Knockout: Participation Rules
So how does this new LTM work? Let’s dive right in. Kick your opponent out of the safe zone or into the danger zone, the last player standing wins!
game rules
Team size – There are no teams in the knockout rounds. Instead, 8 players compete in free play.
Life– Unlike Soccar, Knockout doesn’t have infinite respawns. Players will have to watch their backs because once you get KO 3 times, it’s game over.
Safety Zone – Surrounding the arena is a translucent dome called the Safe Zone. When a player is kicked out of the safe zone, they must return within 10 seconds or they will be knocked out. Throughout the game, the safe zone shrinks, increasing the danger. After 6 minutes, the match will enter a sudden KO, each attack or throw is at maximum power, and being knocked out of the safe zone will result in an instant KO.
Hazard – Each Knockout Arena contains multiple Hazards, including Spikes and laser grids located beneath the platforms. Touching the hazard will result in an instant KO.
core gameplay
attack – Dodging opponents does more than just bumping into them, in Knockout, the right attack will send your opponent flying. Remember, the faster you go, the more you get hit.
clogged – Blocking reflects attacks back to your opponent. Be careful though, this will only work at the right moment, otherwise your block will fail, leaving you open to attack.
Grasp – Hold the Grab button and dodge your opponents to grab them. Dodge again to throw them across the arena.
Secondary mechanics
Vertigo – Players are stunned after being hit by an attack, being grabbed, being thrown by a grapple, or an attack being blocked. In this state, the player is helpless and unable to control his car. While stunned, you can free yourself by mashing the Break Stun button.
Enemy Locked – Cameras can now lock onto opposing players instead of the ball. When locked, the player can cycle through the target.
Triple Jump – Double jump is so retro. In Knockout, players can jump twice in the air, then reset the jump by placing the wheels on the ground.
Multi Dodge – Evasion power has been increased, now players can dodge up to four times in the air. There’s also no need to flip a reset, as there’s no time limit on how long your dodges can stay in the air.
Jump – In knockout, jumps have more vertical power than other Rocket League modes.
Promote – Boost is slightly stronger in Knockout, it allows the player to return to the platform while being slammed into the distance by other players. Boost charges as long as you don’t boost when the wheels are touching the ground.
enter the arena
Knockout has moved from Soccar Stadium to 3 new arenas built for combat: Calavera, carbonand Tetrode. The constant collision of cars eventually wears down all 3 walls and floors, so be careful! Players can easily get kicked out of the arena and never come back once they fall too far.
Knockout Challenge
Fighting it out in the Arena isn’t easy, but a new batch of challenge rewards should help keep morale high.Unlock spring-themed items such as Fluorescent Wheel, monarch boostor animation Flutterby Decals As you smash your way to the top.
Stop and smell the golden hamper
