New for this season:
WELCOME TO THE WASTELAND
A ferocious sandstorm recently moved over the Island, creating a new biome in the south dubbed the wasteland. The "Wasteland Warriors" have already called shotgun on owning the place. (They did ride in with the sandstorm, after all.) This crew moves as fast as their decked-out cars, proven by the places they've already established:
REDLINE RIG
Redline Rig is a Nitro refinery run by The Machinist, the Wasteland Warriors' master mechanic. What's Nitro? Whether you're in a car or not, Nitro will make you feel irrepressibly powerful…
NITRODROME
Nobody knows chaos and destruction more than Ringmaster Scarr, so it makes sense she's the master of ceremonies at the circus of car spectacle: the Nitrodrome.
BRUTAL BEACHHEAD
Brutal Beachhead is the base of operations for the Wasteland Warriors. Here, you can find none other than the Wasteland Warriors' master muscle Megalo Don. Be warned: it doesn't take long for his rage to surface.
There's more to discover in the wasteland, including a Snooty Steppes turned Sandy Steppes.
GO NITRO
Across the Island you may find Nitro Splash or Nitro Barrels — both shipped from Redline Rig. Nitro Splash is a portable Nitro container you can throw down to infuse your car (or yourself) with Nitro. Nitro Barrels are Nitro containers that Nitro-fy on contact. Propelled by the steam inside, Nitro Barrels will fly off when you hit them… then explode on landing. Drive away without looking back!
Nitro's nitro typical perk. In this temporary state, expect the following advantages:
NITRO-FIED CAR
Driving speed increase
Explosive ramming power that deals damage and knockback (must be driving at a sufficient speed)
Fuel consumption decrease
Buff to attached attack mods
NITRO-FIED PLAYER
Movement speed increase
Explosive bashing power that deals damage and knockback… Bust through builds! (must be moving at a sufficient speed)
Stamina consumption decrease (Sprint longer!)
Reload speed increase
Fall damage immunity
PACK A PUNCH WITH NITRO FISTS
When you're ready for the heavy-handed approach, put on Nitro Fists to perform a 3x punch combo, uppercut, or an aerial punch that dashes you through the air! Nitro Fists have four charges, each one recharging every eight seconds. The uppercut and aerial punch use one charge, while the 3x punch combo uses none. If you aerial punch the ground instead of the air, the impact will be meteoric to surrounding enemies.
FORTIFY YOUR RIDE
Vehicle mods are back!
Cow Catchers and Chonkers Off-Road Tires are unvaulted, while four new mods are joining the ride.
Attach one of these mods per slot:
Machine Gun Turret (roof slot): Have a passenger fire a machine gun while someone else drives!
Grenade Launcher Turret (roof slot): Some would call this littering, but the Grenades will get rid of themselves by exploding.
Spiked Bumper (front bumper slot): Deal more damage to players and objects on impact.
Cow Catcher (front bumper slot): Boost your ramming power and give your car some defensive armor.
Bulletproof Tires (tires slot): Tired of tire poppers? Make your tires indestructible!
Chonkers Off-Road Tires (tires slot): Make your car more off-road friendly. Especially useful if you're not driving an SUV!
No mechanical experience is required — just hit a Vehicle Mod Box with your car to attach the mod. You'll know which mod you're attaching based on the symbol on the box! Already have something in a slot? You can replace the mod with a different one, or a brand new version of the existing one! You may want to replace a mod if its Health bar is getting low. (Note: the Bulletproof Tires don't have Health, since they're indestructible.) Is the Health of your car itself low? Hit a Repair Box or take matters into your own hands with the unvaulted Repair Torch! A Repair Torch can also fix a popped tire or broken window. Get a taste of the future on your next pit stop. Service Stations have replaced gas pumps, refilling your car's gas and Health while parked on the station pad!
FURBISH YOUR RIDE
Starting in Chapter 5 Season 1, you've been able to turn Sports Cars on the Island into your equipped Car. Now, you can do the same with SUVs! There will be certain Car Bodies in the Shop compatible with SUVs instead of Sports Cars. Also, select SUV Car Bodies from Rocket League will become cross-game eligible in the future.
LOSE THE BATTLE BUS, WIN THE WAR BUS
After being dropped from the Battle Bus, fight for control of a coveted War Bus. There are two being driven by patrollers on the Island — hijack one and start a road trip of disarray! Each War Bus comes rigged with two cannons on top and a horn that produces an EMP pulse. (EMP does damage to nearby enemy Shields, and temporarily disables surrounding vehicles.) These monster mobiles hold multiple EMP pulses that each recharge after a short time!
CREATE A ROADBLOCK WITH A BOOM BOLT
Cars aren't unconquerable. When you're in a jam (traffic or otherwise), break out a Boom Bolt, a fast-firing moddable crossbow that shoots explosive bolts. After a few good hits on a Whiplash, it'll be totalled enough to cause a traffic back-up all the way from Reckless Railways to The Underworld (if people actually wanted to spend time in the abyss willingly).
