Opening drops is the best way for players to earn free items in Rocket League. However, newer players might not know how to obtain or open these drops. Let’s take a look at how we can open drops and how to get drops in Rocket League.

Types of Drops

There are four main types of drops in Rocket League. These are:

Sport Drop
Special Drop
Deluxe Drop
Import Drop

How to get drops

You can always put some cash in to buy Rocket League credits and raid the Item Store. But, if you don’t want to spend anything and still get some free loot, you can do that with Drops.

There are two main ways that you can earn drops in Rocket League. The first method is by completing challenges, both the seasonal and weekly challenges. You can earn one Special Drop every week by completing weekly challenges, and three Special Drops per stage of the Season challenges.

You can also earn an extra Special Drop, Deluxe Drop and Import Drop if you complete 22 Free Season challenges before the end of the season.

Completing challenges will also earn you XP which helps you progress through the Rocket Pass, which is the second method of how to earn drops in Rocket League. There are x8 Sport Drops, x4 Special Drops and x6 Deluxe Drops available on the free Rocket Pass if you make it all the way through before the end of the season.

There are also often extra drops available from challenges when there is an ongoing special event, and these will most likely be obtainable by playing or winning a certain amount of games.

How to Open Drops in Rocket League

If you have drops waiting for you in your inventory, what you need to do is:

Open Rocket League, and go to your garage from the main lobby menu.

Select Manage Inventory, and press R1 or click on the Rewards Items tab.

Here you will find all of the drops available to you that you have earned by playing the game and completing challenges. If you do not have any drops available, nothing will show in this tab.

Click on a drop to preview the possible rewards and then you can open it and reveal what is inside!

Remember though that drops are not tradable. However, once you open them, you can trade the items you received.
