A new ‘Blueprint’ system will be coming to Rocket League ahead of the removal of all in-game crates and keys this December. With the changes set to ‘give players more transparency in what they are purchasing’, the previous ‘blind luck’ loot boxes called Crates will be replaced by Blueprints alongside a new rotating Item Shop in a pre-Christmas update. The Item Shop will have new items and legacy content from old Crates, but anything purchased there will be locked to the account that bought it, unable to be traded to other players.
Psyonix, the developer behind Rocket League has announced that it will be releasing the Blueprint Update on December 4. This update was first announced in October and revealed that Blueprints and Credits will replace Crates and Keys. Once the update is live, at the end of a match, players have the chance to obtain a Blueprint. Blueprints will show exactly what item can be built, for a set price.
Blueprints, like Crates, can drop with special features like Painted, Certified, and Special Editions. To build the Blueprint, players will need to spend Credits. Alternatively, Blueprints can be traded or saved for later. Any Crates that remain in a player’s inventory when the update goes live, will be converted to Blueprints from the same series. Blueprints converted in this way appear as “unrevealed” in your inventory.
There has been plenty of information released about Blueprints already from Psyonix. Blind Loot Crates will be swapped out for Blueprints where players can see exactly they will be rewarded with before deciding to make a purchase. Blueprints are awarded through completing matches and can be constructed using a new premium currency.
Rocket League’s monetisation changes will arrive as part of the Blueprint Update, which comes to all platforms on 4th December and introduces Rocket Pass 5, the start of Competitive Season 13, and a selection of freebies for all players. According to Psyonix, all cars and items from the Supersonic Fury, Revenge of the Battle-Cars, and Chaos Run DLC Packs will be added to player inventories as soon as the update is available. Moreover, 5mmo.com provides Cheap Rocket League Items for players. As an online in-game currency store for many years, we’ve received great reputation for our reliable service.
