Overwatch has a ton of achievements, ranging from the mundane to the nearly impossible. Stopping an enemy ultimate with a McCree Flashbang or getting two kills with one Soldier 76 Helix Rocket can be hard, but one achievement remains the hardest to get: The Floor Is Lava. In order to get this achievement, you have to get three kills while riding on walls in one game while in Quick or Competitive Play.

Without a doubt, The Floor Is Lava is the hardest achievement to unlock in Overwatch . Trying to juggle enemy health bars and aiming while sticking to a wall can be really hard, especially when it needs to be done three times in one game. Some players have gotten the achievement through unorthodox methods, like asking the enemy team for help. Reddit user myselfornot had his entire team leave, so his opponents were kind of enough to get bopped off a cliff.

If you want to try and get The Floor Is Lava the legit way, good luck. There are posts on reddit showing Lucio mains with over 60 or 70 hours of gameplay who just managed to pull these three kills off. Still, if you are mad enough to try and earn this achievement, there are a few tips that can help you unlock a new way to brag to your Overwatch buddies.

Lijiang Tower Is Your Friend- Out of all the maps with giant crevices, Lijiang Tower has the most open spaces next to walls. It’s much easier to ride a wall on the temple and push someone off the night market map, then it is to find a proper headshot while dodging Pharrah rockets in a high-pressure situation.

Booping Counts- You have to deal the final killing blow for it to count towards the achievement, but you don’t have to kill them. A strong push off a wall into a crevice or cliff counts as a kill, so boop as much as you can. On the night market in Lijiang Tower, hide behind or next to the control point. When an enemy walks by, use your push towards the cliff while riding on the wall. If you didn’t just waste your time on Pharrah or a Sombra with a teleporter, you should get yourself a kill. Remember, you don’t have to be amazing at wall riding, just competent enough to stay on the wall when the kill lands.

Getting This On Console Requires Mad Skill- Holding down the jump button while keeping your control stick on a wall and aiming at an enemy while dodging skill shots can be a bit overwhelming. Whenever I see someone with that extra 15 gamerscore because they have The Floor Is Lava, I know they are rugged gamers who spent hours getting everything perfect. Or they had dumb luck; I’ll have to see if they are a Genji main first.

Getting The Floor Is Lava legitimately is really hard and I have mad respect for anyone who’s done it. I got mine, but only through dumb luck and a lot of camping in Quick Play.
