[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Starting June 17, you won't have teammates, you'll have a crew. After months of planning, Fast & Furious returns with old favorites and a new car suitable for the open road, thrilling chases, and now the Rocket League pitch!

The Fast & Furious 3-Car Bundle comes fully stocked with three cars from the Fast & Furious saga: the Nissan Skyline, Dodge Charger, and all-new Pontiac Fiero. Embrace your inner tuner with 17 Decals, including three new Reel Life Decals pulled right from the screen. Here's everything included in the Fast & Furious 3-Car Bundle (2400 Credits):

FAST & FURIOUS PONTIAC FIERO (HYBRID HITBOX)
FAST & FURIOUS DODGE CHARGER (DOMINUS HITBOX)
FAST & FURIOUS NISSAN SKYLINE (HYBRID HITBOX)

*Note: The items included in the Fast & Furious 3-Car Bundle can only be equipped to their respective cars. The Fast & Furious Pontiac Fiero, Fast & Furious Dodge Charger, and Fast & Furious Nissan Skyline cannot be customized with other licensed/third-party item types, but can be customized with non-branded items from Rocket League. Fast & Furious Cars that were previously purchased will also have these restrictions.

These three cars will also be sold individually, and as Upgrade packs for those who already have the Dodge Charger or Nissan Skyline and just want the new Wheels and Reel Life Decal. Each individual Car Pack can be purchased for 1000 Credits, while the Upgrade Bundles are 300 Credits.

Plus, head to the Item Shop once the Fast & Furious Bundles hit the Item Shop and claim the "Tuna, No Crust" Title for FREE. No heist necessary!

With the sights of Fast & Furious covered, don't forget about the sounds. Two new Player Anthems from the saga will be available beginning the same day the Fast & Furious 3-Car Bundle goes live. Get the all-new "Furiosa" by Anitta for 200 Credits on June 17, plus a second Player Anthem that will be revealed when it hits the Item Shop.

How to get Rocket League clears

There are a few key aspects that you need to master in order to progress in Rocket League: clears, aerial manoeuvres, and scoring goals. Whether you're playing casual games with friends or trying to climb the Rocket League ranks, knowing these skills is important to getting those wins and improving as a Rocket League player.

As we all know, Rocket League is like playing football with cars. Despite all the various modes and differing numbers of players per team, the basics remain the same in every match. Don't worry if you're not running the best Rocket League cars, or if your decals aren't up to scratch: knowing the basics is the most important thing.

Goals are self-explanatory, and learning how to move well in the air to juggle the ball and keep it away from your opponents is a complicated (albeit vital) skill. But what are clears in Rocket League, and how do you achieve them? Put simply, it's playing the goalkeeper role, but we'll explain in more detail in this guide.

New LTM Tactical Rumble Starts June 3rd

Get ready to get TACTICAL on June 3! The classic Rumble mode has evolved into Tactical Rumble, giving players more options to use the right power-up at the right time.
Just like standard Rumble, matches are classic 3v3 soccar with power-ups leading to unpredictable play and hilarious goals. But in Tactical Rumble, instead of having just one random power-up, players will receive three to choose from. Once used, your three power-ups will reset after a cooldown period, giving you three new options. But as Rumble players know, not all power-ups are equal. That's why certain power-ups have different cooldown times before your next set of power-ups appear. Here's each power-up's cooldown time:

10-SECOND COOLDOWN

TORNADO: SWEEP UP THE BALL AND OPPOSING CARS INTO A GIANT FUNNEL CLOUD
CAR SWAPPER: CHANGE POSITIONS ON THE FIELD WITH YOUR OPPONENT
DISRUPTOR: FORCES YOUR OPPONENT TO DRIVE UNCONTROLLABLY

15-SECOND COOLDOWN

POWER HITTER: ALLOWS YOU TO HIT THE BALL HARDER AND DEMO OPPONENTS ON CONTACT
GRAPPLING HOOK: PULLS YOU TOWARDS THE BALL
THE BOOT: KICKS AN OPPONENT’S CAR

20-SECOND COOLDOWN

MAGNETIZER: ATTRACTS THE BALL TO YOUR CAR
FREEZER: FREEZES THE BALL IN-PLACE

25-SECOND COOLDOWN

PLUNGER: GRABS THE BALL VIA PLUNGER AND CORD
HAYMAKER: PUNCHES THE BALL WITH GREAT FORCE
SPIKES: ATTACH THE BALL TO YOUR CAR

Tactical Rumble will be available as an LTM from June 3 through June 7. So, assemble your team, and choose your power-ups wisely!

Update: We have updated this blog with correct cooldown timing for the Plunger, Haymaker, and Spikes
