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:
