Rocket League - Dropshot Smashes the Arena Floor on March 22 By Michelle-Louise Janion, 15 Mar 2017 CommentsAnother FREE mode is coming to Rocket League later this month!Dropshot is a brand new take on Rocket League gameplay as we introduce dynamic breakable floors and an electrified ball, all within the confines of a new hexagonal Arena, 'Core 707'. Instead of pushing the ball into your opponent’s goal, your objective is to destroy panels on the opposing team’s floor, and score goals through those gaps.Our new game mode is all about Damage! Along with our usual stats like Goals, Assists, and Saves, Dropshot introduces Damage as a statistic — the more damage you do, the more floor panels break, and the easier it is to score a goal! Each panel can be hit by a ball twice — the first hit activates the panel, while the second breaks the panel, creating a new scoring opportunity.The new ball has three different phases, each more powerful than the last, that determine how much damage is done when the ball smashes into the floor panels. The second and third phases are activated by multiple Battle-Car hits, so the longer the ball stays off the ground, the more powerful it becomes. While the first phase of the new ball only damages one tile upon impact, the second and third phases can damage up to seven and 19 panels, respectively. Check out the Dropshot trailer below! Along with Dropshot releasing on March 22, we have a host of other changes coming to Rocket League, including new achievements/trophies, painted Bodies and Rocket Trails, an Esports content button, the end of Competitive Season 3, a new Skill Tier hierarchy, and more!Check out our dedicated page for the update here!More Rocket League stories: Rocket League Free Weekend Begins Tomorrow Rocket League Salty Shores Update Arrives Dutch Gaming Authority Wants Changes for Loot Boxes Rocket League Update Adds Tournaments Rocket League DC Super Heroes DLC Pack Out Now WindowsUpcoming ReleaseVideoScreenshotsRelease Date Written by Michelle-Louise JanionI tend to favour the puzzle, RPG, action-adventure and strategy genres. My particular favourites over the years have been Final Fantasy IX, Metal Gear Solid, Civilisation V and The Last of Us. I'm also a sucker for a series: Darksiders, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider etc.I am a bit of a lone gamer as I tend to steer clear of PvP, and only play multiplayer with close friends.
