Summer has now officially started in Rocket League as a brand new car is available for free. With the removal of trading from Rocket League, this new feature stands out as the next best thing. Some of the rarest redeem codes are now purchasable within the game.
The Corvette is not being offered through the item shop, which is a surprising move. In the challenge section, there is a lot to discover with the start of the summer road trip event, which ends in 30 days.
How to Unlock the Free Corvette
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Go to the challenge section in Rocket League. |
| 2 | Participate in the summer road trip event, which has 30 days remaining. |
| 3 | Complete all the listed challenges to earn free items. |
| 4 | Wait for the extra challenges to unlock in about a week, which will grant access to the free Corvette. |
| 5 | Equip certain items, such as the Corvette wheels, to complete specific requirements for the Corvette reward. |
| 6 | Claim all rewards and enjoy the new car once available. |
Completing these challenges grants 5,000 XP and various items. Although the XP may seem appealing, it is not a significant amount in the game. Additional tasks include earning saves to unlock the Corvette wheels, which must be equipped to progress towards obtaining the car.
All rewards are free and easy to achieve. The Corvette wheels have a clean design, especially if they are blacked out, although they are not completely dark, which may be a minor disappointment for some.
A free bundle is also available in the shop, which includes a battle bus. Players who already own the battle bus will receive free decals, all themed around Fortnite. These items are granted automatically and are completely free to all players.
