Rocket League offers extensive cosmetic customization for your vehicles, allowing players to personalize their Battle-Cars without affecting gameplay. Items like Wheels, Decals, Rocket Trails, and Toppers are purely aesthetic. These customizations provide no in-game advantages, ensuring fair competition while allowing for unique player expression.
Item Categories
Rocket League contains five different categories of items to collect:
- Decals
- Wheels
- Rocket Trails
- Toppers
Vehicle Customization
Bodies, also known as Battle-Cars, are the most basic and important method of player customization. Rocket League features ten standard car bodies:
- Four are available by default.
- Six require completed matches to unlock.
These ten default cars are classified as Base rarity. Each vehicle body is assigned to one of six possible Body Types.
New Battle-Cars are introduced via Blueprints, the Item Shop, and the Rocket Pass. There are currently over 75 vehicle bodies.
Common Vehicles
Most Common bodies can be unlocked simply by completing matches. Since Patch v1.79, the default cars unlocked from the beginning are Octane, Breakout, and Merc. The previous default cars were Octane, Gizmo, Road Hog, and X-Devil.
On August 3, 2017, Psyonix introduced painted variants of some Common bodies, obtainable via the trade-in system. These variants are classified as Import rarity.
