A new patch for Rocket League will go on March 10 at 10 AM PDT / 5 PM UTC. This update (likely to be 1.2.9 on Nintendo Switch) will bring with it a variety of changes and fixes. Here are the full patch notes:
Blueprint Trade-In
Once the update is live, you’ll be able to trade in Blueprints to get a Blueprint of a higher rarity, just like you can with free items. Trade five Blueprints from the same series and same rarity to get one of higher rarity in return!
Fix for Inventory Filters
Speaking of Blueprints, inventory management is also getting a fix. Any filters you set when viewing your inventory will stay active until you exit your inventory. You’ll even be able to change item tabs while keeping your filters. This also means you’ll be able to trade in items of a specific rarity, and those filters will remain active after the trade. We hope this makes the trading process a bit easier.
Changes to Default Settings
We’ve made some slight adjustments to default settings for players picking up Rocket League for the first time. The new settings should make it easier for new players to see the field and control their car. These changes will not affect anyone’s modified control scheme or camera settings, but if players are using current default settings, they will change to the new default settings after the update. Here’s what’s changing:
Hailing from Fire Emblem: Three Houses game, a new Grand Hero, Flame Emperor: Bringer of War, is waiting in Special Maps. Defeat this mysterious individual who instigates conflict to make them your ally in battle. Take a look at today’s full character art of the Flame Emperor below:
