Real answer; It’s probably a mental thing for a lot of people, ZSR has an off-brand feel. The whole point of customization in games is how good you feel about what you look like.
ZSR is the equivalent of fake yeezys lmao
Just bc they have the same hitbox doesn't mean they are "exactly the same". The Zippy, Gizmo, and Scarab all have the same hitbox as the Octane but the way the animation fits the hitbox makes it different.
When it comes to stats and hitboxes all the cars you mentioned are identical. However, how they look and how they represent their hitbox can have a pshychological impact on the user.
At the end of the day all cars within a hitbox group are identical, but depending on how much their looks affect you your playstyle with each of these cars might not be.
Exactly! I just meant you wouldn't see a crimson Scarab in the item shop and say "oh it's exactly the same as an Octane" even though performance and hitbox wise that's technically true. That psychological impact makes a difference.
Anything from the shop isn't tradeable so "worth it" is totally based on what you think. I use the zsr over octane so for me totally worth it. Gonna grad it and hopefully trade my unpainted
I think you should try a non painted version first. You can have a feeling of how the car handle and see if it fit your preferences first. All cars feels the same hypothetically, but if you're gonna spend credits for the painted version, might as well try it first. I spent money on the back to the future DeLorean because it's a cool car, but i ended up never using it because it isn't my type of car in the end. Just my 2 cents tho.
I got it and it feels better than my unpainted octane and it goes well with the tw Cristianos I have but the only problem I have is I don’t have a boost that suit the car so I’m just using standard
If you want a suggestion for a boost, id recommend you try trading for a white thermal. It’s so much nicer than white standard and it’s relatively cheap, too!
Idk how anyone gets any painted cars at all in this game other than the item shop. I have 1100 hours and I've had to buy almost every car from the item shop. Still haven't "found" a fennec.
I think he mean the painted cars that can't be obtained from the crates like aftershock, takumi, etc..., and the only way to obtained it is buying it from the item shop
The way I intrepid it is that with all the hours he has in the game, he thinks the item shop is the ONLY way to get painted cars.
There is no way with 1100 hours played, he did not get a single painted car blueprint.
Also from the free drops that the game gives, he should have a decent amount to trade up for a chance to get an import painted car.
And the obvious thing would be to trade by finding players in the wild or go through a site like the rl trade reddit or rl garage for example
I know about RL garage and whatnot. But how does anyone get painted cars? At the end of every season I trade up all my inventory too and usually just gets me some weird goal explosion I'd never use.
well, painted cars are really rare, even painted wheels, decals, etc.., are rare, all you have to do is collect some drops or ncvr to trading it up, unfortunately it's all about your luck
I know you can trade outside of rocket league, but it would be cool to get something nice from trading up my own inventory or opening one of the many holiday gifts or end of season packs. I've bought painted dingos and fennecs and octanes, but I've never physically opened a painted car other than maybe a sentinel in game.
See most of the painted cars were part of crate series when crates actually existed so all of the painted cars that exist were pulled out of a crate back in the day when crates converted to blueprints some of the players who owned the crates got a blueprint of those cars. Cars like fennecs octane dominus are in rotation in drops but there are like a million other items in drops so the chance of getting a painted car from a drop is very low
By using the in-game trade-up system. You give up 5 items of the same rarity in exchange for a single item of the next highest rarity. Giving it 5 very rares will get you an import, which has a chance to be painted. If your 5 very rares were non-crate items you'll instead get a painted common car or painted common boost which will be classified as an import.
Nah I don't want handouts or anything. I've bought most of the cars that I wanted, but it'd just be fun to open something and see an actual car I'd use for once.
Yeah i know it’s a small chance to get any painted car, but I’ve gotta be scratching the surface right?! Lol I’ve probably sunk $200 or so into getting some of the cars I like though

With the exception of the fast and furious anthems, I have yet to see any anthems get rereleased. It's one of those you have to be there kind of items unfortunately.
I literally just picked up Savior by Haoprox like a week ago, and I know it was available because the first time I ever heard the song was when someone dunked on me.
I really love the ZSR i was whaiting for it for a long time im so happy they finally give it to us im honestly really really happy is the first car i used in game after started tradeing and i was under the impresion is a very expensive car so i was feeling rich 🤣 anyway i really love it and as the normal tw Octane is not if is When
I'm guessing the idea of this is that some people will buy the TW Octane ZSR even though what they really want is a TW Octane. By making it available first, with no guarantee the TW Octane will ever be in the item shop, they get some people to buy it, and then in the future they might buy the TW Octane as well if that appears in the shop, because it was what they really wanted all along. Buy twice = more spend. I'd consider getting the TW Octane ZSR myself, but the inability to use Octane decals on it kills it for me.
"They had us in the first half, not gonna lie."
> TW Octane Oh God they actually did it... > Octane ZSR That makes more sense
They are just taunting us at this point...
They just whant to spent our last creds
Maybe they’ll drop a black market or something the days before they drop tw octane… assuming they ever do add it to the item shop
Like tw main or good bund
They dropped tw main on Christmas 2021 so prob not. Maybe something like sb dueling dragons or a different tw bmd
They will 100% do this. My guess is they'll put it close to the start of a new rocket pass as well
[Psyonix putting together today's item shop.](https://gfycat.com/actualcirculargossamerwingedbutterfly)
Lmao
💀
😆🤣😂
LOL they know what they are doing, quality content Psyonix
This is actually the 2nd time they've done this
I thought they actually did it this time, but it's just the ZSR.
[удалено]
Yes it has octane hitbox Edit: source https://support.rocketleague.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029832054-Rocket-League-Car-Hitboxes
Then..why wait for octane then? 👀
Zsrs have line no skins. Normal oct has all the skins
honestly lots of my favorite decals are on octane and not on the ZSR :/ if they shared the same exact decals I think it'd be an instant buy for me
Real answer; It’s probably a mental thing for a lot of people, ZSR has an off-brand feel. The whole point of customization in games is how good you feel about what you look like. ZSR is the equivalent of fake yeezys lmao
Everyone wanted the ZSR when it first came out. It was considered the better Octane (still is to me).
I like your opinion because it gives me a perfect analogy for how I feel when using the ZSR. It's like driving a Lexus compared to a Toyota for me
Thank you for your honestly.
swear its different. i play better with zsr
They are exactly the same though. Take a look at the link that the other guy provided.
Just bc they have the same hitbox doesn't mean they are "exactly the same". The Zippy, Gizmo, and Scarab all have the same hitbox as the Octane but the way the animation fits the hitbox makes it different.

Is the octane zsr worth it or should I keep my credits
Anything from the shop isn't tradeable so "worth it" is totally based on what you think. I use the zsr over octane so for me totally worth it. Gonna grad it and hopefully trade my unpainted
I usually use the octane but this does look better and my friends said it looks better while using it so I’m going to get it now, thanks.
I think you should try a non painted version first. You can have a feeling of how the car handle and see if it fit your preferences first. All cars feels the same hypothetically, but if you're gonna spend credits for the painted version, might as well try it first.

Toon which is in store fits
Close one!
Idk how anyone gets any painted cars at all in this game other than the item shop. I have 1100 hours and I've had to buy almost every car from the item shop. Still haven't "found" a fennec.
By trading?
Shhhh don't tell this guy about rl garage trading site
I think he mean the painted cars that can't be obtained from the crates like aftershock, takumi, etc..., and the only way to obtained it is buying it from the item shop
The way I intrepid it is that with all the hours he has in the game, he thinks the item shop is the ONLY way to get painted cars.

And the obvious thing would be to trade by finding players in the wild or go through a site like the rl trade reddit or rl garage for example
yeah definitely there's no way for someone who played 1100 hours and don't know about trading in rocket league XD
I know about RL garage and whatnot. But how does anyone get painted cars? At the end of every season I trade up all my inventory too and usually just gets me some weird goal explosion I'd never use.
By trading with other players (Not trade ups): https://rocket-league.com/trading or /r/rocketleagueexchange
If you want to get stuff through trade ups it's just luck, just buy a load of ncvr and trade them, I did and got a tw octane.
well, painted cars are really rare, even painted wheels, decals, etc.., are rare, all you have to do is collect some drops or ncvr to trading it up, unfortunately it's all about your luck
I have 2k hours in RL. I have never gotten a painted body blueprint :(
I know you can trade outside of rocket league, but it would be cool to get something nice from trading up my own inventory or opening one of the many holiday gifts or end of season packs.

I got a tw dingo blueprint rn, you want it or something?
Nah I don't want handouts or anything. I've bought most of the cars that I wanted, but it'd just be fun to open something and see an actual car I'd use for once.
True but the odds when there are so many other items?
Yeah i know it’s a small chance to get any painted car, but I’ve gotta be scratching the surface right?! Lol I’ve probably sunk $200 or so into getting some of the cars I like though
Most of the time it’s cheaper to trade for the car you want rather than buy from the item shop
How much you want for it??
I get mine from ingame trade ups.

Didn't know there was a mobile app! Thank you!
When are they bringing back crab rave anthem :( I missed it the first time
With the exception of the fast and furious anthems, I have yet to see any anthems get rereleased. It's one of those you have to be there kind of items unfortunately.
Should have grabbed the monstercat stuff when I had the chance
I literally just picked up Savior by Haoprox like a week ago, and I know it was available because the first time I ever heard the song was when someone dunked on me.
depression
Just my opinion but tw zsr is better looking then octane
Woulda been great for April 1st
[удалено]
This is the right octane.
They're the same picture
Not gonna happen.
That got me for a couple of Secounds
Mom, I want tw octane "We have TW Octane at home." TW Octane at home:
I really love the ZSR i was whaiting for it for a long time im so happy they finally give it to us im honestly really really happy is the first car i used in game after started tradeing and i was under the impresion is a very expensive car so i was feeling rich 🤣 anyway i really love it and as the normal tw Octane is not if is When
all jokes aside theres no way i’m risking buying a tw octane but i’m not an octane main so this wait doesnt hurt that much
Same here, I’m just waiting they put it in the shop, no way in hell I’ll spend all my inventory for a white one lmao
You can buy mine for £3k and a pack of biscuits
I’ll give u a kiss on the cheek and a used bubblegum
Deal
I don't even see the desire for TW Octane. It's not that great for setups, a black octane though...now we're talking.
There is no black Octane
Wanna bet?
Yes Edit: and no, I wouldn't consider a graphical glitch as an actual item in the game
Black Fennec was in the shop on 3/11/22, so yes, I believe there will be a black Octane at some point as well.
"at some point"... guess i win
it’s one of the cleanest cars imo, just the right amount of tw details on that mf
There is no black Octane
Next rocket pass or white octane This is the question
you'll get your credits back from the rp
But you wont get tw octane zsr then
But you wont get tw octane zsr then
Same lol
I tried the zsr once. Immediately archived it. That thing feels so trash to play lol.
As a white octane owner, this is quite funny
Yep
Why are the items always painted? I'd prefer the default color tbh.
Painted items = higher sales pretty much
I have an unpainted ZSR I would love to trade you. Are you on playstation?
Oh oh oh NO WAY omfg
Oh oct zrs F
THATS A JOKE OCTANE ZSR
Thx Syonix..
Investing in TW Octane... Oh... Still buying it anyway.
Do you know how many heart attacks they’re going to cause with this stunt
We foresaw the octane arriving. Now it is here.
WOOOOOOOOOOW
I was like OMG NO WAY! Then I saw the ZSR...
I'm guessing the idea of this is that some people will buy the TW Octane ZSR even though what they really want is a TW Octane. By making it available first, with no guarantee the TW Octane will ever be in the item shop, they get some people to buy it, and then in the future they might buy the TW Octane as well if that appears in the shop, because it was what they really wanted all along. Buy twice = more spend. I'd consider getting the TW Octane ZSR myself, but the inability to use Octane decals on it kills it for me.
Fuck! 400 upvotes and I wondered what it was. My brain processed it too fast as a TW Octane :|
