How to get free items in Rocket League
Rocket League is one of those online video games that have made in-game elements their fortune. In fact, in the course of the last generations of consoles, the videogame world has been “overwhelmed” by a new trend: that of aesthetic objects, or skins and the like, which can be conquered or purchased with real money to embellish your character, or vehicle. .
Epic Games has shown that it knows how to do it in this: just see the success of Fortnite. It does not therefore seem to be a coincidence that the title of Psyonix also ended up under the protective wing of the well-known software house. In any case, aesthetic elements are often associated with micro-transactions, but in reality it is not always necessary to shell out real money to get them. For this reason, since you are reading this guide and your interest is to find out how to get free items on Rocket League , know that this is absolutely feasible.
The methods to do this are certainly not lacking, and in this tutorial I will analyze all the mechanics proposed in this regard by the game. I can assure you that the guide can be completed in no time: just follow the quick instructions below. There is nothing left for me to do, except wish you good reading and have fun!

Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to get free items on Rocket League , I think it may interest you to know more about this game mechanic.
Well, you must know that within the Psyonix title it is possible to obtain various aesthetic elements . A few of the most popular examples: by unlocking a certain object, in the space allowed at the end of the game, it is possible to let money flow out of the rear exhaust of the car .
There are also hats to be placed on top of the car, for example to “celebrate” a birthday, glasses and customized wheels of various types. This just to give you some concrete examples, but clearly I only skimmed the surface of the elements present.
In any case, just open the game, first press the GARAGE button and then the INVENTORY MANAGEMENT button to find all the objects already at your disposal: as you can see, the categories are many.
The objects have no real impact on the gameplay – they are simply cosmetic elements, which allow you to customize your car. I remind you that in Rocket League there is essentially a single car, which can be modified, for example, by means of bodywork .
Some users claim that some of the latter change certain “statistics”, but in reality this is not made explicit by Rocket League. In any case, I can assure you that these elements do not upset the game, especially if you are not a Pro Player .
In short, within the title of Psyonix it is possible to obtain useful elements to change the “look” of your car . In this context, you will surely have noticed that some elements, for example the projects to have the body shops, may require the use of credits , or to go through micro-transactions.
However, you should know that in reality many items can be had without shelling out a penny of real money. How? I am going to explain everything to you in the course of this tutorial.
How to get free stuff on Rocket League
Now that you know the situation in general, I’d say it’s time to take action and find out what the methods are for getting free items in Rocket League .
Rocket Pass
The main way to get free items is to go for the free version of the Rocket Pass .
As you can guess from the name, this is a system similar to the one that has become particularly popular over the years due to games like Fortnite .
Put simply, the Psyonix title features so-called Seasons . Each Season has a limited duration , usually a few months, and allows you to get rewards whenever the player’s account levels up . As often happens in this type of video game, Rocket League has both a paid Pass , which allows you to get a large number of rewards, and a free Pass , which instead offers free items only occasionally.
To be clear, if the paid Pass gives an item for each level reached, the free Pass provides rewards, for example, every 3 levels. However, the frequency with which free items are “given away” is not actually fixed, as you may not receive rewards for a while and then get “more than expected” at some point.
To see what rewards are active when you are following this tutorial, just go to the main menu of the game and press the ROCKET PASS button . You will then be able to see all the rewards offered by the current Season .
The top row refers to Premium rewards, or the paid Pass, while the bottom one refers to items that can be obtained for free as you level up within the game.
It is difficult for me to go into detail about the rewards offered in this way by the Rocket Pass, as obviously the situation is constantly changing . However, the free Pass generally gives away both certain cosmetic items related to the current Season and finds .
In case you didn’t know, the latter are nothing more than “chests” that contain objects of various rarity inside them . To find out more, once you have obtained a find, I advise you not to open it immediately and instead go to the GARAGE> INVENTORY MANAGEMENT section of the game.
In fact, by going to the tab dedicated to the finds and selecting one of the latter, on the right you will be able to see what rarity the objects present in the drop may be . In this way, you will be able to fully understand which colors are used by the game.
However, item rarity can typically be Common , Uncommon , Rare , Very Rare , Import , Exotic , Limited , Premium, or Black Market . In short, as often happens in video games of this type, the elements obtainable in-game can have a certain type of rarity.
In any case, if you have doubts about this possibility, I suggest you refer to my tutorial on how to open the finds on Rocket League , in which I have further explored the topic.
Matches, challenges and exchanges
An interesting possibility offered by Rocket League is that of obtaining free items simply by completing matches and challenges .
In fact, sometimes the Psyonix title offers free items, which can go beyond those offered by the Rocket Pass , simply at the end of a game . For example, projects are sometimes provided this way.
In any case, obviously it is not enough just to play to get as many rewards as possible, since it is possible to try to “earn” further finds , or the “chests” that contain objects, by completing the challenges proposed by the game.
There are two types of challenges available: weekly and seasonal . To see what are the “missions” proposed by the game currently, just press the VIEW CHALLENGES button , present in the main screen of the game.
After that, you will have the CHALLENGES and SEASON tabs available . In the first screen you can see which are the “missions” related to this week . There are both free and premium challenges – you obviously aim for the former if you want to get items for free.
In any case, the challenges, which often also guarantee finds (in addition to experience), can also be very simple. For example, you may be prompted to use quick chat to say “What a game!” or “What a parade!” in an online game. In short, I advise you to always keep an eye on this section.
As for the seasonal challenges , however, the latter often require a little more effort. For example, you may be required to perform 35 epic saves or parries in online matches. However, obviously in this case you will have more time to complete the “missions”.
For the rest, another method that can allow you to get items for free is the exchange mechanic . To be clear, you can “discard” 5 elements of the same rarity that you do not need to get a new item of the same rarity .
There is also the possibility of trading online , but in this case it is always a lottery. In any case, if you are interested in this possibility, I recommend that you refer to my tutorial on how to trade on Rocket League , in which I have illustrated the situation well.
Promotional initiatives
How do you say? Have you heard that at certain times you can get free items in Rocket League in other ways as well? They did not lie to you: I will explain the situation to you immediately!
Well, the title of Psyonix is obviously constantly evolving , also given the mechanics of the Seasons . For this reason, it is not uncommon, also given the popularity obtained by the video game, that promotional initiatives are launched that allow you to get free items on Rocket League.
To give you a concrete example, as you can see on the official website of the game , in the past free rewards have been given to those who had Prime Gaming , linked to the subscription to Amazon Prime .
Obviously, the possibilities of this type remain active only for a certain period , so it is difficult for me to provide you with concrete indications regarding any promotional initiatives currently available.
However, if you want some advice, you would do well to keep an eye on the news page of the official Rocket League portal . In fact, developers always use the latter to communicate news related to the game .
For the rest, since you usually play the Psyonix title, I would recommend that you take a look at the page of my site dedicated to Rocket League . In fact, in the latter you can find other tutorials related to this video game, which could also contain interesting ideas for your sessions.
