My Breakdown Of The 10 Common Rocket League Cars

I swear I’ve spent nearly as much time customizing my cars as I have played in actual matches.

If you don’t know what "Rocket League" is, it’s a game where you control rocket-powered cars while playing variations of popular sports like soccer, hockey, or basketball. And yes, it is as fun as it sounds.

Originally being released in 2015 for Windows and PlayStation 4, it has since been ported onto Xbox One, macOS, Linux, and even the Nintendo Switch. Its accessibility between platforms is a testament to its success.

In my opinion, one of the best parts of the game is the ability to customize the cars you use with different paint jobs, decals, toppers (little hats your car can wear), and antenna. I swear I’ve spent nearly as much time customizing my cars as I have played in actual matches.

As far as cars go, there are three different classes: common, which are cars that can be unlocked from playing, imports, which can be gained from unlocking crates, and premium, which are only available from purchasing certain downloadable content.

Currently, between common, import, and premium (but excluding platform exclusives), there are 46 different car bodies you could unlock and open! Although unlocking all would be an extremely expensive endeavor.

While all the cars look different from each other, all have the same max speed. But according to the official Rocket League subreddit, their hitboxes are grouped in certain body types. These body types are Octane, Dominus, Plank, Breakout, and Hybrid. It takes a while to learn what kind of car you like the best. Personally, I prefer a Hybrid type car, specifically the ’99 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34.

There are currently 10 different common cars that you can unlock just by playing the game. Below order my favorites and list what body type said car belongs to:

10. Gizmo.

Octane.

9. Road Hog.

Octane.

8. Paladin.

Plank.

7. Backfire.

Octane.

6. Hotshot.

Dominus.

5. Breakout.

Breakout.

4. X-Devil.

Body type: Hybrid.

3. Venom.

Body type: Hybrid.

2. Octane

Body type: Octane.

1. Merc.

Body type: Octane.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
