How to fly high? | Types of moves Rocket League Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Rocket flying with the help of the cars is by far the most advanced move and the hardest one to pull off and that's why this topic deserves a separate page in our guide. If you're interested in flying in Rocket League you will need to use the boost. It's always good to make sure that the boost bar is fully charged so that your flight won't end immediately after it's started. You must begin by performing a single or (a better idea) a double jump and then hold the boost button/key while you're still in the air. That's not all, because after you've begun your rocket flight you can control it in a limited way by tilting the left analogue stick up or down (or by using the correct movement keys) to change the direction of the flight.
If you want to improve your rocket flying skills then you should take interest in the Aerial tutorials, because they're all about hitting high flying balls using this ability. Don't worry if you manage to hit only a small number of balls, because that's part of the learning process. You have to spend a lot of time practising so that you'll have more control over your car and that you'll understand the physics of the game better which is needed to predict where the ball is going to go next.
As for the purpose of rocket flying, this move can be used for offensive and defensive actions. In both of these situations your main objective should be to get to the ball before other players manage to do that. Depending on the situation, this will allow you to send the ball towards enemy goal line or to clear the area around your goal from any danger.
Important - If you're interested in flying even higher you may consider experimenting with driving on the walls. You can bounce off the wall when you're close to the stadium's ceiling and then activate rocket flight.
