CHANGES AND UPDATES Demolitions and Bumping

Based on player feedback, we are making some improvements to Bump and Demolition detection. It is important to note that even with these fixes, Bumps and Demos will never be perfect in online play due to latency. However, after testing these changes with a variety of prominent community members & esports players, we feel this is a positive change that will reduce inconsistencies.

The rules to trigger a Demolition are now as follows:

• Supersonic Check [UNCHANGED]
  
  • You are in the Supersonic State (trails visible/active on wheels)

It's hard to believe Rocket League is approaching its fifth birthday next month! With this major milestone on the horizon, we want to let our community know now that there's a lot to look forward to in the second half of 2020, including new and updated features coming to the game.

We're working on a big update to Rocket League later this summer, and while we're not quite ready to reveal everything coming to the game just yet, be on the lookout over the next few months. However, we are excited to announce that we'll be celebrating Rocket League's Fifth Anniversary with a two-week event starting at the end of this month with Limited Time Modes, and Rocket League- and Psyonix-themed items in the event store. These items and modes will be revealed in the next few weeks.

At last, the fan-favorite Limited Time Mode, Heatseeker, has returned for the final weekend of the Modes of May! And that's not all. 2XP Weekend will be live throughout the weekend too!

In case you missed it when it debuted in April, Heatseeker is a rapid 3v3 mode where the ball automatically seeks the net. Every time the ball is touched, or it hits the backboard, it increases speed, so be ready to send it back to your opponents. First to seven goals wins! You can find the Limited Time mode in the Play Online menu under the Heatseeker tab.

Heatseeker, along with all other Online Modes, will grant double the amount of base experience via the "+100% special event XP Bonus." This includes all Casual, Competitive, and Extra Mode Playlists.

Both Heatseeker and 2XP are live now and will last until Tuesday, May 26 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). Enjoy both before they're gone. Good luck and have fun!

Close out the Modes of May with an XP Boost! A 2XP Weekend will go live starting Thursday at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC), and will last an extra day through Memorial Day! 

It all starts at the same time Heatseeker, the fan-favorite Limited Time Mode, returns. Heatseeker, along with all other Online Modes, will grant double the amount of base experience via the "+100% special event XP Bonus." This includes all Casual, Competitive, and Extra Mode Playlists. 

Check out the official start and end times below, and enjoy Heatseeker and 2XP through the weekend!

Here comes the BOOM! Boomer Ball is live all weekend as part of Rocket League's Modes of May!

Popularized by the Rocket League community, Boomer Ball has fun with mutators and puts a high-flying, lightning-fast twist on 3v3 soccar. Boost amount is unlimited and is now 1.5x stronger than typical boost. That means it launches you farther and faster than the standard boost you're used to. The ball speed is set to super fast, bounciness is increased to super high, and ball physics are super light. Touch the ball and see just how far and fast you can launch it!

Enjoy Boomer Ball until Monday, May 18 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). Find it in the Boomer Ball tab in the Play Online menu. Check back next week when the Modes of May wraps up with Heatseeker! Have fun with Boomer Ball!
