Pimp My Ride: A Split-Screen Rocket League Guide for the Disorganized Duo
So, you and your partner-in-crime (or sibling you're tolerating today) have fired up Rocket League for some split-screen mayhem. You're ready to take on the world (or at least embarrass yourselves gloriously online). But hold on there, boost-happy buccaneer! Before you launch yourselves headfirst into the arena, there's a crucial step: making sure your car looks absolutely ridiculous.
Why Customize? Because #FashionGoals, Obviously
Let's face it, default cars are about as exciting as watching paint dry. Who wants to blend in with the crowd when you can be a dazzling disco ball on wheels, a majestic chrome unicorn, or a terrifying spikey monstrosity that screams "don't mess with me" (even if you whiff every shot)? Customization is the ultimate Rocket League power move. It's a way to say, "I may not be the most skilled player, but at least my car looks amazing failing spectacularly."
Split-Screen Shenanigans: A Guide for the Clueless
Now, you might be thinking, "Hold on a minute, how do I even customize my car in split-screen? Do I have to take turns hogging the screen?" Fear not, my fellow fashionistas! Split-screen customization is a surprisingly smooth ride (unlike your future aerial attempts, but that's a different story). Here's how to do it:
-
The Glorious Lobby: Make sure both you and your split-screen partner are chilling on the main menu. This means both controllers are connected and recognized by the game. You'll see both cars parked on the screen, ready to be pimped.
-
Press Start, Not Panic: Player 1 (the almighty one, for now), grab your controller and press that glorious "Start" button. This will bring up a menu for... you guessed it, Player 1! Don't worry, your partner in crime isn't left out.
-
Enter the Garage of Grandeur: Navigate the menu with your controller and select the ever-so-enticing "Garage" option. This is where the magic happens, folks.
-
Double the Trouble, Double the Fun: Once you enter the garage, surprise! You'll see not one, but two separate customization menus. One for your car, and one for your partner's. Now the real fun begins... the battle for the most outrageous car ever to grace the Rocket League arena.
Pro Tip: If your co-pilot is fashion-challenged (don't worry, it happens to the best of us), offer to help them out. After all, a team that looks good, loses together... gloriously!
But Wait, There's More! A Smidge of Customization Savvy
Now that you've unlocked the split-screen customization vault, here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- Decency is Overrated: There are decals, trails, and antenna that are unlockables or purchasables. Feel free to flaunt your fancy items, or go full-on wacky with the free stuff. The goal is to be memorable, not necessarily tasteful.
- Embrace the Mismatch: Don't feel pressured to have matching cars. Maybe you want to be a sleek Octane, while your partner rocks the monstrous monster truck. Variety is the spice of life, and split-screen Rocket League.
- Sync Up for Laughs: If you're feeling particularly goofy, try creating a theme for your cars. Matching colors, wacky antenna combos – the possibilities are endless. Just be prepared for uncontrollable laughter when you accidentally demo your perfectly coordinated teammate.
So there you have it! With this guide, you and your split-screen partner are well on your way to becoming Rocket League's most fashionably dysfunctional duo. Now get out there, show off your rides (and hopefully your skills), and remember: winning is good, but looking good while doing it? That's legendary.
