Garage | Types of moves Rocket League Guide

One of the tabs of the garage menu

The garage is surprisingly one of the least important elements of Rocket League. The choice of a car and its equipment doesn't affect the gameplay IN ANY WAY. All the vehicles in the game handle identically, they have the same top speed and durability. This means that the only reason to change cars and their equipment is to stand out from other players. Another important thing to know is that most cars and objects tied to them are inaccessible when you first start the game. Thankfully unlocking them is very easy, because all you have to do is complete enough matches. Furthermore, the game doesn't care if you've won in a match or lost it. The only thing that counts is that it's finished.

The available tabs in the garage menu are:

• Body - There are eleven vehicles in the game. Sweet Tooth is a unique car, because you can't gain access to it simply by completing enough matches. Instead you can get your hands on it by winning at least one match with a few other cars. You can learn more info on that topic in the Achievements / Trophies chapter of our guide - read the Battle-Car Collector achievement description.
• Decals
• Paint - It's worth mentioning that the main color has to be a shade of blue or orange, because those are the colors of the teams participating in matches (with the exception of the Season mode). You've got a free choice of a secondary color and of a type of paint (metallic, matte, etc).
• Wheels
• Rocket Trail - The trail appears when you're using rocket boost. You can consider choosing more unique trails like a rainbow, bubbles or snowflakes. There's a chance that they will annoy players from the other team and even make it a little harder for them to focus. Be careful, though, because the same thing can affect your teammates.
• Topper - They're objects placed on the roof of your car.
• Antenna - You only have access to country flags at the beginning of the game. The rest needs to be unlocked.
