My Breakdown Of The 10 Common Rocket League Cars

I swear I’ve spent nearly as much time customizing my cars as I have played in actual matches.

If you don’t know what "Rocket League" is, it’s a game where you control rocket-powered cars while playing variations of popular sports like soccer, hockey, or basketball. And yes, it is as fun as it sounds.

Originally being released in 2015 for Windows and PlayStation 4, it has since been ported onto Xbox One, macOS, Linux, and even the Nintendo Switch. Its accessibility between platforms is a testament to its success.

In my opinion, one of the best parts of the game is the ability to customize the cars you use with different paint jobs, decals, toppers (little hats your car can wear), and antenna. I swear I’ve spent nearly as much time customizing my cars as I have played in actual matches.

As far as cars go, there are three different classes: common, which are cars that can be unlocked from playing, imports, which can be gained from unlocking crates, and premium, which are only available from purchasing certain downloadable content.

Currently, between common, import, and premium (but excluding platform exclusives), there are 46 different car bodies you could unlock and open! Although unlocking all would be an extremely expensive endeavor.

While all the cars look different from each other, all have the same max speed. But according to the official Rocket League subreddit, their hitboxes are grouped in certain body types. These body types are Octane, Dominus, Plank, Breakout, and Hybrid. It takes a while to learn what kind of car you like the best. Personally, I prefer a Hybrid type car, specifically the ’99 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34.

There are currently 10 different common cars that you can unlock just by playing the game. Below order my favorites and list what body type said car belongs to:

10. Gizmo.

Octane.

9. Road Hog.

Octane.

8. Paladin.

Plank.

7. Backfire.

Octane.

6. Hotshot.

Dominus.

5. Breakout.

4. X-Devil.

Body type: Hybrid.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
