There are tons of cosmetics in Rocket League for players to express themselves. Just like in any free-to-play title. However, in this guide, we’ll specifically focus on how to get goal explosions in Rocket League.
Being one of the most unique cosmetic types in Rocket League, goal explosions allow everyone on the field to know that it was you who scored that awesome goal!
Rocket League Item Shop
Rocket League features a daily Item Shop. If you ever played games such as Fortnite or Valorant, this system will be familiar to you. There are tons of cosmetics that rotate on a daily and weekly basis. Furthermore, there are also multiple bundles available at the same time that may include goal explosions. But you will have to buy the whole bundle.
Keep checking the store as frequently as you can to see if today is the day you get yourself a goal explosion. It may take some time but it is surely the easiest way to obtain a goal explosion you will actually enjoy using and knowing that your credits were well-spent.
Rocket Pass Rewards
Rocket Pass is a Battle Pass in Rocket League. Meaning there are 100 tiers to progress through by completing multiple challenges and unlocking all the rewards it has to offer. The pass costs 1000 credits which are $10, but you will earn enough credits once you reach tier 110 to get the next one for free.
Every Battle Pass has goal explosions on some tier, but it is always a premium tier so you will have to spend some money to buy the Pass itself. The good news is that the goal explosions are exclusive to that particular pass. As soon as it is gone and a new season begins, no one will ever be able to get their hands on it except if they trade with other players.
Trading with Other Players
Rocket League has a player trading system similar to how trading works on Steam with games like Dota 2 or CS:GO. You can find many people online wanting to trade or buy/sell cosmetic items for Rocket League including goal explosions. This method is great if you know exactly what you are looking for.
There is a dedicated subreddit r/RocketLeagueExchange or rl.exchange website dedicated to all about trading in Rocket League. Take a look at what others are offering or create a thread yourself to start looking for potential sellers of goal explosions. Note that any trading-related posts on the official r/RocketLeague subreddit are prohibited! Use Rocket League Exchange instead.
You can also try to look for trading communities on Discord or Twitter but know that you are doing this at your own risk. If you are unfamiliar with the principles of trading look for someone who can explain them. And if you are new to the Rocket League in general, we’d recommend using other ways to obtain goal explosions.
In-game Tournaments
Rocket League is a popular competitive title with a massive esports scene. And if you are a skilled player, there are in-game tournaments for you to partake in. There are scheduled tournaments every day that you can compete in and climb your way to the finals. As a reward, you will earn tournament credits.
Tournament credits can be spent on tournament cups. Look at these cups as loot boxes. You will spend a certain amount of credits and get a random item from the pool of rewards. All of the rewards are great and exclusive and include goal explosions as well. But you will need to rely on some luck to get it.
Twitch Prime and More
There are many other little ways to obtain goal explosions for free or almost free. If you are using Amazon Prime you automatically have Twitch Prime as well. Twitch Prime features lots of loot for different games including, an occasional Rocket League loot.
Look out for teasers and updates on Rocket League’s Twitter as it is the best place to find new promotions and limited-time offers like Twitch Drops or redeem codes.
