There are 9 game modes to which you need win a match in. They are all accessed from the Multiplayer menu.

The game modes are:
• Supremacy
• Walker Assault
• Fighter Squadron
• Blast
• Cargo
• Drop Zone
• Droid Run
• Hero Hunt
• Heroes Vs Villains

8 of the game modes are team based so if you have a good team or are against a bad team you have a good chance of winning, Hero Hunt is the only game mode which its you versus everyone else which makes this achievement rather difficult. Hero Hunt has one Hero trying to gain kills on the normal storm trooper enemies (the modes scoring) whilst the storm troopers fight to kill the Hero which will then promote the person who ~~killed the hero to become~~ did the most damage to the hero* and have their chance to get kills.

I found this a very hard mode especially if you have a good player in the game.
senor scientist has unfortunately found out that a win by points in a tie game doesn't count for the achievement, you must win overall on kills.

Hero Hunt is boostable with an 8 player group, you can create a gaming session here.
From experience you will need to be in 2 parties of 4, members of each party need to search at the same time for the same mode OR once one member is in an invite is on screen with

to join that game, the other team need to then quickly search again to hopefully find the other party. It did take us 25minutes of trial and error.

If anyone doenst make it into the match and say 7 of you get in the last person should try to join their party members via the top of the screen, once you get the message you are in the queue STAY ON THAT AS IT WILL PUT YOU IN.

They've changed the requirements to becoming the Hero on Hero Hunt to a damage based system.It still sucks ass but at least its a little easier to actually become the Hero. Awful,awful game mode-i just find myself & the majority of players spend 90% of a match running around the map,getting killed then back to running around the map again. Its also quite obvious the majority of the players of this mode are either annoying kids or retards who spend half the time shooting their blasters at their fellow hero hunters for no apparent reason. Sorry rant over......have i told u i really hate Hero Hunt game mode??.....

Because of said "Hero Hunt" I have stopped trying to get this Achievement during the EA Access trial. Matches are too long and the 1v7 part can be quite frustrating with some heroes one-shotting you.

By Gigatoreador on 14 Nov 2015 13:36

For me its getting to actually kill the hero, I can be shooting with others at the last second and someone else gets the kill

By Spilner on 14 Nov 2015 14:04

Should be able to boost that one. Me and a couple of mates were all in the same game and once one became the hero we let him kill us... Sadly someone else won by a couple of points but with more players it should be easier to boost.

By Mince Pie 77 on 14 Nov 2015 17:48

Whats the biggest group you can search with? 4?

By Spilner on 14 Nov 2015 17:51

I'm sure it was giving us an option for 8 as each time we partied up it showed 3/8.

By Mince Pie 77 on 14 Nov 2015 20:59

Oh that's very easy to boost if that is indeed the case, I cant check as my trial ran out :/

By Spilner on 14 Nov 2015 21:03

I won every game mode, twice to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Still hasn't popped. Has this happened for anyone else?

By JohnyLou on 15 Nov 2015 14:30

What progress is the achievement on in the achievement app?

By Spilner on 15 Nov 2015 14:32

JohnyLou, same happened to me. The % is 88%, I win in all 9 modes :(.

By AlbertCampde on 15 Nov 2015 14:56

Have you played the matches you won from the start?

By Spilner on 15 Nov 2015 14:58

Hero Hunt is the most god-awful game mode I've ever played. It's essentially "do the most damage to the hero just to have someone fire off one lucky shot and get to be the hero instead." Just the absolute most dreadful competitive mode. Will never play again once I get this achievement.

By MaxStatsMax on 16 Nov 2015 04:35

I love hero hunt..... Unfortunately for most here it is a skill-based achievement in a massive online game which can hurt some. Biggest tip I can give is learn each hero/villian moves. They can save your game.

By KACG FeaR on 16 Nov 2015 06:08

This isn't tracking properly for me. So far I've played 4 modes and won in each of them, the tracker for the achievement that entails just playing a game of each correctly shows 4, whereas this achievement shows 3 (33%).

By Slam Shot Sam on 17 Nov 2015 14:22

Which modes have you played?

By Spilner on 17 Nov 2015 14:24

Blast, Cargo, Drop Zone, Droid Run.

By Slam Shot Sam on 17 Nov 2015 19:02

Has the progress updated with playing another mode?

By Spilner on 18 Nov 2015 03:13

I have the app and oddly enough it says I have a win in everything but domination.
Which isn't even a mode atm, from the look of things.

By Jawmuncher on 19 Nov 2015 02:40

Domination could be supremacy, unless that's listed already of course. Domination is a battlefield name

By Spilner on 19 Nov 2015 02:52

Same here, stuck at 88%. App telle me ten modes, domination is the one I need winning. A mode not currently in the game.

By Entenmann10 on 19 Nov 2015 03:00

If there was 10 modes 88% for tracking isn't possible, it would go up in 10% increments, the app lists all 9 I list and an extra one?

By Spilner on 19 Nov 2015 19:05

Weird, that's how I got my win in that mode

By Spilner on 20 Nov 2015 00:34

So do you win hero hunt by most kills or most points? I won with most points via most damage done to heroes but it didn't pop.. Stuck at 88% and I've played and won every game at least 3 times besides hero hunt, where I won by most points.

By MajorAb on 22 Nov 2015 09:01

Most kills, points are regardless as are damage dealt to the hero since it only matters whoever gets the last hit

By Spilner on 22 Nov 2015 11:14

walker assault is retarded impossible

By Mazdei on 27 Nov 2015 04:08

All comes down to how good your team is and how good theirs is. You'll get a win after a few matches

By Spilner on 27 Nov 2015 09:07

For people who stuck at 88% - you need to get a WIN on Walker Assault for EACH OF THE SIDES (rebel/empire)

strange that this has not been mentioned in the guide

By WarIsComingHome on 29 Nov 2015 21:54

Because I didn't have to do it... what is 100 divided by 9? 11.1. Whats 100 divided by 10? (Assuming your little win on each side theory) oh that's right its 10... so how exactly is the progress at 88% ?

Cause 8/9 would be 88% and 8/10 would be 80% and 9/10 would be 90%... oh so... I'm correct still.

By Spilner on 30 Nov 2015 13:28

Strange, I've won on everything, achievement stat says done! Unlocking... That was 12 hours ago. Weird, anyone else had this?

By JimboJambo86 on 05 Dec 2015 07:52

'Done! Unlocking...' what does it mean?

By Spilner on 05 Dec 2015 09:03

Has someone figured out how to make this pop? Still stuck at 88% :(

By Im Zotax on 06 Dec 2015 19:07

Can someone confirm if its true you can't win Droid Run by letting the time run out?

By Dislodged Puma on 13 Dec 2015 05:45

I have won every mode but droid was after time ran out we won and I have only won as a rebel on walker assault. Should I just keep powering to see if I can win each side of those?

By Dislodged Puma on 13 Dec 2015 06:23

Unrelated to the achievement but for anyone who wants to team up and take turns winning hero hunt for the t-47 airspeeder diorama figurine please addme and we can party up. I need 7 more but ill stick with u until u get your wins as well. Im sick of stressing out about this and playing a whole 15 minute match for nothing . GT: SilzzlinBac0n69

By TehFlameHashira on 16 Dec 2015 06:40

Please keep boosting requests to the game's forum or sessions, thanks

By Spilner on 16 Dec 2015 18:52

+1 for Hero Hunt is the most godawful game mode. I know how to use the hero skills but it doesn't matter since I can never actually be the hero.

There, just had to vent. Time to find a boosting session.

By Chucklestyle on 22 Dec 2015 00:20

I have to vent before I break something. I just have to say that hero hunt is the worst fucking game mode ever conceived in any game ever. It's fucking impossible. There's no skill involved. You can do 99% of the damage to a hero and some douche bag gets the final single shot on them and kill them to become the hero and rack up kills. Fuck this stupid ass luck based bull shit game mode.

By ThePaleHorseman on 01 Jan 2016 08:45

And thus, the power of bitching every now and then. After posting that comment the first match I played I steamrolled over everyone and won 50 points to the second place of 23. So just bitch now and then and everything is good.

By ThePaleHorseman on 01 Jan 2016 09:05

nicely done.

By Spilner on 01 Jan 2016 10:51

I'd like to boost hero hunt with those that would like to or those that are really nice and just want to help a fellow gamer getting one win for the most of us and I am included in that it's just next to impossible I'd really like to get this achievement. thank you

By Osiris 79bc on 17 Jan 2016 00:35

Ill add that into the solution, sorry it didn't count

By Spilner on 18 May 2016 09:53

Added that

By Spilner on 12 Sep 2016 17:30

Is there a way to track what you have and haven't done?

By mocoworm on 17 Nov 2016 13:48

Can the HERO HUNT game win be boosted successfully in a private match?

Or does it have to be in the multiplayer whole wide world environment only?

By wookieepuppy on 16 Mar 2017 18:47

Not in private matches I'm afraid.I ended up having to do a session for that win.Hate that damn game mode.

By Assassin Corvo on 16 Mar 2017 21:33

Explosive shot, scatter gun, jump pack, and scout with the dh17 deals a ton of damage to heroes. Got me a win on the second match I used it in.

By BadTriangle on 03 Apr 2017 01:32

Just wanted to say, you may want to select Princess Leia as your hero while doing this, most of all because she has a shield and she can heal herself with a short cooldown. Got this on Tatooine without dying once with her!

By keke7302 on 30 Apr 2017 11:29

Looking to boost this achievement, just need Hero Hunt win, message me on Xbox.

By Muddy Grundy on 28 Aug 2017 12:03

I'm a big fan of using the laser trip mines. Even if you are having trouble catching the hero a well placed mine can get some good damage. Great for catching the heroes who like to run away from the action.
While playing as the the hero it's important to choose your battles. Mobile hero's are the best so you can escape if you are taking on too many people at once. Health pickups spawn after you stay alive for awhile so those are huge for giving you more time to rack up kills.

By Llamaman2 on 24 Sep 2017 20:01

So, for Hero Hunt do you actually have to reach the score limit or can the timer run out? I won with 40 kills, but the timer ran out before any of us hit 50

By Smiththedude on 30 Oct 2017 23:46

Actually, the companion app says I have a win on Hero Hunt, but that apparently didn't count towards the achievement?

By Smiththedude on 31 Oct 2017 00:01

FYI, this can now be boosted with just 4 players.

By James Hoskin on 12 Nov 2017 23:19

FYI, this can now be boosted with just 4 players.

Thanks, James. Good to know.

Update: Not true, James Hoskin. Supremacy and Walker Assault need 20 people to start.

By Dr Marty on 13 Jan 2020 17:25

can't get hero hunt :(

By gonzogibbs429 on 14 Apr 2021 23:12

is there any way to see what modes you need? the companion app is busted and the web page is non existent, stuck on 88% and have no idea what one im missing

By II Dish II on 06 Sep 2021 23:26

Boosting this and some of the harder achievements

GT: MajorLoseGaming

Sep 2021. I have a friend or 2 as well that can help.

By Thai Scopes on 30 Sep 2021 09:29

January 2022, and still can't win the Hero Hunt on euro servers, there's always an incredibly skilled player (Goose something) that kills all of us... and of course it's the only game available in the all world.

By GoldenGreg on 07 Jan 2022 18:24

If you're like me and forgot to keep track of which modes you've already won, you can use the Battlefront Companion App to find your Game Mode Wins (it's buried somewhere in Expanded Stats).

By Timberbaron87 on 18 Nov 2015 13:31

Figured out why it was tracking wrong for me - in Droid Run I had to win by capturing and holding all 3 droids, having 2 of 3 and winning when time ran out didn't count.

Thankfully I won my first game of Hero Hunt by a country mile, so just one more mode to play and win in for both achievements.

By Slam Shot Sam on 20 Nov 2015 00:32

There are a number of horrible modes. Droid Run to some degree requires a team that works together anything short and you are going to have your butt handed to you over and over. Cargo is even worse. You have to have a good team or you are doomed. I was able to eventually win not having a team with me on either one of those but it took awhile. Hero hunt is my lone game mode and as stated it is very hard to win this one. You really do have to be proficient with your hero or your will lose. It is random when you will get the kill and become the hero so, you have to make everyone count!

By TOM USMC on 09 Jan 2016 18:13

Either create your own or use the sessions section in the sidebar to your right to find sessions, Solution comments isn't the place to find that.

By Spilner on 17 Jan 2016 00:47

Fuck Hero Hunt. After many failed attempts, I get a match where I "win," but it does not count for the achievement. I tied for kills with the person below me, but had way more points. The game tells me I am victorious, so I left that match with full confidence that the horrible experience was over. After the summary of the game, I leave and wait patiently for my achievement to pop. After a few moments, nothing pops. I then head over to the app and look for my win and it isn't there. I fucking lost it. I won. The game told me I won, but that doesn't fucking matter.

In addition to the solution above, those who didn’t keep track which game mode they already won may take a quick look at the Star Wars Battlefront Companion Application.

It is available for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ea.gp.star...), iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/app/star-wars-battlefront-companion...) and for Web browsers: http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/companion

Just log in via your EA-Account, navigate to CAREER and there to STATS & PROGRESSION in the main menu on the left. Then scroll down and click DETAILED STATS. Now scroll down again where you can find your GAME MODE WINS.

Note that TURNING POINT came with the first Download Content and is not needed for this achievement.

You need at least one win in the following game modes:

• Cargo
• Supremacy
• Walker Assault
• Team Blast
• Droid Run
• Fighter Squadron
• Drop Zone
• Heroes vs Villains
• Hero Hunt

Hope that helps!

Edit: as commented, the application is no longer available...

Yep, the same here.
Posted by Saturno Confort on 08 Nov 2017 at 15:37
Just a quick note, the companion app no longer works; seems it hasn't been updated for either Apple iOS, or Android. PC version seems to no longer exist.

So if you're like me, and you only need one more win in 2022; its gonna be an absolute pain to discover which mode you need to win.
