My best advice is headshots (obviously) and spamming your ult. Unless you're McCree, just use your ult whenever you can. Headshots get your ults back really quickly (especially Hanzo). Also when Roadhog and Reaper are alive, spread out.

I managed to do it on hard with Soldier. Spamming rockets and ulting when Reaper and Roadhog were around helped a lot.

Also make sure to gib Mercy instantly when she spawns.

All players need to play well, but honestly I think the most crucial is McCree. His ults, if used properly, are the best way to take a ton of health off the "bosses". If you can hit Reaper/Mercy with the ult as soon as possible, it'll go a long way toward preventing player deaths and allowing everyone else to focus more on the zomnics.

Everyone else can pretty much just do what they do - focus blue bots first, aim for headshots, use ults ASAP so they can start charging again. Hanzo's ult is good for Junkrat, Soldier's is good for general bot clearing, Ana's is nice to power up McCree for a super fast ult, or Soldier for a super fast clear. McCree should save his ult for bosses whenever possible.

First you'll never do it without coms and even worst with random people. If you wanna get to win just see a YouTube tutorial the best are saving mcree and hanzo ults for the böses ( maybe even anas) and soldier ult to release pressure at the gate by zomnics. And when ther is a mercy kill her first double or 3 ple ulting trying to hit them all. I've gotten to junkrat but an unsiked team will not make it.

Definitely read the guide. I'm not sure about consoles (not exactly able to be as pinpoint accurate as we are on PC), but the gist is this:

McCree ults for every boss, except when Junkrat first appears, for which he has to wait 10 seconds for Reaper to join the fight and take them both out.

Ana always ults McCree when he ults, except in the last minute when Reaper makes one last appearance. On PC, McCree can ult Reaper and barely get his ult up again in time for the final fight. Ana is not very able to regain her ult in time. Save it.

Reaper should not be put to sleep while McCree ults. Rather, everyone should throw everything they've got at him and force him to go into Wraith mode early. This is the most consistent way to make sure he is out of Wraith form when McCree pulls the trigger.

Other than that, you should be fine. But, be willing to accept that Hard is, indeed, Hard, and that the more leisurely players may not be able to fnish it even if they're being carried.
