Event Instructions
“The call of the wild. Beast vs. beast! Go hunting with Cheeseburger or Peaches and loot some animal hearts.”
Now, let’s go over the best way to complete this event efficiently.
How to Complete the Heartbreaker Live Event
Step 1: Recruit Your Companion
Before you begin, you’ll need either Cheeseburger (the bear) or Peaches (the cougar) as your active companion. If you haven’t unlocked them yet, you’ll need to complete their respective companion quests:
- Cheeseburger – Complete the “A Right to Bear Arms” mission.
- Peaches – Complete the “Here Kitty, Kitty” mission.
Step 2: Find Easy Animal Targets
To make this challenge as easy as possible, focus on farm animals like cows and bulls. These can be found at various ranches and farms throughout Hope County. Some good locations include:
- Flatiron Stockyards (Holland Valley)
- Eden’s Gate Farms (John’s Region)
You can also hunt wild animals such as deer or wolves, but farm animals are easier to locate and eliminate quickly.
Step 3: Use Your Companion to Kill
Once you find a suitable hunting area, follow these steps:
- Activate an Ultimate Hunter (optional) to highlight animals nearby.
- Aim at an animal and command Cheeseburger or Peaches to attack.
- After they kill the target, loot the body to collect an Animal Heart (Mission Item).
- Repeat this process until you collect 8 Animal Hearts for your personal progression.
🔹 Pro Tip: If you’re hunting in an area with multiple animals, move quickly from one target to the next before they scatter.
How to Claim Your Heartbreaker Live Event Rewards
Once you’ve collected enough Animal Hearts, you can claim your rewards through the Live Events tab in the Online menu. Here’s where to find each reward after unlocking them:
- 50 Silver Bars – Available in the Live Events Progression screen.
- P08 “Pastel Power” Pistol – Find it at any Weapons Shop under the Sidearms tab. This custom P08 comes with a unique heart-themed skin.
- Heartbreaker Shirt – Available under Character Customization > Upper Body.
This week’s event is straightforward and doesn’t require much effort beyond letting Cheeseburger or Peaches do the work. While the rewards are mostly cosmetic, the P08 “Pastel Power” adds a fun touch to your loadout.
