Bodies, also known as Battle-Cars, are the most basic and important method of player customization. Rocket League features ten standard car bodies. Four of these vehicles are available by default, while the other 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. Psyonix introduces new Battle-Cars via Blueprints, the Item Shop, and the Rocket Pass. There are currently over 75 vehicle bodies.

Base

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 default cars used to be Octane, Gizmo, Road Hog, and X-Devil. 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. Breakout, Octane and Merc are granted to every player from the beginning, other cars need to be unlocked via New Driver Challenges.
