A New Map and Limited Time Items!

Update Notes for 2.1

The 2.1.0 patch brings with it some new limited time modes and items, a player profile with stats, and some quality of life updates as well.

Introducing: Ruined City!

Battle across the Ruined City, a long-lost ancient temple that provides plenty of fast paced action. Keep your eye in the sky for great views of a few familiar Crater locales.


During the All Crater’s Eve event, limited time items will be making an appearance as well; the Pumpkin Bomb and the Spiderweb Magnet. Be sure to drop in and enjoy the festivities and new content taking place in the Rocket Championship Tour!

New Feature: Profile & Stats

Players can now view their gameplay stats in the Front End UI by selecting their player portrait or tabbing to the Profile menu in the Friends/Party screen. There are a lot of interesting stats added including; Total Games Completed, Total Damage Dealt, Highest KO Streak, Total Knockouts, and more. Share high scores for the top Rocket Championship Tour bragging rights!

Limited Time Modes

Mega Rocket Mayhem

Battle your opponents over Mega Rockets, but with a twist...everyone deals increased impulse and takes reduced damage! You can stay in the Arena much longer in this mode, so get ready for an epic tug-of-war! IT’S MAYHEM!

Blast Ball

In Blast Ball, the Rocketball literally explodes! Keep your eyes and ears on the timer, because once it fills up, an explosion will damage friends and foes alike, and Megablast whoever is unlucky enough to be holding the Blast Ball!

*No Rocketballs were harmed in the making of this mode*

Game Mode Changes

  • Rocketbot Attack
    • Removed AoE attack from Rocketbots
    • Reduced Rocketbot fire rate
  • 2v2 Knockout
    • Reduced the score limit from 20 to 12
    • Reduced time limit from 7 min to 5 min

Items

Limited Time event items added!

Spider Magnet

Use the Spider Magnet to deploy a sticky web wall that will severely slow down any opponent or their rockets that get caught in it. Beware, opponent rockets can still punch through the web if they make it through!

Pumpkin Bomb

Throw the Pumpkin Bomb for an explosion that’s larger than life! With its increased size, it’s easier than ever to hit with rockets and change its direction. Watch out, this goes for allies and opponents!

UI

  • Crossplay can now be set to PC-Only or Console-Only
  • Onboarding videos now work on Xbox

Misc

  • Performance improvements to increase console gameplay quality
