Cars in Rocket League

When you start the game up for the first time you will be taken to the main menu where you can choose to play the game, whether it be online with friends or random people, or just yourself. There are other options given there like training, which is very helpful for a player that is just starting because it shows you how to maneuver your car with ease. In my opinion though the most important option that you have in the main menu is the one that says “Garage.” Why is this the most important one? This is the most important one because it is in the “Garage” where you have the ability to customize your own car, make it look exactly how you want it. You don’t want to be just another basic person which a normal looking car playing the game, no you want your car to stand out from the others.

Now, there are so many cars that are provided in the game that maybe you don’t know which one is the car the suits you best. Well I’m going to explain 3 cars that are in the game and how those cars might fit your playstyle.

The car the everyone starts off with at the very beginning of the game is called Octane. The Octane car is the most balanced and basic looking car in the game. This car is compact, fast, and very easy to use around the field when playing the game. The Octane is also one of the taller cars in the game, giving you an advantage when the opponent has hit the ball over your car. That height also helps for when your car is on the wall and the ball is heading your way, thus not making you have to jump off the wall to hit the ball instead you stay there and still hit the ball. If you are going to be the type of player that is going to be careful and not wanting to make many mistakes, not try to hit the ball very hard then the Octane is the car for you.

There is also another car that a lot of players use and it is also a personal favorite called Dominus. The Dominus is the widest and longest car in the game. It helps so much for anything in the game whether it’s for defending, as it covers a lot of the goal, or attacking since you will reach the ball before anyone. This car is for players that like to always be in on the action and being close to the ball to pressure opposing players. Since the Dominus is very rectangular it has a lot of edges which helps so much when hitting the ball. That is because when the ball makes contact which the edges of the Dominus it will be hit at a tremendous speed. If you want to be the player that wants to reach the ball fist and hit very hard then the Dominus is the perfect car for you. Opposing players will think twice when they see that a Dominus is going for the ball.

If you can’t choose between the Octane or Dominus because you like them both so much then there is a car that will suit you well. The car body called Fennec is a hybrid between Octane and Dominus meaning that it’s as if both cars were put together and came to an agreement of how wide and long the car would be. The Fennec has the sharp edges that the Dominus has so if you like power hitting you are still definitely able to do it. It also has a very tall roof so if you liked how tall the octane was then this car helps you with that as well. This car is for people that don’t want to be too aggressive when they play, but also don’t want to be too passive. There has been a huge increase of people using this car because they like both the Octane and Dominus but just can’t pick one. If you want a perfect balance between the Dominus and Octane then the Fennec is the best car for you.
