Wheels are extremely important in Rocket League: you need to be able to roll through the battle arena well, while also taking the style of your bodywork to the next level right away. After all, there’s nothing better than flexing in Rocket League not only with your rank, but also with your red hot super sports car.
Many associate the color black with their own emo phase in eighth grade, but really, you can’t go wrong with a black look and it usually looks classy too. That’s why today we’re showing you our top 5 best black wheels in Rocket League!
1. Infinium
While on some wheels at least the rims still shine in silver, on the Infinium tires in Rocket League everything is really black…. and we LOVE it! They’d even look really nice on mobile…. | © Psyonix
2. OEM
What can we say about the OEM wheels? Black just always looks classy and OEM pulls it off especially well! For a little more variety you can also use a different color of the tires, but this isn’t r/place and not everything has to be mega colorful… | © Psyonix
3. Macaw-51
Ara-51… not to be confused with Area 51, because the wheels in Rocket League are real and not some alien technology that doesn’t exist anyway! | © Psyonix
4. Quimby
Quimby are just mega solid all-purpose tires that you can bolt in any color to just about any vehicle in Rocket League. We especially like them on the Octane or Fennec, though…. | © Psyonix
5. Capacitor IV
Condenser IV (or Capacitor IV in English) is of course not a Roman emperor, but simply a stinkin’ normal wheel in Rocket League. Okay okay, stinkin’ normal might be selling it a little short, because the tires actually look decent on any body. | © Psyonix
Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies
Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.
Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.
Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.
Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.
The Rocket League ABC
In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.
50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.
Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.
Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.
Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.
Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.
Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.
Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.
Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.
ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.
Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
