Basic Controls & Keybindings

Rocket League is a physics-based vehicle soccer game where players control Battle-Cars to score goals. Understanding the basic controls and how to customize your vehicle is crucial for success. The game offers a variety of car bodies, some available by default and others unlocked through gameplay.

In Rocket League, players customize their experience primarily through Bodies, also known as Battle-Cars. The game features ten standard car bodies, with four available from the start. The remaining six require completing matches to unlock. These initial ten cars are classified as Base rarity.

Each vehicle body is assigned to one of six possible Body Types. Psyonix introduces new Battle-Cars through Blueprints, the Item Shop, and the Rocket Pass. Currently, there are over 75 vehicle bodies in the game.

The following cars are granted to every player from the beginning:

Breakout
Octane
Merc

Other cars can be unlocked via New Driver Challenges. Additionally, painted variants of some Common bodies, obtainable through the trade-in system, are classified as Import rarity.
