What is the best car in Rocket League? A difficult question with so much to choose from. Fortunately, there are fewer hitboxes than cars. Which car with which hitbox ends up being the best fit for you is something you’ll have to decide for yourself. We can only help you by taking a look at potentially the five best Rocket League cars and their hitboxes. We’ll explain why we think they’re superior to all other Rocket League cars, and why they’re the most played in all leagues and Pro Play. Here are the top 5 best cars in Rocket League!
1. Fennec: The Fennec is also one of the newer cars. New doesn’t always mean better, but in this case it does. Psyonix has learned and even further optimized the Octane hitbox. The Fennec fits it better than the Octane itself. That makes it the perfect and thus best car in Rocket League. Many pros have also already acquired a taste for it and switched to it. | © Psyonix
2. Octane: The classic Rocket League car and everyone’s favorite hitbox! This car is not only wonderful to play, but as sexy as it gets. The Octane is insanely popular and an absolute all-rounder. If it weren’t for the Fennec, it would definitely be our number 1. | © Psyonix
3. Dominus: Another standard Rocket League car and probably the second most popular hitbox in the game. Anyone who has a few hours on their Rocket League hump knows how dangerous the powershots from a Dominus are. The large turning circle takes some getting used to, but those who need to catch up on flip timing can make up for it with the Dominus. | © Psyonix
4. Breakout: The Breakout is one of the first cars in Rocket League and the namesake of the eponymous “Breakout Hitbox”. With more and more alternatives for the Octane, things are looking worse and worse for the Breakout. Still, the hitbox is not to be underestimated. Flip resets work wonderfully and in 50-50s you emerge victorious against non-dominus. | © Psyonix
5. Outlaw: The new release of the Octane hitbox with a western look. The Outlaw is of course not played that much yet, but it is on the rise. After all, it has the most played hitbox and is incredibly agile. You can quickly get used to that. | © Psyonix
Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies
Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.
Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.
Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.
Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.
The Rocket League ABC
In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.
50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.
Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.
Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.
Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.
Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.
Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.
Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.
Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.
ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.
Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
