What is the Knockout game on Rocket League?
In Rocket League, the "Knockout" game mode is a variation of the standard game mode that adds an extra layer of excitement and strategy to the gameplay. In Knockout, the objective is to score goals and knock your opponents out of the arena, rather than simply trying to score the most goals.
How to play Knockout in Rocket League
Select the Knockout game mode from the main menu or the in-game matchmaking menu.
Join or create a match with the desired number of players (2v2, 3v3, or 4v4).
Once the match starts, play like you would in a standard match, but with the added objective of knocking your opponents out of the arena.
When an opponent's car goes out of bounds, they will be eliminated from the match and will not respawn until the next round.
The team that eliminates all their opponents or scores the most goals before time runs out, wins the round.
If the match ends in a tie, the game goes into overtime, where one team must score to win.
The team that wins the most rounds wins the match.
In Knockout, you will need to be more aggressive and defensive and try to eliminate your opponent by making contact with them and making them fly out of the field while protecting your goals. To make good contact, timing and boost management would be crucial.
Also, unlike standard matches, in Knockout, the players will not respawn after they are eliminated, thus making it more important to protect your team members and play defensively.
