Finding Teammates for Ranked Play

Discover effective strategies and tips for finding reliable teammates to dominate in Rocket League's ranked playlists. Improve your team play and climb the ranks.

This guide is about finding teammates for ranked play in Rocket League. The provided source text, however, is about the in-game vehicles (Bodies/Battle-Cars) and their unlock methods. Therefore, this section will focus on the information available regarding vehicles.

Bodies, also known as Battle-Cars, are the most basic and important method of player customization. Rocket League features standard car bodies, with four available by default and six requiring completed matches to unlock. These ten default cars are classified as Base rarity and are assigned to one of six possible Body Types. Psyonix introduces new Battle-Cars via Blueprints, the Item Shop, and the Rocket Pass. There are currently over 75 vehicle bodies.

Common Vehicles:

Most Common bodies can be unlocked by completing matches. The default cars unlocked from the beginning are Octane, Breakout, and Merc. Other cars need to be unlocked via New Driver Challenges. On August 3, 2017, Psyonix introduced painted variants of some Common bodies, which could be obtained via the trade-in system. These variants are classified as Import rarity.

Console Exclusives:

The PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch game versions include console-exclusive unlockable Battle-Cars: Sweet Tooth (PS4), Hogsticker and Armadillo (Xbox One), and Mario NSR, Luigi NSR, and Samus' Gunship (Nintendo Switch).

• The Hogsticker is unlocked by playing one match with every common body.
• The Armadillo is unlocked by completing a season in the single-player Season Mode.
• The Mario NSR may only be used while on the orange team.
