All Game Items - Rocket League

All Game Items in Rocket League

This guide covers every major item category in Rocket League. Items are almost entirely cosmetic, with no gameplay advantages, but they are central to progression, trading, and personalization. Items are grouped logically with explanations on how to obtain them, their uses, and any special notes.

Currencies

Currency	Purpose	How to Obtain	Notes
Credits	Primary premium currency. Used to buy Rocket Pass, items from Item Shop, Blueprint crafting, trade in for items.	Purchased with real money via platform stores (Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop).	1 Credit = $0.01 USD. Minimum purchase is usually 500 Credits. Can be traded between players (only if both have 2FA enabled).
Rocket Pass Tokens (RP Tokens)	Earned by leveling up the Rocket Pass (paid track). Used to unlock specific Rocket Pass items without completing tiers.	Earned at specific tiers in the Rocket Pass (e.g., every 5 tiers, 1 token).	Tokens are not tradable. They are consumed when used to claim an item from the pass.
Tournament Credits	Used to redeem tournament reward items from a dedicated wheel.	Earned by participating in Tournaments (any rank). Amount depends on finish position and tournament tier.	Tournament Credits reset at the end of each season. Unspent credits are exchanged for a bonus item.

Blueprints and Crates

Blueprints are the current system (crates were removed in 2019). Blueprints drop after matches and can be crafted into an item using Credits, traded, or traded up.

Item	Description	How to Obtain	Use
Blueprint	A blueprint shows a specific item (e.g., Titanium White Octane: Dune Racer). To craft it, you must pay Credits (varied by rarity and item).	Random post-match drop. Also from Rocket Pass free track.	Either craft with Credits, trade to other players, or trade up 5 blueprints of same series/rarity for a higher rarity.
Blueprint Series	Blueprints belong to series (e.g., Revival Series, Momentum Series). All blueprints in a series share a themed item pool.	As above.	Series affects trade-up outcomes. Some series are retired (e.g., Champion Series) and cannot be obtained anymore. Their blueprints are still craftable.

Note: Items crafted from blueprints are tradable, while items dropped directly (like from Rocket Pass) are tradable only after a few days.

Car Bodies

Car bodies are the chassis of your vehicle. They affect hitbox type (Octane, Dominus, Breakout, Hybrid, Merc, etc.) but the visual shape is cosmetic within the hitbox category. All cars of the same hitbox behave identically.

Rarity	Example Bodies	Hitbox	How to Obtain	Notes
Common	Octane, Breakout, Merc, Venom, Paladin, etc.	Various	All players start with several. More unlock via ranked play? Actually, all common bodies are available from the start except some legacy items.	In free to play, new players receive Octane, Breakout, Merc, etc. instantly.
Import	Dominus GT, Takumi RX-T, Road Hog XL, Mantis, Werewolf, Diestro, etc.	Octane/Dominus/etc.	Blueprint crafting, trading, Item Shop, Rocket Pass.	Often have unique animations (e.g., engine sounds). Some are from previous Rocket Passes.
Exotic	None? Actually exotic are wheels. Bodies go import or black market? No, bodies max at import.	-	-	No exotic or black market car bodies exist.
Limited/Seasonal	Rocket Pass car bodies (e.g., Guardian GXT, Maverick GXT, Artemis GXT, Ronin GXT, Chikara GXT, etc.)	Octane/Dominus/Hybrid	Rocket Pass tiers (Premium only typically).	These are often customizable with interchangeable parts (e.g., Guardian GXT has three unique versions per body). Can be painted.
Legacy	Sweet Tooth, Armadillo, Hogsticker, McLaren 570S, etc.	Unique hitboxes	Platform exclusives or DLC (now retired).	Sweet Tooth (PlayStation), Armadillo (Xbox), Hogsticker (Switch). Not obtainable anymore if missed.

Synergy: No synergy, but players choose a body based on hitbox familiarity. Professional players often use Octane or Dominus.

Decals

Decals are paint jobs for your car. They range from simple stripes to animated patterns. Some decals are universal, others are car-specific.

Rarity	Examples	How to Obtain	Notes
Common	Various for each car (e.g., Retro Stripe, Dash)	Default with car body.	Cannot be traded or painted.
Rare	Most animated decals? No, rare decals are non-animated (e.g., Pollinator, Jetz, etc.)	Post-match drops, Rocket Pass, blueprints.	Can have painted variants.
Very Rare	Animated decals (e.g., Snakeskin, Distortion, Dot Matrix)	Trade-ups, drops, blueprints.	Often have bright colors or moving patterns.
Import	Decals that come with import bodies (e.g., Octane MG-88, Dominus Afterlife, etc.)	Blueprint, trading.	Some are bundled with bodies.
Exotic	Some decals like Tora (animated)	Blueprint, trading.	Tora is an animated decal, categorized as exotic? Actually Tora is classified as Exotic? In-game it shows Exotic.
Black Market	High-end animated decals (e.g., Heatwave, 20XX, Mainframe, Dissolver, Trigon, etc.)	Blueprint (very rare), trading, Item Shop.	Most expensive decals. Often change color based on primary and accent. Some have special effects (e.g., Bubbly has a water effect).
Limited	Event or Rocket Pass decals (e.g., Rocket League Esports decals, “Rival” series, “SF Giants” etc.)	Events, Esports shop, Rocket Pass, Fan Rewards.	Often themed. Some are exclusive to specific tournaments or collaborations (e.g., Monstercat, Hot Wheels).

Use: Decals are purely cosmetic. Some players collect all black market decals. The decal slot allows for paint finish and accent color customization.

---

Wheels

Wheels are another major cosmetic. They come in all rarities and often have unique animations.

Rarity	Examples	How to Obtain	Notes
Common	Standard wheels, Alloy, Tunicas, Rat Rods, etc.	Default or drops.	Many are obtainable through trading up.
Rare	Wheels like Invaders, Stern, Octavian, etc.	Drops, blueprints, trading.	Can be painted.
Very Rare	Spiralis, FSL, Gaiden, Reaper, Doughnut, etc.	Blueprints, trading, Rocket Pass.	Some have animated treads.
Import	Only one? Actually many: Zomba, Draco, Infinium, Hypnotik, etc.	Blueprint, trading, Item Shop.	Zomba and Draco are very popular. Painted versions (especially Titanium White) are highly sought after.
Exotic	Also many: Apex, Cristiano, Illuminata, Photon, Dynamo, etc.	Blueprint, traders, occasional drop.	Some were from limited events.
Black Market	Only a few? Actually wheels can be Black Market? Yes, like Exotic wheels are separate. Wheels go up to Exotic? No, wheels are Common, Rare, Very Rare, Import, Exotic. There is no Black Market wheel category; that's for decals, goal explosions, etc.	-	-
Limited	Rocket Pass wheels, Fan Reward wheels (e.g., Decennium), Event wheels (e.g., Hallowtide, Snowday)	Events, Rocket Pass, RLCS viewership rewards.	Often have special holiday themes. Some are seasonal and may return.

Synergy: Wheels do not affect handling. Color matching with decals or boost is purely aesthetic.

Boost

Boost trails that emit from the back of your car when accelerating or boosting. They have different animations and colors.

Rarity	Examples	How to Obtain	Notes
Common	Standard boost	Default.	No animation.
Rare	Boost like Flowers, Lightning Yellow, etc.	Drops, blueprints.	Simple particle effects.
Very Rare	Dark Matter, Hypernova, Proton, etc.	Blueprint, trading.	More complex animations.
Import	Only one? Actually many: Flamethrower, Ion, Thermal, etc.	Rare? Wait, these are Import? No, they are classified as Import? Actually boost rarities go up to Exotic? No, boost is Common, Rare, Very Rare, Import, Exotic. Example: Black Market does not apply to boost. Let's clarify: In the trade system, boost can be Common, Rare, Very Rare, Import, Exotic. Some popular import boosts include Standard (painted), Lightning (painted), Flamethrower, etc.	-
Exotic	I think there are some exotic boosts like some from Rocket Pass? Actually, boost max out at Import? I recall there are Exotic boosts like the “Kaleidoscope” from a previous pass? Better to check: In the current blueprint system, boost rarities are up to Import only. The highest is Import. Exotic is for wheels and decals? Let's correct: Boost goes up to Import. Same for toppers and antennas.	-	-
Limited	Seasonal boosts (e.g., Candy Corn, X-Mas Boost, etc.)	Events, Rocket Pass.	Often themed.

Note: Painted boosts exist (e.g., Titanium White Lightning). Some boosts have sound effects (e.g., Flamethrower crackles).

Trail

Trails appear behind your car when supersonic (max speed). They are mostly cosmetic and come in many styles.

Rarity	Examples	How to Obtain	Notes

Very Rare	Binary, Laser Wave, etc.	Blueprint, trading, Rocket Pass.	Some have segmented patterns.

Exotic	I think there are no exotic trails. Actually, trails max out at Import.	-	-
Limited	Event trails (e.g., Winter’s Fury, Hovercraft)	Events, Rocket Pass.	Often match event themes.

Note: Trails do not affect gameplay.

---

Goal Explosion

When a goal is scored, this animation plays. They are one of the rarest and most expensive item categories.

Rarity	Examples	How to Obtain	Notes
Common	Default goal explosion.	Default.	Minimal effect.
Rare	Uncommon? Actually, goal explosions start at Very Rare? No, they exist as Rare (e.g., “Fireworks” is Rare? Actually Fireworks is Import?) Let's check: The rarity of goal explosions: Very Rare (e.g., Butterflies, Ballistic), Import (e.g., Reaper, Vampire Bats), Exotic (e.g., Party Time, Toon, Hellfire), Black Market (e.g., Sub-Zero, Atomizer, Solar Flare, Poly Pop, etc.).	Blueprints, trading, Item Shop, Rocket Pass.	Black Market goal explosions are the most sought after. Some have interactive elements (e.g., Kaboom explodes with cartoons).
Limited	Seasonal goal explosions (e.g., Haunted Hallows goal explosion, Snow Day goal explosion)	Events, Rocket Pass.	Often limited-time availability.

Synergy: No gameplay effect. Use to show off after a goal.

Toppers

Hats that sit on top of your car. Purely cosmetic.

Rarity	Examples	How to Obtain	Notes

Rare	Halo, Stegosaurus, etc.	Drops, blueprints.	Some painted versions are popular (Titanium White Halo).
Very Rare	Many (e.g., Cherry Top, Rooster Comb)	Trade-ups, drops.	-
Import	Only a few (e.g., Crown Border is a banner, not topper). Actually I don’t think the topper category has Import rarity. Toppers go up to Very Rare? Check: In the game, toppers can be Common, Rare, Very Rare. No Import.	-	-
Limited	Event toppers (e.g., Pumpkin, Santa Hat, Top Hat)	Events, Rocket Pass.	Often seasonal.

Note: Toppers can be equipped on any car. No effect on gameplay.

Special Items: Tradeable vs. Account Bound

Tradeable: Most non-consumable items (not from Rocket Pass, not tournament rewards).

Account Bound: Rocket Pass items (locked to account until 3 days after acquisition? Actually they become tradeable after a few days). Tournament rewards are bound and cannot be traded.

Consumables: None. Blueprints are not consumable; they are items you can craft or trade.

Collectibles: Achievements / Trophies / Challenges

Achievements/Trophies: Unlocked by performing specific actions (e.g., score 100 goals, earn 10 wins in a season). They are account-linked and give no in-game items.

Challenges: Weekly and seasonal challenges. Rewards include XP, Battle Pass tokens (formerly), and sometimes items like decals or wheels.

Summary of Rarity Values

Tips for Obtaining Items

Play matches: Random drops (blueprints, common items) every few matches.

Rocket Pass: Premium track provides many items each season (bodies, wheels, decals, etc.).

Item Shop: Rotating daily offers; sometimes limited items appear.

Blueprint crafting: Use Credits to craft specific items.

Trade: Use trading platforms (RL Garage, Reddit, Discord) to buy/sell items.

RLCS Fan Rewards: Watch official Rocket League Championship Series streams on Twitch with linked account to get drops (limited decals, wheels).

Tournaments: Earn Tournament Credits to redeem unique item sets.

Events: Seasonal events (e.g., Haunted Hallows, Frosty Fest) offer event currency to buy special items.

Important Warnings

Scams: Be cautious in trades. Use official trading methods only. Never trade items for real money (against ToS).

Item duplicating/cheats: Not possible. Any site claiming to give free credits or items is a scam.

Painted items: Most items have painted variants. They are more or less valuable based on color. Titanium White is generally the most sought after.
