Welcome to Overwatch and what is Overwatch?
In Overwatch, you control one of several heroes in competitive 6 person team shooting matches.Battle over objectives, take down the other team and achieve victory. Overwatch is a vibrant team-based shooter set on a near-future earth. Every match is an intense 6v6 battle between a cast of unique heroes.
Choosing your heroes
There are 30 heroes to pick before you begin the game. You'll need to choose a hero to play. Maybe controlling a cannon-toting, genetically-engineered ape from the moon appeals to you. Or, you might prefer zipping around as a teleporting, time-traveling freedom fighter. Who do you want to be?

Overwatch Achievements
Overwatch's achievements are simple to understand. There's a few related to generally playing the game and leveling up your profile. There are also a few for doing specific things successfully in a game. Then, the bulk of the achievements come from hero-specific achievements which can range from very easy to fairly tough. Luckily, most of those hero achievements will come simply by playing the hero properly and learning how they work.
This walkthrough will cover the game in two parts. First, we'll go over the gameplay. We'll discuss how progression works in the game, how to play the game modes, and of course, how to get the achievements. Then we'll go over the heroes, giving some general strategy for each so that you know how to approach playing the hero - their strengths, weaknesses, and when you should play them - as well as the achievements.
There are also events which return for a set amount of time most years which have specific achievements tied to them. These events are time-specific, and the achievements tied to them can only be unlocked while the event is live. Events that you have missed from previous years usually show again in the Arcade section of the game, so none of the achievements are unobtainable, you just have to play during these specific times.
The following events have taken place up to this point:
Summer Games: Usually start in the first week of August, ending in the third week of August. Usually a brawl in the form of a game mode called Lucioball.
Halloween Terror: Usually starts in the first week of October and ends on 31st October. Usually a PvE brawl called Junkenstein's Revenge, based on defending a certain checkpoint from waves of enemies, sent forth by Dr. Junkenstein.
Winter Wonderland: Usually starts in the second week of December and ends at the beginning of January. Usually a 6v6 snowball fight called Mei's Snowball Adventure, or a 1v4 hunt event called Yeti Hunt.
Lunar New Year: Usually start around the Lunar/Chinese new year, starting around the end of January and ending in the second week of February. Usually a Capture the Flag event based. In it's first incarnation, it was the Year of the Rooster. It is currently the Year of the Pig.
Overwatch Archives: Usually occur in the second week of April and finish at the beginning of May. These feature a PvE event that involves defending against waves of enemies, either while defending a payload or completing other tasks. The two current missions are called Uprising and Retribution, both of which allow old missions of the Overwatch team before they were disbanded to be replayed. These events are usually among the hardest events, with many hours usually being required to unlock all the related achievements, and good communication also very important.
In addition to the above, all time-specific events are usually available during the 2 week Overwatch Anniversary that lasts from the third week of May (around 22nd May) to the second week of June (around 11th June), this gives you time to wrap up anything you may have missed.
