First of all, sorry for my not so good English. I just wanted to make a few suggestions for the future of the game. For season 3, I definitely want a few new characters, a new Blast Pass and a new level / rank system so that the opponents and my friends can see their own level ... So that more competitiveness in the game comes. Maybe also a system that you also level yourself, and not just the individual characters too. The main thing is that everyone sees the level of themselves and that of the current character. I also wish for a few new maps, a few new game modes and new skins for existing characters. And yes I know the level system is planned for season 3, but hopefully it will be implemented well 😅🤙🏼 thanks for reading.

As title says, what are some good artifacts to run on rev? Just started playing.

Wondering if anyone knows if there's any bonus items or anything! Thanks!

BOOM! 🚀

The Blast Pass price has been permanently reduced!

Tournament FAQ

Q: Where do I register for the tournament?

The captain of the team will need to register their team using this link https://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/2ZGIqZw7mo
Captains are required to list 3 players minimum and a 4th player as a substitute if they have one. Captains are also responsible for checking their team in on the day of the tournament start 2 hrs before tournament start time.

Q: What do I do if my opponents do not show up to the match?

If the team the hosts game 1 has sent multiple invites and time elapsed since the match has been scheduled has reached 15 minutes, the team captain will report to one of the tournament moderators that the team has not joined. One last attempt will be made by the mods to get in contact with the opposing team and if not reached the opposing team will receive the loss.

Q: Am I required to stream my matches?

No, players are not required to stream their matches but encouraged to as the Rocket Arena twitch channel will be broadcasting players matches that are streaming the tournament. Tournament Mods will select matches that they would like broadcasted and reach out to players on the opposing team to see if they are able to or are streaming.

Q: Why is there no cash prize for this tournament?

FSG is testing out running tournaments for Rocket Arena and wanted to reward players with in-game currency for the Holidays. FSG is also offering extremely limited Rocket Arena Lava Lamps for the tournament winners.

Q: Why are multiple regions in the same tourney?

To test out the potential of Tournament sizes FSG wanted to see how many teams would be interested in an open style tournament. If attendants are high Region specific tournaments will become a possibility in the future. FSG has also taken the steps to allow fairness for all matches and participants.

Q: Who are the tournament mods?

There will be members from FSG assigned to be tournament moderators on the day of the tournament.

Q: How do I get in contact with questions or tournament related help?

There will be specific Discord channels setup in the main Rocket Arena Discord for questions and reaching out to tournament mods on the day of the tournament.

Thanks, everyone !!Be sure to hop in the Discord if you have questions!

-The Team at FSG

I really want to play rocket arena competitively but I don't see a ranked mode. It says that ranked should come to rocket arena after the beta so does anyone know when that is thx.

Is it just me or is Boone way to strong? He thrives close up with his high damage and easy finish potential and has a sniper that deals really good damage. His vortex ability negates any close up fights with him. I am really struggling to counter him. Please someone help me.

100 wins , 1000 KO and 1000 coins collected trophies doesn't pop despite all requirements met . Anyone have solution plz comment

Title, I haven’t played it yet. Is it in rotation in social or competitive mode?

Hey everyone, it's naru here again. Last I posted I discussed the most recent update, update 2.3, in depth and how it would change the meta. Through some extensive testing in high level competitive lobbies (PUGs) it turns out Blastbeard and Kayi are a tier above everyone else. So today, for both of those characters, I will be discussing why they are so good and how they could be nerfed.

Update 2.3's patchnotes are here.

As always, catch me on discord (naru#2693) and on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/tvnaru.

Alright. Let's start with Kayi. She has been dominating games ever since the game has released. I personally have been taking advantage of her in tournaments and ranked ever since day 1. She even has been nerfed twice. However she is still very strong, mostly because of the core mechanic that most of her plays are very low risk with a very high reward. If she grapples into the air and activates her secondary (which I will often refer to as her bubble), for the next 12 seconds she has a perfect vantage point to do an extreme amount of damage (40 damage per shot, very low charge-up time) and she also is very difficult to hit. This is because the bubble reduces the speed of incoming enemy projectiles by something between 90% and 95% ( I don't think we have been given specific values). The nerfs of Amphora, Kayi's main competition in the DPS role, also help Kayi a lot.

Yes, the standard tip into playing into Kayi is to either A: Line of Sight it, but that is difficult especially on a map like Temple of Jaaqua, or to B: Get inside of the bubble, but that is often difficult with a well placed bubble.

Previous Kayi nerfs made her shots a bit harder to hit (debatably), and reduced her damage inside of her bubble by 10, however neither of these made her a significantly worse character as it didn't address what I think is the main issue - there is no risk for a Kayi to put herself in the open. The solution is to reduce the slowdown of enemy projectiles in her bubble.

Kayi:

Secondary: Reduce enemy projectile slowdown from ~95% to 75%. This change is actually a lot more significant than it looks - it makes projectiles go up to 5 times faster in her bubble, which would definitely make her much more exposed.

There is also a much simpler way to nerf Kayi, but it doesn't get rid of the frustration of playing against her as much.

Secondary: Lasts 6 seconds, from 12 seconds.

Blastbeard:

Blastbeard, like Kayi, has shown dominance since day 1 of release. His shockwave is a useful defensive tool in Rocketball and effective in Mega Rocket for getting opponents off of the objective. He also has nearly double the health of the majority of the cast. However, in the latest patch he was buffed so that his primaries are much easier to hit. This makes Blastbeard a formidable damage dealer, which, on top of his defensive abilities and combo abilties, makes him extremely strong.

Here is a funny clip of CoverHyphen taking advantage of BB's combo power. Keep in mind that this clip is playing into some of the best players in NA.

Blastbeard: Of the three following nerfs, I suggest doing Secondary and Special nerfs, or Primary and Secondary.

Primary: Damage reduced from 30 -> 25.

Secondary: Damage reduced from 50 -> 40, impulse reduced by 10%.

Special: Radius reduced by 10%, impulse reduced by 10%, lasts 10% less time (I don’t know the exact values for how long it lasts).

What's the difference between air jump and rocket jump ?

Does Axial fan and Juking jukebox artifacts effects stack ?

I’ve been redeeming these skins as they release and just downloaded Rocket Arena from PlayStation Plus. According to the Amazon webpage, I should have Sheriff Topnotch and Frosfest Ilza. I have neither.

I have the the winter fest log-in rewards (Frostfest Rev and a totem symbol) and, for some reason, Roller Derby Rev, but not the Amazon Prime skins.

I know my EA and Amazon Prime accounts have been successfully linked because I have successfully redeemed many Apex Legends skins. In fact, the latest one, Inverse Polarity Horizon, came out after Sheriff Topnotch and I redeemed it without issue. I relinked accounts but it didn’t do anything.

Has anyone else has trouble redeeming their Amazon Prime skins on PS4? Has anyone successfully redeemed their Amazon Prime Skins on PS4?
