Vehicle Customization
Vehicle customization is a cornerstone of the Rocket League experience, allowing players to personalize their rocket-powered cars to reflect their individual style. The garage is your hub for transforming a standard Battle-Car into a unique expression of your personality on the field. This customization is purely cosmetic and does not impact a vehicle's performance or hitbox, ensuring fair competition.
The primary elements of vehicle customization include the Body, which determines the car's shape and hitbox; Decals, which add patterns and dess to the car's surface; Paint Finishes, which alter the texture and sheen of the paint; Wheels, which are the tires and rims of your vehicle; Rocket Boost, the trail of fire that emits from your car when boosting; Toppers, items that sit on top of the car; and Antennas, small flags that attach to the rear of the vehicle. Each category offers a wide variety of options, from common items to rare and animated collectibles.
Players acquire these customization items through various in-game methods. These include earning them by playing matches, completing challenges, progressing through the Rocket Pass, opening item crates, or purchasing them directly from the in-game Item Shop. Trading with other players is also a popular way to acquire specific items you desire. The sheer volume of available items means that You can spend hours curating their perfect car setup, ensuring they stand out from the crowd.
