If you're a Rocket League player, you probably already know about the recent free black market drops given out by Epic Games and Psyonix. However, did you know there’s a way to get up to five free Black Market drops? In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know to maximize your rewards and ensure you don't miss out on these awesome items.
Season 17 of Rocket League has been full of surprises - and some challenges - but Epic Games and Psyonix have decided to reward players for sticking it out. As a special treat, all players are being given three free drops: two Exotic Drops and one Black Market Drop. If you haven’t logged in recently, now’s the perfect time to claim these awesome rewards, including a chance at rare goal explosions and other high-tier items. Don't miss out - log in and see what you unlock!
Step 1: Log in to Claim Your Free Drops
With the launch of Season 17, Rocket League faced several issues, and to make up for it, Psyonix gifted every player the following:
1 Black Market Drop
2 Exotic Drops
If you haven’t logged into Rocket League recently, make sure to do so as soon as possible to claim these rewards from your in-game inventory.
What to Expect from the Drops:
Exotic Drops: These give you a chance to get high-tier items, such as wheels or decals.
Black Market Drops: These have the potential to reward premium Black Market items, including goal explosions, decals, or boosts.
Step 2: Multiply Your Rewards By Logging In on Multiple Platforms
Here’s the secret to getting up to five Black Market Drops: you can claim the rewards once per platform. That means if you have access to Rocket League on multiple platforms, you can log in on each one and claim the rewards again.
Platforms to Use:
Steam (PC)
Epic Games (PC)
PlayStation (PS4/PS5)
Xbox (Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S)
Nintendo Switch
How It Works:
Log in on your main platform (e.g., Epic Games on PC) to claim your first set of drops.
Log in to Rocket League on a different platform (e.g., PlayStation or Xbox) using the same Epic Games account.
Claim another set of rewards, including another Black Market Drop and two Exotic Drops.
Repeat this process for as many platforms as you have access to.
Note: If you’re using a friend’s console or device, make sure to log out after claiming the rewards.
Step 3: Open Your Drops
Once you’ve collected all your drops, it’s time to open them and see what you get! The excitement of opening these is half the fun. Here's a quick breakdown of what to expect:
Exotic Drops:
Odds: Around 80% chance of pulling an Exotic item.
Examples: Zombas, Centros, Reverberations, etc.
Black Market Drops:
Odds: Approximately 1 in 5 chance to get a Black Market item.
Examples: Decals like Spectre, Goal Explosions like Fireworks or Atomizer.
Step 4: Trade Up Excess Items
If you end up with duplicates or items you don’t like, you can use Rocket League’s Trade-Up System to convert lower-tier items into higher-tier rewards. For example:
Trade five Exotics to get a Black Market item.
Cross your fingers for something rare or painted in the process!
Check for Painted Items: Some Black Market Drops can reward painted versions of items, making them even more valuable.
Use Trade-Ins Wisely: Before trading up, make sure the items you’re sacrificing aren’t ones you might want to keep or use in the future.
Save Drops for Later: If new items are added to the drop pool in future updates, consider holding onto your drops until then for a chance at newer rewards.
Q: Can I get banned for claiming rewards on multiple platforms?
A: No. Psyonix allows you to claim rewards on every platform you log into with your Epic Games account. This is not an exploit—it’s a feature of the game.
Q: What happens if I don’t have access to multiple platforms?
A: If you only have access to one platform, you’ll still get the initial three free drops (1 Black Market, 2 Exotics). However, try asking friends or family if you can use their consoles or devices.
Q: What are the odds of getting a Black Market item?
A: From Exotic Drops, the odds are roughly 20%. Black Market Drops guarantee a Black Market item.
By following this guide, you can get up to five Black Market Drops and ten Exotic Drops if you take advantage of multiple platforms. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to score some of the rarest items in Rocket League!
