The Heartless Badge in Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly is one of the most unsettling and unique achievements players can unlock. Unlike most badges that reward survival or quick thinking, Heartless requires the exact opposite—embracing failure during a rare, story-driven anomaly. Introduced as part of the Valentine/Cupid-themed update, this badge is tied to a secret encounter where your character literally loses their heart.
In this guide, you’ll learn what the Heartless Badge is, how the Cupidon anomaly works, and the precise steps needed to unlock it without mistakes. Whether you’re a badge collector or a completionist aiming for 100% progress, understanding this event is essential—because one wrong interaction can permanently lock you out until the next run.

What the badge is?
- Game: Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly (on Roblox).
- Badge name: Heartless. It was added in the Valentine/Cupid-themed update and links to the Cupidon encounter.
- Why you get it: You fail the “find your heart” objective after Cupidon strikes you — i.e., you run out of the allotted time and the shift ends as a result. The game then grants the Heartless badge and shows a special ending message.
Exact, tested step-by-step to get Heartless
- Launch Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly and start a Story or Endless run — Cupidon can spawn in both modes.
- Wait for the heartbroken man (described in guides) to come to your stall. He’s the stooped/heartbroken customer who mentions a fight with a friend. Don’t close your shutter on him. Let the dialogue finish.
- Give him free shawarma (or otherwise hand over the food when prompted). That action is the trigger — Cupidon will spawn immediately after you serve him. (Guides explicitly say spawning is tied to giving free shawarma to that customer.)
- Cupidon will shoot an arrow at you — your screen changes (grey/red), and a three-minute “find your heart” objective begins. You will hear a heartbeat cue that grows louder as you approach the heart.
- Important for the Heartless badge: Even if you find the heart, do not pick it up. Let the three minutes expire (or deliberately fail to collect it). When time runs out and your character “expires,” the game will give you the Heartless badge and the special ending text.
(Short checklist: wait for stooped man → don’t close shutter → give free shawarma → Cupidon spawns → let the heart timer run out without picking it up → badge awarded.)
Where to search for the heart (practical tips)
- The heart is usually outside the kiosk (walk around the exterior). Follow the heartbeat sound — louder = closer. The heart looks like an anatomical/pulsing heart lying on the ground. Interact key is used to pick it up. If you want the badge, don’t interact.
Badge statistics & reliability
- Badge trackers list the Heartless badge and show it as a low-win-rate / collectible badge (third-party listing shows it as a recently-created badge with a modest award count — useful if you want to confirm it exists and see prevalence). Use badge tracker sites to check exact awarded counts.
Known issues & troubleshooting
- Some players report (in videos/comments) occasional problems where the badge does not immediately register — common causes: not actually triggering Cupidon correctly, picking up the heart by accident, or server/glitch issues. If it doesn’t show: verify you actually triggered the Cupidon sequence (the red/grey screen + three-minute timer), then reproduce the steps and let time expire without interacting. Video walkthroughs can help confirm the exact visual cues.
Quick troubleshooting summary
- If badge didn’t unlock:
- Confirm Cupidon actually struck you (screen effect + timer). If nothing happened, you didn’t trigger the event.
- Make sure you didn’t pick up the heart (picking it up cancels the game-over outcome that grants Heartless).
- Try again in Story/Endless mode; some users recommend trying a private server or different server if glitches occur. (If the game offers a revive/continue prompt, choosing to pay Robux to continue will prevent game-over and thus prevent Heartless from awarding.)
FAQs – Heartless Badge (Scary Shawarma Kiosk)
1. What is the Heartless Badge?
The Heartless Badge is a secret achievement in Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly that unlocks when you fail the Cupidon heart-retrieval event instead of surviving it.
2. Is the Heartless Badge missable?
Yes. If you pick up the heart during the Cupidon event, the run continues and you will not receive the Heartless badge. You must intentionally let the timer expire.
3. Which mode should I play to get the badge?
The badge can be obtained in Story Mode or Endless Mode, as long as the Cupidon anomaly triggers correctly.
4. How do I trigger the Cupidon event?
You must interact with the heartbroken customer (stooped man), let his dialogue finish, and give him free shawarma. This action summons Cupidon.
5. How long do I have to get the heart?
You are given approximately 3 minutes to find your heart. For the Heartless badge, do nothing and allow the timer to run out.
6. Where does the heart spawn?
The heart usually spawns outside the kiosk, somewhere nearby. A heartbeat sound grows louder as you approach it.
7. Can I revive and still get the badge?
No. If you revive, continue, or save yourself, the game-over condition does not occur and the badge will not unlock.
8. Do I need to die to earn the Heartless badge?
Yes. The badge is awarded only after the forced game over caused by failing the heart objective.
Things to Avoid (Very Important)
❌ Picking up the heart
- This is the most common mistake. Even touching it once cancels the Heartless ending.
❌ Closing the shutter on the heartbroken man
- Doing so prevents the Cupidon event from triggering at all.
❌ Skipping or rushing the dialogue
- Make sure the interaction fully completes before serving food.
❌ Reviving after the timer ends
- Revives cancel the badge condition.
❌ Leaving the server early
- Stay until the game-over screen fully finishes to ensure the badge registers.
❌ Assuming it’s bugged after one try
- Server glitches can happen. If it doesn’t unlock, retry in a fresh server.
