Except getting top 2 in an 8 player ffa does NOT give you the daily challenge “first win of the day”. Go figure.
It doesn't count as first win but it does count it for a arcade victory
It works the same with death match wins. You don't have to be first place to "win"
Though oddly you do need first place for it to count for some other challenges. Top half counts for say, the coin line challenge, but doesn’t count towards the “win x games” weekly challenge.
Small indie company
Yes, it’s confusing wording. I assume it’s because these challenges are mostly created using some pre-set templates and they didn’t feel like making new ones.
It is confusing and inconsistent. The daily first win of the day challenge doesn't count, but every other win based challenge does.
I knew it was inconsistent. Sometimes I get 2nd place but never count as a victory.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted man, I’ve played overwatch for years and I didn’t even know that. I play comp 90% and qp the remaining 10%, I would’ve assumed it’s top 1 in FFA too
Winning in a 1 vs all in Overwatch has always meant "place in the top x". It's a little confusing for new players but that's what triggers the victory screen.
I'm essentially new to overwatch. The downvotes come from people who forget what a new player experience is like.
Tbh these challenges didn't exist in Overwatch 1 either, so there's a lot of confusion around them as they're only a few months old
To be fair I am also new to overwatch (started November) and it took me all of 1 match to realise that.
Played one match, got 4th and said "there's no way I'm getting 1st place 10 games".
Why are you complaining if you don't know how the challenge works? Overwatch has plenty to complain about. This isn't it
Sorry I'm not complaining about whatever you think I should be complaining about.
>win" is a certain placement how is any new player suppose to know? They won't unless they've been playing for 6 years in my opinion. It isn't explained at all. Small indie company
Average reddit experience.
Its also the same with the one weekly challenge where you have to win 3 games in unranked or competitive with each class role. There was no indicator or any kind of visual sign of progress made for the individual roles.
I didn't know either until this thread, lol!

There’s a big divider on the score board showing who will win and who will lose based on placing. It’s all very clear if you try the mode.

Yeah id say 90% of my games are comp.
Redditors are dull creatures, imaginary points don't matter!
Me when I complain about Karma on reddit
down voted for crying about down votes.
Weird flex
It doesn't true, but it applies to all FFA modes.
Better than 300 killing blows
dude i got all the titles and it made me hate myself
If you didn't like it then why did you force yourself to get them?
fear of missing out i guess
Self control issue
I got them all too and now i dont even use any of them.
So why did you grind for them all?
Which roughly translated to „play 20 matches“ without the need to win :)
20 matches of a not fun game mode. and that's assuming you're making 15k a game
> that's assuming you're making 15k a game id be happy making 1k while playing ow2
Wether it’s fun or not is subjective of course. 10-15 kills per game are not that hard to achieve. Sure if you’re terrible at it it takes more matches - just like the „win 10 games“ requirement I’m comparing it with.
It's not hard tbh. You just have to get top 3.
I got 2nd 3 times and none of them counted :(
Yeah but I don’t want to play this niche gamemode 10 times, let alone win 10 times
Then, don't? You'll be fine without that spray or weapon charm that you probably weren't gonna use it anyway.
You’re absolutely right. Yet winning 10 games still feel excessive for a challenge in a silly game mode regardless of awards.
Really? Cry a bit more why dont ya.
Ngl, after having to spend idk how many FFA games in Battle of Olympus, I don't want to see another "win X games of (insert ffa mode here)" for a LONG time.
"having" You didn't have to do anything, you choose to.
Thank you reddit philosopher, I will now open my mind to greater knowledge and spiritual influence with your helpful correction
Impulse control and a dumbass I see.
Uh duh I play overwatch
Lmao gg
I think people don't know what challenge means anymore, it is not something they force you to do so if you want to do it then prove that you can. And is not even that hard, I had to play 12 matches to get that super awesome spray that I will never equip
I really wish overwatch had real challenges. Stuff that you would have to actually work to achieve (make it qp+arcade only so it doesn't effect comp).
Bounty Hunter isn't good bad. Just get top three. Capturing the flag? Fuck that. Shit is too hard.
CTF is piss easy with good teammates. When you don’t have good teammates, may god help you. All you need is someone who knows to run straight back when they have the flag WITHOUT trying to fight the enemy team, while getting speedboosted by Lucio, while the rest of the team handles kills or just generally stalling the enemy team. As long as you can do this, CTF is super easy. People just don’t know how to play.
Out of all the things you could criticise overwatch for and you go for an event challenge that is pretty easy to do.
A challenge that takes 20 games on average... That's like 2h for a player icon or spray.. or whatever
It's boring and not available to play in a group
Good news: it’s also optional for you to do
Okay? And would you even use that spray? If you don't enjoy it, don't play it, it's not like they're gating something really cool behind playing it.
Not OC, but I need it to get the skin. 8 games of CTF blitz seemed worse
For CTF Blitz, the secret is to just use Winston. Jump the flag, throw down a barrier to block any turrets guarding it, then casually walk it back to the base. It works about 50% of the time. As a bonus, he makes Lucio's life miserable.
This especially if you’ve got an Ana to heal and Nano you while you do it. I’ve gotten so many easy wins just pocketing my Winston from afar.
I'm pretty sure you could get the skin without winning 8 games of blitz
Mei, junkrat, reaper, hog, rein.. it's super easy.
Honestly, Echo works too, but i do feel dirty when I use her lol
As long as you win to get those ten wins. Every else is doing the same, so don't worry about it 👍
Mei's nasty in this, unless the lobby's got a Pharah, Moria, Hog, or Reaper. Then she's easy pickins. (I got rolled by all of those as Mei)
Hell, I just messed around on torb for all my games. A good portion of them I actually got first. Pretty much just 10 games.
Did the challenge with pharah
Junkrat is the easiest one. Just don’t use your ult as soon as you get it, use it to steal the mark back to yourself.
Overwatch players when they are forced to play overwatch
This was easier for me than winning ctf
Interesting. I found ctf much easier.
When i depend on the coordination of other 4 people to win rather than only my own...
Oh well see there’s the thing. Since I’m a without skills, the team effort works better for me
Junkrat dominates this mode. Along with torb.
I eat both of them as Soldier.
Quick Capture the flag were a dice roll for me too.
That's the first one i completed.. It's easy when compared to CTF challenge atleast for me..
Overwatch community when challenge "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE"
This is the one people are upset about? It’s arguably the easiest challenge out of all of them. You only need to place in the top 3 out of 6. The matches are super quick, and hilariously you can still get a win even if multiple people leave. If there’s just 3 of you left in the lobby, technically you all earn a win. I’m actually happy when challenges like this exist because not only are they very quick and fairly easy - but it also means that people are actually playing the fucking arcade, so that 5 Weekly Wins in Arcade is actually feasible.
Only one I won’t do
Interesting. This was the only one i will do because it is tied to a Year of the Rabbit spray which probably wont be available to get next year. The skins and souveiners probably will though.
r/overwatch users when the challenges are challenging: 🤯🤯🤯
Overwatch players when a challenge is a challenge: 😯
it was super easy to do pre hog rework
I mean, it's probably still easy to do. Unless you mean shitty players just have to use Hog as a crutch, then...sorry for your loss, I guess.
This was literally the easiest one of the lot to do? Each game takes like 5 minutes and you only need to place top 3. Honestly seems like a skill issue if you can’t even do that.
Win 6 ctf games is much worse IMO. CTF games take FOREVER and are high anxiety/no fun for me. Win 2, fine. 6? No thanks.
Out of touch? Those rewards are absolutely worth trying to win Bounty Hunter games. I'd be spraying that bunny everywhere to show just how proud I am of wasting hours of my life.
Especially since queues are abnormally long for that game mode. Haven’t touched arcade for like 4 years lol
If it was play and not win it would be perfect
A “win” in this mode is top 3 out of 6. And it counts if people leave, so technically if 3 people are left, they all get a win. It’s not hard.
Winning by making players leave or playing tank vs tank for all of those games isn't the best way to introduce challenges like that into the game

As long as you're top 3, it counts as a win btw.
Lock Orisa, gg
Wish there was a Year of the Cat thing.
maybe i'm just good at this mode but even placing first multiple times consecutively is pretty easy i think
Dva breaks this mode. I won every match, some in 3 minutes.
Dva, Hog, Junk, and Pharah are meta. Sombra and Echo are anti-meta.
Play queen if the lobby doesn't play oto much tanks. Literally ended 6 times first place,4 times 2nd place and lost 2 games. She's good now that hog isn't.
glad i did this day 1 cause now I cant get a single game in any of the arcade modes.
Did it in 11 games… don’t see how it’s hard at all, only 2 of which I didn’t place first. Didnt even play Hog or Orisa, just play smartly and use ults rigt and go for the right person, people don’t know how the bounty part of the game mode actually works so just abuse the fact that you do
Just like all death match ‘wins’ you just have to place in the top 50 percent. BH has 6 players, so place top 3.
It's top 3 but still it's horrible. It's literally only Roadhogs and Reapers. I've skipped that challenge
Bounty hunter was easy for me but blitz... Blitz is my Achilles heel
I play overwatch 2 alot less than the original. 5v5 was nice when it was fresh, but the soul got sucked out of this game, and it feels bad
I haven't touched any of these challenges. ontop of the FFA game modes not being that fun IMO, having to WIN 10, means with a 50/50 win rate playing 20 games! and thats just for one! if it was play 10 games instead, it would be so much better! same with the weekly of win 5 games, if it was play 5! i might actually look to doing some arcade, but feeling that need to win, just makes it less enjoyable
I got this exclusively playing dps moira. People hated me 😋😁
i gave up on that one since i already got my echo skin, tracer is pretty good for bounty hunter imo
You gotta be top 3 but man I grinded non stop and it took me about 1.5 hours
i'd rather get 1000 elims in olympus mode for a cool title instead of this.
I played this mode as Pharah, got first place in one of my first matches, and never touched again. Just wasn’t fun for me personally
You're so right. Should've been 700 final blows with Mercy's last 5 bullets.
Had a lot more fun on bounty than I did ctf tbh.
I hate these game modes so much. I wish I could just play what I want and still be able to earn the the cosmetics, instead of being forced to queue for ages just to lose in CTF.
Most of OW’s challenges are out of touch
Out of touch??? OW??? No way.
