Knockout Bash: Rocket League's Demolition Derby for the Disgruntled Teammate
So you're tired of carrying your team in Soccar, tired of watching them whiff easy goals while you rain down aerial assaults like a rocket-powered Thor? Well, fret no more, my friend, because Knockout Bash is here to unleash your inner demolition derby champion!
This isn't your momma's Rocket League. Forget teamwork, forget fancy footwork (well, maybe not entirely), this is a free-for-all brawl where only one buggy boi can reign supreme. Here's the lowdown on how to survive and thrive in the glorious chaos that is Knockout Bash:
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.

The Gist: Don't Get KO'd
Seems simple, right? Well, it's not all sunshine and boost pads. You've only got three lives, and with seven other lunatics gunning for you, that can disappear faster than a boost puddle on a hot server. The arena shrinks over time, so staying outside the ever-encroaching "safe zone" is a recipe for disaster (and a shiny new explosion). Oh, and there are also hazards scattered around the map like rogue pool noodles of doom, so watch your step!
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
Become a Master of Mayhem: Essential Moves
- Attack: This is where your inner demolition derby driver comes out. Boost up and slam into your opponents! The faster you go, the harder they fly. Just remember, it's a** rock-paper-scissors situation**.
- Block: Feeling defensive? Use a backflip to put up a shield and deflect incoming attacks. Just don't get too turtlish, or someone will grab you like a rogue tow truck.
- Grab: The move everyone loves to hate (or maybe hate to love?). Jump, hold the grab button, and then dodge to snag an opponent. You can then toss them into the abyss...or a hazard zone...you get the idea.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
Pro Tips from a Not-So-Pro
- Boost is your best friend: Use it for offense, defense, escaping the clutches of defeat...pretty much everything. But remember, it's a finite resource, so manage it wisely, young grasshopper.
- The Art of the Fake: Just like in Soccar, mind games are your weapon. Feint an attack, then grab, or block an incoming attack and then counter with your own. Bamboozle your opponents and they'll be singing the blues faster than you can say "demolition derby."
- Don't be a Sitting Duck: Keep moving! Boost around the arena, stay unpredictable, and make yourself a difficult target. A stationary car is a totaled car in Knockout Bash.
Bonus Tip: If you see two players locked in an epic grab-counter-grab battle, take this as your golden opportunity to swoop in and steal the knockout!
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
