Get ready to hop in the Battle Bus because Llama-Rama is on the way! Rocket League's very first in-game event since the launch of free to play will be live this Saturday, September 26 at 3 p.m. PDT (10 p.m. UTC) through October 12.

Beginning with Llama-Rama, in-game events are going to be slightly different from what you may be used to. To unlock the items from the event, you'll need to complete Event Challenges. Each Event Challenge you complete will grant a specific Event Item once you claim it from the Challenges Menu. Complete them all to unlock Rocket League's newest car, the Battle Bus! Check out the items in the slideshow below!

We hope you enjoy Llama-Rama and all of its items on September 26. Get ready to assemble your squad and drop in. Good luck, and have fun!

Will there still be golden gifts? (eggs, lanterns, etc)

Similar. You can earn the new Drops from some of the Llama Rama challenges. These are the new kind we discussed in the pre-release blogs that are also earned from Rocket Pass and Weekly/Monthly Challenges.

There are four Drop challenges in all, totaling:

  • One Uncommon Drop
  • Two Rare Drops
  • One Very Rare Drop

These use the new, expanded pool for item drops, so they functionally contain what previous Golden Eggs did, just a wider pool (since it's all the old crates, etc., not just a subset)

The other benefit is that Rare & Very Rare Drops guarantee that rarity floor, so Rares always give Rare or above, Very Rares similar, and they have better odds at Import/Exotic/Black Market than Golden Eggs did. And these Trade Up, so one Very Rare Drop is worth 25 Uncommon Drops from a trade in perspective.

Will BMDs work on the Battle Bus?

Yes, but your color palette is limited to Blue and Red with no secondary color currently.

tl;dr no.

A golden gift by any other name is still a golden gift!
