How to unlock the Heartbreaker achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide
-1v1
-All-Star Bot difficulty
-Max 1 Goal
Equip Hearts Decal (Or any decal apparently)
(It has been patched, people are reporting unlocking this with any decal as of November 2023)
As soon as you start the match, move out of the way, when the AI hits the ball and its about to go into the goal, pause the game, switch to the opposite team, as soon as the ball goes in, you will get the achievement for winning.
Clearly the down votes are because they do not like earning achievements.
EASIEST WAY!
Now that you have hearts equipped from the garage, start an Exhibition match with these settings.
-2v2
-All-Star Bot difficulty
Mutator settings should be default with this change:
-Score maximum 1
Using 2v2 you have a teammate on the same level as the opponents without making it too difficult to score. If the other team scores simply restart and try again. Just play smart and try to take advantage of shots near the goal. Be ready to play defensive even though your teammate does a good job of it. With some luck, your teammate may even make the goal for you which will still unlock the achievement. Good luck, and I hope this helps.
NOTE: If you meet the requirements and this doesn't unlock double check that you are connected to the Rocket League servers. If you're not, then try to get them back on by starting an online match then try again.
Once you have the hearts decal, find the car which it applies to and apply it to that car. Leave the garage.
You then need to set up an exhibition game against the AI. Go to Exhibition and select any arena you like. It's useful for the game to be either 1v1 or 2v2 as it's less chaotic and gives you more chances to score. Don't forget to set their difficulty to All-Star.
It's also helpful to set mutators. The ones which I would recommend would be the goal limit being set to 1 which would ensure the game remains short and can be restarted upon failure. The second mutator I would recommend is the unlimited boost as this will allow you to quickly hit your opponent on the attack or get back to defend, if necessary.
Once these settings have been configured, head into the game. I would recommend you play on the defensive until you see and opening and try to score. If you do, the game should end and the achievement should pop. If they score, restart the game and try again.
For a detailed explanation and demonstration check out this video.
In the match have the oponent kick the ball to your side of the stadium and pause the game and select change team change your team to the oppsing team and it will say that your team scored.
bots-all-star
1v1 (doesnt matter)
mutator settings and make max goals 1 so you dont have to play for 5 mins and just score a goal match over cheevo pop
*Edit: Only the Scarab or Zippy can equip it
I believe at this time only Scarab or Zippy may have the heart Decal.
Once you unlock the Heart Decal, do not forget to select it on your vehicle.
Go to exhibition, All Star Bots, 1v1. No other mutators are needed.
As soon as the game starts, move out of the way, the bot will hit the ball straight at your goal, as soon as the ball is about to go in, pause the game, swap teams and when the ball crosses the line, achievement unlocked.
You no longer need the Hearts decal, any decal will do the trick.
As far as getting the win, the other solutions have some helpful tips, but all-star bots you should be able to limit it to a 1 goal win and just get a cheap goal at the very beginning by either:
*If you are at an angle to the goal: just boost and accelerate straight at it, and try to hit it with the corner of your bumper so it gets knocked in at an angle
*If you are straight on: accelerating and boosting straight at the ball and braking at the last moment. (If you don't brake, it will likely go too high and bounce off the top of the goal). You can also hop at the last second instead of braking, to lower the trajectory.
First off, equip a decal on any car. If you do the Unfair trophy with a decal equipped, you'll get this too. If not then load up an exhibition match with all-star bots, any size teams but the more the better as it’s less likely you'll need to specifically make an impact to be on the winning team. I did it on 4v4 and won despite barely doing anything of significance. If you're losing, you can switch sides without penalty near the end. Watch this video for a nifty little trick you can do (credit to cenorexia):
Upon unlocking the Hearts decal through progression, equip it to any vehicle and begin an Exhibition match against All-Star Bots and change the Mutator Settings so that Max Goal is at 1. Simply win the match to unlock the achievement.
