What is the Best Car in Rocket League?
By Brian Gilmartin
What is the best car in Rocket League? With the endless amount of Battle Cars to choose from, players are wondering which car is the best in Rocket League. We've covered multiple cars that have been released through the Item Shop such as the Fennec, Nissan Skyline, and more. However, when it comes to performance with a car, we're looking at something very different.
Besides the cosmetics and decals that help build your car to your preferences, we also have to consider turn radius, hit box, and overall design. These factors make a difference when selecting a car because the more often you use it, the more comfortable you'll get with that car's design. You don't want a car with a funky frame or design, it'll have major impacts on game performance.
What is the Best Car in Rocket League?
While looking at cars, the best are typically those that have a reserved design, in which it looks like a typical car with a flat top, ensuring good control. Along with the flat top these cars will also have good turn radius, which is similar to sensitivity settings in FPS games. You need a higher sensitivity if you want to take your game to the next level, and a higher turn radius gives you more success as well. With that, these are our top 3 Battle Cars.
1. Octane
Although it's the default car, it's long been one of the most used, and best cars in the game. The turn radius, hit box, and overall control you get from the Octane is unmatched.
2. Dominus
The Dominus' is another car that gives you great control with the large front hood. Giving you more room to dribble or balance the ball for late game heroics.
3. Breakout
The Breakout is similar to the Dominus but with more of a turn radius with exposed wheels, and less control over dribbling because of the reduced hood size in comparison to the Dominus.
While these aren't the flashiest cars in Rocket League, they'll always get the job done. So don't always go looking too far for that perfect car. Sometimes the right car is right in front of you the whole time.
