In Overwatch 2, players can strive to achieve various milestones that put their skills to the test when using specific heroes. Notably, one player successfully unlocked a particularly difficult achievement for Junker Queen, despite not actually playing as her. This accomplishment may capture the attention of Junker Queen enthusiasts who are still working towards the challenge in Overwatch 2. The achievement involves applying the "bleed" status effect to enemies seven times within a short timeframe while assuming the role of Junker Queen.
The launch of Overwatch 2 ushered in a new era for Blizzard's hero-based FPS game, bringing significant changes to its core mechanics. Additionally, the game introduced three fresh heroes, namely Sojourn, Junker Queen, and Kiriko. As subsequent seasons unfolded, Overwatch 2's hero roster expanded with the inclusion of several more characters, and Blizzard has plans to continue adding numerous new additions in the future. Junker Queen stands out as a distinct tank character, offering a unique perspective on close-quarters combat with her array of bladed weapons and abilities that can inflict a bleeding effect on adversaries.
With the introduction of new characters in Overwatch 2, players are challenged to master the abilities of each hero through new achievements. One notable achievement is "Adrenaline Junkie," which requires players to inflict seven active bleed wounds as Junker Queen simultaneously. A Reddit user, jackfromstarhill, surprised the community by obtaining this achievement in a unique way. They successfully executed an impressive play as Echo, duplicating an enemy Junker Queen. Their clip showcases a combination of devastating abilities, resulting in the annihilation of the entire enemy team.
Some players mistakenly believe that the achievement demands applying the bleed effect to seven different enemies. However, Overwatch 2 reduces team sizes to five players, and it is possible to stack the bleed effect on a single target by utilizing multiple attacks. Thus, the achievement can be obtained by attacking a group of fewer than five players. Nonetheless, precise enemy positioning and careful ability management are crucial to succeed. Currently, only a small percentage (less than 1%) of players have succeeded in unlocking this achievement.
Junker Queen's popularity in matches has been rapidly shifting due to the turbulent state of hero balancing in Overwatch 2. Initially, she was not considered as capable as other tanks on the roster. However, various balancing tweaks have significantly improved her survivability, resulting in her becoming a more frequently encountered adversary during matches. This suggests that Overwatch 2 still has room for improvement in terms of balancing. Recently, Blizzard announced that an upcoming patch will introduce changes to a widely-loved support character in Overwatch 2.
Overwatch 2 is currently available in early access on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
