Some people make the mistake of playing Rocket League as if it's a game of skill, when really, this is a title that demands (and very occasionally rewards) chaos. The latest update to the game, Rumble, seems like it embraces this play-style, giving players the chance to pick up one of 11 special power-ups, from punching-gloves-on-springs to deployable tornados. Here's the full list, via Polygon:

  • The Boot (Kick's an opponent's car)
  • Disruptor (Forces the opponent to drive uncontrollably)
  • Freezer (Freezes the ball in-place)
  • Grappling Hook (Pulls you towards the ball)
  • Haymaker (Punches the ball)
  • Magnetizer (Attracts the ball to your car)
  • Plunger (Grabs the ball via plunger and cord)
  • Power Hitter (Hit everything harder)
  • Spike (Attach the ball to your car when you bump into it)
  • Swapper (Change positions on the field with your opponent)
  • Tornado (Sweep up the ball and cars into a giant funnel cloud)

These power-ups will be available for use in one new game-mode, but the DLC pack will have more (as yet unknown) content. It'll be available as a free download sometime next month, but right now developer Psyonix isn't saying exactly when.
