Mad Scientist achievement in Rocket League

252 9 43

This achievement can be unlocked either naturally by playing the rocket labs 3v3 online playlist, or in exhibition.

For a nice quick unlock, simply enter exhibition match and select the following;
Game Mode : Soccar
Arena(s) : Underpass, Utopia Retro, Double Goal, Cosmic, Pillars (any 3 of these 5 are fine).
Team Size : 1v1
Bot Difficulty : No Bots
Mutator Settings : Max Score = 1goal

Once in, score a quick goal for the win, select exit to main menu after the match and then select the next arena. The achievement should unlock within a few seconds of completing the 3rd match.

Important Note - 22/06/16
Some users are reporting problems unlocking this achievement. The game is failing to track progression towards the unlock under certain circumstances, yet is still ticking off the arenas as completed internally. This means some have played all 5 arenas yet only have 33% or 66%.

Advice for now would be to track your percentage after each match to make absolute certain it is progressing.

Since I have been unable to replicate the bug, I have no idea on a fix. Will update if that changes.

just quit to main menu before going to the next level. worked fine for me. when i first just went to the next level, my progress didnt change. going to the main menu after each win fixed it.

HELLO!
I may have a solution for people not getting tracked. I played 2 matches and it tracked fine then stopped.
And I simply let the AI score in a 5th attempt. And it tracked. Don't lnow if it's really a solution

Same as RyanMpwnz, I tried deleting my save without Going offline didn’t work. Still an issue in 2022 anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I found this article buried away on reddit. This method worked for me and fixed it once I was able to sync my cloud save. For anyone still struggling, follow this method. Happy to help anyone too if they need. :)

This solution to the bug is pretty out there but for those in a similar situation: I lost my old Xbox One, got a new one, downloaded RL, played one match in Underpass Exhibition (I had previously played all 5 on my old xbox), and it popped. If you've upgraded your Xbox since hitting the bug, try giving this one a quick go again.

For anyone who is still struggling with this achievement: close rocket league and go offline through settings > network settings, then delete the local data on your Xbox for rocket league, open rocket league and start 5 different exhibition maps for Soccar 1v1 beginner bots (select the max 1 goal mutator to save time) on cosmic, pillars, double goal, underpass and utopia retro (this is just in case some of the games do not work). After the 5th game, close rocket league and boot online the same way you booted offline previously. If the achievement has not popped yet, open rocket league and select to run through cloud play if it asks you to. Now you should get your achievement, this worked with me and my friend :)
