Game Overview & Core Concepts

Dive into Rocket League's core customization with vehicle bodies. Learn about default cars, unlockable Battle-Cars, and console-exclusive vehicles to personalize your gameplay.

Rocket League's customization centers around vehicle bodies, also known as Battle-Cars. The game features ten standard car bodies, with four available by default and six unlockable through gameplay. These base cars are categorized by rarity and assigned to one of six body types. Psyonix continually adds new vehicles through Blueprints, the Item Shop, and Rocket Pass, bringing the total to over 75 unique bodies.

• Base Cars: Octane, Breakout, and Merc are available from the start. Other base cars like Gizmo, Road Hog, and X-Devil are unlocked by completing matches.
• Console Exclusives: Specific vehicles are tied to console platforms: Sweet Tooth (PS4), Hogsticker and Armadillo (Xbox One), and Mario NSR, Luigi NSR, and Samus' Gunship (Nintendo Switch).
• Unlock Methods: Common bodies are often unlocked by completing matches or New Driver Challenges. Console exclusives have specific unlock requirements, such as completing a season for the Armadillo or playing with every common body for the Hogsticker.
