Rocket League has been one of the top multiplayer games since 2015, and for good reason. Whether gamers play this for quick matchmaking, fast-paced competitive gameplay, or fun rewards and customizations, it has a lot going for it. It is fair to assume that developer Psyonix has mastered the formula that they started with Rocket League's spiritual predecessor, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars.
Rocket Leauge offers many creative ways to for players to customize their battle cars. Gamers can use hundreds of decals to express their style and experience with the game. Among the plethora of choices for these decals, the following are some of the best.
Updated August 3, 2022 by Stephen LaGioia: Psyonix's frenzied driving sports romp has remained a competitive force, thanks to its robust multiplayer options and super-fun gameplay. Of course, it helps that the developer continues to churn out new collectibles, cars, and cosmetics, along with a rotating set of events and new features like the newbie-friendly Mutator Madness.
July 2022 alone has seen the release of James Bond's sleek Aston Martin and a couple WWE-themed decals. As such, it seemed like a good idea to revisit and rev up this list with more of the best car decals players can flash.
Decals marked as common will be unlocked upon acquiring the specific Body tailored to it.
Going Decal-less
Starting things with a twist, this one might be the most deadly look in Rocket League: no decals. This one is for the ones who are extremely skilled at the game and breathe air dribbles. Imagine going in without a paint job, just a regular orange or blue color, and dominating every opponent.
There's nothing more intimidating and flashy than not caring about the looks at all, letting the gameplay do the talking. Only the most intimidatingly talented players can pull this one off.
15 Slurpee
As part of a unique 7-11 promo, players who purchased items at that convenient store were granted a Rocket League code, which could be redeemed for this highly 'fluid' decal. Vibrant, colorful, and detailed in its free-flowing animation, this is just a fun one to look at—even if it resembles a lava lamp more than 7-11's iconic slushy drink.
As a neat little bonus, the car actually releases small drips when zipping through the arena long enough. Customize the car with some harsh, contrasting colors to really make this one stand out.
14 WWE Roman Reigns
Rocket League has had its share of promos and crossovers during its long history; one of which comes in the form of some WWE-branded cosmetics. Along with the prominent John Cena, the game now features a particularly sleek decal themed after pro wrestling champ Roman Reigns.
The wrestler's iconography just makes for some cool imagery to affix to one's car. The Spiderman-esque "RR" logo and one of Reigns' nicknames, "head of the table," are boldly painted on the Octane, making for some cool, intimidating visuals.
13 Torrent
Being a favorite among esports and competitive gamers, it's no surprise that there are several unique decals adorned by various Rocket League teams. One of the prettiest has to come from esports organization Torrent (formerly alpine Esports).
The North American team flashes their gaming skills in style with their simple-yet-appealing logo design. The black and neon scheme, wrought with flashy streaks, fits the sleek, boxy Dominus cars like a glove. The 'away' kit just might be even more appealing, as it reverses the colors, boldly putting the neon green front and center.
12 Chameleon
Initially part of the Victory Blueprint in late 2019, this illusive decal has become very rare since, which is unfortunate given its stunning 3D detail and awesome appearance. With its shiny finish and splotchy, busy design, the Chameleon is one of those decals that just looks great with most color schemes—though shades of green would probably be most fitting.
Those seeking it will have to hope for ample luck, as there's a mere 1% chance of landing one inside a crate. However, in staying true to its name, this is a universal decal, so it can be affixed to any car.
11 Gold
No matter what season it is, the gold decals always stand out. The color gold is pretty unique in itself, as it is not present in the game's color palettes. Using a combination of yellow and a good finish will never make it look truly golden, which is why the gold decal stands out so much. Moreover, it's a great way to look completely different from everyone else, using green, blues, or reds.
One downside of gold is that it sometimes becomes confusing if the player belongs to the blue team or the orange one. But if the player can manage to overcome that, this decal is epic. After all, who doesn't like the bling? Players involved in the Competitive playlists during Season 12 were able to score this one as a season-ending reward.
10 Flames
The Flames may be a generic design from a perspective that's looking for something different. But it is a classic, and always rocks on muscle cars. Using this common decal might not garner much attention, but it will surely make one look like a supersonic acrobatic hotshot.
Flames is the kind of vintage design that people would find on a destruction derby car or something from a stunt race vehicle —in other words, it's perfect for Rocket League. Unlike gold, players can opt for multiple color combinations in Flames and make it look cool, with red-yellow being the most authentic.
9 Fire God
Taking the already cool, fiery design of Flames and turning up the heat, the Fire God is a rare decal that's worth seeking, with its fluid, dynamic design that's hypnotically alluring. This one is universal, which makes sense as it makes almost any car look awesome and intimidating. The godly decal is sure to draw attention with its luminous nature, and can help players catch fire during a heated battle.
Now a Black Market item, the Fire God was once a find within the Impact and Zephyr Series Blueprints.
8 Stripes
A fast-paced muscle car with stripes is one of the most common styles in the world of racing. Thus, the Stripes from Rocket Leauge go brilliantly with vehicles such as Dominus. It is like a match made in heaven, and truly has a minimal yet classy look.
By using this common decal, players are sure to feel like Dominic Toretto from the Fast & Furious franchise. However, that shouldn't be an excuse for demo-ing everyone in the match. The Stripes also go well with Octane, so go on and experiment and build the perfect custom style.
7 Spatiotemporal
Blazing, colorful, and animated: These are the three words that describe Spatiotemporal. This limited animated decal can be extremely eye-catching during games. The best part about this is the animation speed and the unique color combinations that players can create.
This decal goes well with neon or glowing wheels, and looks especially cool with flashy trails. The one downside is that Spatiotemporal can be a little distracting during critical moments in normal games. However, it is a great one to use during competitive Rumble or Hoops. This one was only obtainable (for the moment) by reaching Tier 22 during Season 2.
6 Unzipped
The biggest problem with Black Market decals is that they are highly inconsistent in quality. Some look unconditionally stunning, while others are just underwhelming. Unzipped is somewhere in-between, which is what makes it look so good. The smooth unzipping animation seems good on multiple vehicles, especially due to fully customizable colors.
Another great thing about Unzipped is that it's a black market item and not many people are using it, meaning it's pretty unique and stands out. The Breakout specifically looks super cool with this decal and can look even better with appropriate wheels, trails, and boost. Unzipped makes for an extremely rare find, as it holds just a 1% chance of being in a crate. It was also a Season 4 Tournament reward.
5 Huntress
The Huntress is a unique one, and hard to describe. Think of it as a psychedelic, holographic 3D futuristic wireframe of some sort. Huntress covers the vehicle with bright stripes that look like they have inner depth, making the car look like a sci-fi automobile from the movie Tron.
Huntress is one of the most unique and visually aesthetic-looking decals in the Rocket League. It's perfect for people who want minimal customization, and yet want to look distinct everyone else. Moreover, this decal is not a distracting one, which is another plus. This sleek, hypnotic decal was obtainable in Rocket Pass 2, (Tier 64), but can also be had through trade.
4 Goop
Goop is one of the best-animated decals in Rocket League. Its smooth looping animation looks completely dynamic, even though it isn't. It's one flashy decal, but certainly, a well-made one.
The liquid continuously dripping to the rear of the car is done so perfectly that it's hard not to think of this decal as a Black Market item. Luckily, this one is a Very Rare animated decal, and can be acquired from blue Rocket League drops. Goop looks the best with other animated accessories, trails, and wheels. This goopey decal can be had be downloaded as part of Playstation Plus Pack content.
3 Snowstorm
Snowstorm is a Limited decal with a hypnotic snowflake animation that loops perfectly. The finish is high, and it has color modifying options as well. Snowstorm is perfect for winters, and players can be very creative with this one by making it look either festive for Christmas, or downright chilling.
It is one of the better-animated decals in the game. However, there is a downside to Snowstorm: it doesn't look too intimidating. Snowstorm was one of the winter-themed cosmetics available via the 2018 Frosty Fest event.
2 Interstellar
Interstellar is for players who love space and want to take their Rocket League experience to a spiritual level. While no quantity of astronomy will help the players win the matches, this decal is sure to get some eyes on the vehicle.
It's another one of the better-animated decals in Rocket League and makes the car look completely different. Similar to gold, though, this one also has the same downside. Sometimes it can be confusing which team the decal's user is playing for, especially during the set of rapid games back to back. Part of the Momentum Series Blueprint of 2020, this is now a Black Market item, which holds a very limited chance of being unearthed in crates.
1 Filiformer
This one checks all the boxes as one of the best Rocket League decals. It is cool, intimidating, animated, simple, and minimal, making the car look eye-catching but not gaudy.
Most impressively, the decal's animation matches the beat of the song that the player is listening to, amplifying the whole experience with audio-visual synergy. It is truly one of the all-around best decals in the game. This one was a fan favorite dating back to Season 2, where it was rewarded to diehard players reaching Tier 61 for that Rocket Pass.
