How to unlock the Survival of the Fittest achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide
What is required
Shark Fin Hat
Unfair match
Best way to set up
Exhibition match
- Chose Any Map (not random so it makes loading faster)
- 1V2
- Unfair
Mutator Settings
- Match Length, 5 Minutes
- Max Score, 1 Goal
- Boost Amount, Recharge (Fast)
- Boost Strength, 10X
With these settings you get to top speed in a tap of the boost and are constantly getting some.
Match tips, Boost off the start and when you hit the 2nd boost pad in the center double jump forward to deflect the ball. After that just keep attacking and if you can, knock out the AI. With the 1 score I either lost in 8 seconds or barely missed the goal and lost at 1:30 but it was only about 8 matches.
Make sure you have the shark fin equipped & set the mutators to -
Max score - 1 goal
Ball speed - super fast
Ball type - cube
Ball weight - heavy
Ball size - small
Ball bounciness - low
Gravity - super high
Demolish - friendly fire (this 1 is optional but i thought it might help if the friendly fire affected them)
Leave the other settings as they are
I did it on "beckwith park"with the "Backfire" car
For some reason when the enemy goes to hit the cube they then stop right in front of it after they drive about a car length while pushing it so you just line up the cube to their goal & boost right into it, chances are 1 enemy car might interupt you but then he stops again after making contact with the cube, the enemy had a clear drive of my goal at 1 point when i tested this for the 2nd time after i got my achievement & he did nothing! It might be that the cube is too heavy for them to push as they manage to push it a bit further when they hit it at full speed
Please leave a comment if youve had this happen as well as im trying to figure out if it just happened to me
After the fin topper is equipped, head over to Exhibition and set up a game. Any arena can be selected however you must ensure that the bot difficulty is set to unfair, i'd recommend 1v2 to keep chaos to a minimum.
I would also recommend setting the mutators for only one goal to be scored and for unlimited boost to allow you to attack and defend quickly. Once these settings are correct, head into the game.
All you have to do in the game is score a goal. Since the game is set to only one goal , if you score, you win. If they score, keep restarting until you win the game. As soon as the game ends, the achievement should pop if you did everything correctly!
For more of a detailed explanation and demonstration watch this.
Create your Exhibition Match with 1v2 Unfair bots.
Go to Mutator Settings and set Max Score to 1 GOAL.
Change any other settings you think will give you an advantage. I set Boost Amount to UNLIMITED, Ball Max Speed to SUPER FAST and Boost Strength to 10X. This made it easier for me to smash the ball into the goal from far away.
Start the match. If you score, you get the achievement. If they score, just try again.
It appears you no longer need the actual item I had the skullfire topper and beat the bot team,
Game mode Soccar
Arena Urban Central (don’t think that matters)
Team size 1v2 (may need to change to unfair for this to be an option)
Bit difficulty Unfair
Mutators 1 goal
Equip the "Scarab" or "Zippy" as the car of your choice and win the MVP trophy at the end of the match. Should come naturally (but I can not guarantee this)
Also, have the "Hearts" Decal equipped on your car.
And of course, to meet the requirements for this trophy you have to equip the "Shark Fin Topper" and then start an Exhibition match. Select "Unfair" as difficulty and then "1 VS 2" (should be default setting)
In general theory, the tactics is fairly simple. Shoot the first goal and just defend your own for the rest of the match. But, easier said then done, so...
General tip: If you don't really need it, I also would recommend you, to disable the ball-cam temporary.
Like mentioned, right at the beginning of the match, instantly dash forward and shoot a goal after the first kick-off. If you can't make it, you might as well restart the match, but that's not a must if you are confient enough in your skills.
For the second kick-off, just kick away the ball from your own goal, then head back there and wait until the opponents try to shoot at it. In 8/10 attemps, the AI will try to shoot straight head-on. When this happens, just kick the ball as far away from your goal as even possible to gain some time.
If the opponent doesn't shoot head-on and the ball fly's in paralell to the boundary of the playing field you have to guess where it might bounce off to hit it and dispose it again. Also, always be on the lookout where both of the AI players are. You want to receive a goal because you lost track of one player.
If the ball does not fly into the opponents half of the playing field, JUST STAY INSIDE YOUR GOAL AND DON'T LOOSE SIGHT OF THE BALL!
If the ball and the opponents are far away and no immediate threat, use the momentum and refill your turbo boost. Best thing of course the full charge from the corners. Or the smaller recharge in front of the goal.
Also, if the ball is far away in the opponent half and you see a chance to get another goal yourself to extend the lead, you might use the opportunity. But always be aware, this tactic could backfire on you if you are not 100% vigilant.
Don't immediately give up if you receive a goal. Remember, the match runs 5 minutes. this can be a long time. And you always may get a chance to strike a fast counter-goal. In fact i would only advice you to restart, if you are behind more then one goal. Else, let the time run down and hope for a quick strike of your own.

Equip any Topper on any vehicle, it doesn't have to be one of the new ones if you have a favourite vehicle. Now select unfair and put team size 1v2, you can make the other team bigger but there is literally no reason to make things harder than they are already. The bots are around All-Star level and you are outnumbered.
The main tactic you'll want to employ is staying as a goalkeeper. If you try to attack, you will lose the ball and they will likely shoot into an empty net. About 60% of the shots they take are pretty easy to save by anyone. The time you will want to strike is after saving, if both of the opposition are far from their goal. Try to rush in, score and rush back if you are unsuccessful so you don't concede. Make sure if you rush in you save some nitrous for a possible retreat unless you are 100% certain you will score.
As for the kick offs, ignore nearly all of them and go immediately to the goal though the one exception is when they are both diagonal to the ball and so are you. When you should rush to the ball, do a frontflip to make sure you block the ball otherwise they will hit an near unstoppable shot 90% of the time. Also try and keep the ball if you are a couple of goals up but be careful not to stray too far from your goal in case you get dispossessed and concede. Once the game is over and you are hopefully victorious, you will get this trophy.
If you are struggling with 1v2 and you have someone else decent to play with, you can also use this great method from dotcom to even the odds:
1) Have either player start a 1v2 Unfair Match.
At this point, only one controller is on.
2) Play part of the match and have the second player join in. The second player will turn their controller on, and choose a different profile on the PS4. Once back in the game, hit on the second controller and it will add a player into splitscreen.
3) This is now a 2v2 game. Play and win.
You can hit rematch/replay as often as you want. If you go back to the main menu you will need to start the process over.

As of the 1.08 patch, Mutators have been introduced to Rocket League, giving you a multitude of fun game options. Some of these can really help, the most useful of which being 1 goal to win, meaning you only need to score first to win, meaning you wont have to survive a 5 minute onslaught after taking the lead. Other mutators can also help, but most of them affect the AI too so are limited in their use. I tested mutators on my alt and they did not void the trophy.
Upon unlocking the Shark Fin topper through progression, equip it to any vehicle and begin an Exhibition match against Unfair Bots and change the Mutator Settings so that Max Goal is at 1. This makes it a 1v2 match. Simply win the match to unlock the achievement.
Set Max score: 1 , Boost strength: 10x . We immediately score a goal and get the trophy. If it doesn’t work, click restart .
I also noticed that if it didn’t work out the first time, then when you select Restart match , the bot flies to the ball faster than the first time. As a result, I made the trophy after several attempts, but exiting to the main menu after an unsuccessful attempt and starting the match again.
It's quite difficult. The main tactic is not to attack . We sit and defend the goal - if possible, we shoot towards the enemy goal.
