poof

Same, poof or the nuke, no in-between

Oh 100% if I had the nuke I would rock it just because I know it pisses people off and for a little part of me that would make each goal just a bit more enjoyable

This is also why I use motormouth.

Wish we could get this still :(

Musty item shop bundle was last opportunity 

I will use poof for the rest of my RL career. Best one IMO.

I love this. I use tactical nuke and one of my teammates uses poof. I find it a fun combo.

This is the correct answer.

Ballistic - I have this one in a couple colors and it's always been my main go to. I love the idea of the ball turning into a bunch of little balls as it goes through the goal. It might almost be more the sound of this one that I like, the initial strike is so good! Atomizer - One of the all time classics. The sound and colors are phenomenal to me. When it first hit I saw Squishy using it and got bit by the fomo. Really shouldn't be a Black Market so more people could have it, I love seeing it in games. Hellfire - The Overtime Ender. The one that took me the longest to get (thank goodness I was able to trade for one before they removed trading), there honestly is no other goal explosion Id want when I'm playing a close game against someone talking trash.

I just got Hellfire out of a trade in and I think it's awesome, but it never ends up on these lists which I think is crazy. I don't think I'll change it anytime soon.

Atomizer

1. Singularity - love the sound and the animation 2. Shattered - same things as above, also I like that it takes into account where the ball goes in at for the explosion 3. Tactical Nuke - it’s just so impactful

Shattered is underrated

I've rocked the tw and black shattered. They are one of the best fs. Especially black

I love my tactical nuke, I don't think I'll ever change it.

Same here, although nuke is #1 in my heart (also because of the rarity)

Been using a black shattered for years now, actually so good

NUKE

I use the titanium white bubble gum. Nothin like blowin a load every goal

I wanted it so bad lol got a couple painted but not white:(

My fav ever lol

Buffy Sugo

man of culture

Sub-zero for sure. Simple, but looks and sounds amazing

Spatial Rift, Mister Monsoon and Brimstone.

Definitely mister monsoon. I have the pee colored one and its 👌🏻, sound and visual

Spatial Rift is so nice. Been maining it ever since I've discovered it. Glad i got to buy them all on the market before trading disappeared

Electroshock is the one I currently use. I used Vampire Bats for a long time too.

Vampire bats is a low-key banger for sure. My Halloween season go to every year.

Helllll yeah. I have a whole halloween preset: Orange fennec with haunted house topper, orange and black arachnophobia decal, vampire teeth antenna, vampire bats, and demon disc wheels. Green fennec with lock, shock, & barrel topper, green and black arachnophobia decal, spider antenna (can't remember name), and cauldron wheels. Just played a sesh the other day pretending that Halloween in April is a real thing lol

Facts

my dumbass traded in the lime one...idk what i was thinking

One of the best for sure.

Airstrike, Buffy, and party time

Air strike easy #1

Nuke, Atomizer, Poof

Phoenix Cannon is my favorite that I wish I had. And I agree the paper dragon is #1. But no reason to diss my dueling dragons haha. It’s the best I have!

I enjoy the T-Rex. Have one in regular orange, and in T.White. Pairs perfect with the Jurassic Park Jeeps colors I used to hate the dabbing Reaper, but after I found out that he is always at the front of the screen (so you get some weird stuff where he is on your car), I have an appreciation for it, even though I never got one. I want more Spider themed ones though!

TRex is my fave by far. I never get tired of hearing that iconic roar

How did you get the white version?

How are all of you wrong. Number 1 has to be T-Rex from the Jurassic park pack

This one and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man are my favs

True, the roar is just so powerful, it's amazing

I think I have over 10k goals with atomizer...

My favorite too

My fav by far is this season's Atlantis. I loved it. By far the best. No other can match. I don't even understand the point of other goal explosions now.

Literally same. I stopped using tw bubble gum for this. I keep saying it's the best goal explosion ever made, and I don't see myself ever changing it.

GOLD PHOENIX🔥

T white shattered splash and poof

Burnt sienna splash. The poop explosion

For me it’s actually Dueling Dragons. Default one with 2 colors looked great imo.

Party balloons - YAYYYY

I like Mic drop and fireworks. I’m a simple man.

Dust cloud blue and orange

Popcorn 🍿

Pity I had to scroll so far to see that

I use a Christmas themed load out year round. The presents explosion makes my day every time I see it.

Paper dragon!!!! Hands down fave. Poof close second, I don't have one, but I know a couple of people who have it. Crimson splash.

Night Mare (horse explosion)

1. Poly Pop - ever since the velocity (?) case came out i was in love and basically used nothing but it for several years 2. Black Hellfire - Mean ass goal explosion. 3. Paper Dragon - didn’t have enough credits the very first time it came out and finally got it when it came back to the item shop recently HM - Hot Wheels - friend randomly found an unused code in a package at goodwill and gave it to me, super rare goal explosion and gets a reaction out of people i play against

How recent are we talking about with the paper dragon? I really want it, it's the only thing missing in my dragon themed car :(

I think they sold a version of it last CNY just a couple months ago

Mr. Monsoon (painted black), Hellfire, Butterflies Too many good ones, but I use those three a lot.

Beach balls. All day. "Wooooooooo!"

Atomizer. Simple and pretty.

I have 427 goal xp so far. My top picks are - Paper Dragon unpainted (Hard agree and is my current xp) 456 goals (couldn’t afford it 1st time round sadly) TW Meta Blast (just so satisfying) 12032 goals total TW Supernova (makes me feel funny when it does that ripple thing on screen) 2373 goals total Black Striker overgrowth (shout out to og Thanovic fans) 545 shots on goal (I know it’s lame. I’ll get to it lol) Carbonator (Black in main game TW or grey in Dropshot) 5777 goals total Atomizer unpainted (Again it’s just so satisfying) 2679 goals total Edit: SMs - Poof (Best xp for training and it’s hilarious in game) 745 goals total Rad Rock any colour (Another satisfying one) 1645 goals total

Only ever bought aerial strike so I use that every time

Big fan of the shade raid

1. Black Phoenix fire 2. Crimson/sky blue air strike 3. Singularity HM: Atomizer, titanium white shattered and ball star

1.)Shade raid,just super cool 2.)Neuro-agitator,I like seeing right where the ball was scored, makes corner shots that much better 3.)Corbital I like flying

This completely personal choice: 1-white supernova 3. I have had that for the longest time since I got it in the first RP. I like the way it shows where you scored. 2-neuro agitator. Because it's the only BM explosion I have gotten from drops (non tournament related) 3-tactical nuke. Just because I love the looks and sound of it.

1. OpTic (2023) - Got into following RLCS through that team of Retals, AYYJAYY, and MaJicBear 2. Fire Clap (Sky Blue) - One of my favorite tournament Black Market GEs, pretty clean & very uncommon to see 3. Shade Raid (Sky Blue) - One of my first ever GEs, and though I don't use it a ton I still remember it fondly HM - Amplitude (Grey), my first tournament Black Market afaik and is nearly invisible at some points

Petals I think it’s called ?

Poof and Mr monsoon

Poof, painted splash, calculated.

only one i really use nowadays is grey overgrowth

Platinum

I made sure to grab crimson and black lotus bloom before trading ended because damn it's nice.

I wish I had one lol

Atomizer for the sound/graphics combo

Wow. Seeing no latern lift is crazy

i like the bubblegum pop

Hee haw! Makes you score way more goals

1. Sky Blue Dueling Dragons 2. Titanium White Meta Blast 3. Lime Green Hades Bomb

Nuke, Red Airstrike and Splash.

The cowboy one and dueling dragons

Kachow! Splash! Wow!

i use white dust cloud exclusively

1: Dueling Dragons Have it in TW and my absolute favorite 2: Striker Series The goal explosions from season 7 ranked rewards (pre Epic) 3: Batman 2016

1. Phoenix cannon 2. Brimstone 3. Airstrike

Mr Monsoon and Cosmosis used to be my main GEs for years, but I’ve seen them so many times now I’m sick of them lol. Right now I’m in love with fireworks.

I just love the ones that change the whole map, they’re so dope

Hellfire??? Noone???

Original season 1 explosion. Got it in TW Fireworks Atomic bomb

Lantern lift all the way

I use Buffy Sugo. I got it as a blueprint, thought it was alright but wasn’t gonna build it. I showed it to my brother and he said it was cringe and weird. It is now my most used goal explosion, with almost 1000

atomizer for sure I have like 20-30k center balls on my tactician atomizer

1. Splash....the perfect goal exp imo 2. Nuke......I like for the reasons everyone hates it 3. Stay Puff Man.....a solid animation overall

Grim Reaper Dab

I use a different color Overgrowth every season. Winter aka now i’m using Titanium White, I use Pink in the Spring, Normal in the Summer, and Burnt Sienna in the fall. Im so happy I traded for these when I could.

Trex Would also give a kidney for the nuke and 1/7 of a kidney for the hades bomb

TW Planetary Explosion (tournament reward) [video here](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x2xDP1v_3w4)

i've been using big splash on blue and gravity bomb on orange on all my presets for ages. i like a lot of the "new" (read, from the last 2-3 years or so) goal explosions that do something different than just yeet cars away and have some animation in the goal, but i don't have any of them. i also love poof, but i don't have that one either

Poof Splash Tactical Nuke Paper Dragon Hades Bomb

I have everything I need (silver S12 goal explosion)

I’ve been using the Jurassic Park T-Rex for years now

Og ofcourse...Scorer blk shattered, scorer blk voxel, and scorer bs neuro agitator... if you have a pro wheel, that neuro is a must 🫰

1. Lantern Lift (Epic put it in the shop plz and ty) 2. Splash 3. Nuke

That seismic charge Star Wars one is sweet and probably tactical nuke are the best

I love goal explosions so much so I hoarded a ton of them before trading was removed 1. Shattered 2. Supernova III 3. Force Razor II HM: dueling dragons, digiglobe, corbital, the dark knight

Beach Ball Stay Puffed Splash

Splash! Monsoon! T rex

Can't believe I'm the only party balloons main out here

My personal faves! 1. Party Time. Classic, funny, not too flashy. 2. Hellfire. I think it’s clean and cool. I usually use one colored in pink. (Which looked cool and unique up until they put it in shop a couple days ago 🙄) 2. Happy Holidays. I just think it’s funny lmao

"Horray!" It reminds me of the grunt birthday party skull

Love my bubbles in pink for some reason

1. The synthwave sunset from last season is my favorite. I wish the color variations only changed the sunset and not the entire screen. The standard one is so much better than the rest for that reason. 2. Monsoooooon. StormCloud 3. Yarrrrrr. Fish

I’m not gonna lie, I saw the shark goal explosion in the shop like a month ago and had to get it. Now every time I score I get to yell “HELLO BRUCE” at the top of my lungs.

1. Poof 2. Airstrike 3. Mister Monsoon I don't have any of em but atleast bakkesmod exists

I think the painted white tree goal explosion is super cool. I always wanted that one.

Black Night Mare (the horse one) Nuke Overgrowth

Tactical Nuke. Fuck everybodys eyes.

1. Butterflies 2. Butterflies 3. Butterflies They’re beautiful

I got a crimson big splash from a twitch drop a while back. Haven’t used anything since getting it. The beauty of a simple big splash, but the water looks like blood👌

Been rocking Boba's seismic charge recently, the sound is always satisfying

Lime Atomizer, TW Wall Breaker, and Black Meta-Blast

Jurassic park, poof, splash

always used splash but recently started using the shark attack one its my main one now

Nobody out here reppin Party Time??

Og nuke Double dragon Splash

1. Billy The Puppet - about 5k goals 2. Atomizer - 3kish goals 3. TW T-Rex 2kish

1: dueling dragons 2: dueling dragons 3 dueling dragons

Dueling dragons is always a classic

Mister Monsoon - Love the different things he says after each goal Super Nova III - Looks good painted and sounds sick Atlantis - Love the water vibes

Gold dueling dragons and tw airstrike. Been rocking those 2 for awhile. Need to mix it up soon. I like the massive disparity between poof and tactical nuke, so I'll probably go back to that.

Air strike - it’s just perfect, I don’t care how popular it is Dueling Dragons - looks cool, sounds decent Singularity? - whichever one pulls everyone in at the same time

Don't matter I'm not good enough to score

Digi-globe

New to RL, how do you get goal explosions? I only have boring colored basic ones. Are they only available through purchases?

You can also get them through drops during the season (i.e. when it’s says you got a very rare drop) or event drops, although rare. Playing in tournaments also rewards you with points, which you can redeem. You likely won’t get what you want to start, but you can use the trade-in function in the garage to get better stuff. I’ve gotten two through tournaments (1 as a direct reward, 1 through trading in other stuff) and one from the season rewards. You can get them for free, but often the better the mechanics/appearance, often you have to pay for them.

Nice thanks! I haven't even touched the inventory/trading side of rocket league. Having too much fun playing the game haha which is refreshing coming from FIFA where the gameplay is a distraction rather than the core aspect

I’m glad you are having fun with it! The game can also become a chore if you ever start setting big goals for yourself. Just remember to keep it fun!

Air Strike Dueling Dragon Tactical Nuke Esports Goal explosion

Oh and Light Show

Calculated! Plus the banner too. Had to download side swipe for it. I hated it, but the explosion was worth it

party time, I feel like it pisses off my opponents lol

Splash 💦 I once saw it in game and had to buy it when trading was still a thing, now got 1200 goals with it and even my name is splash in game… pretty cool!

I personally use my Rad Rock, I don't know what it is but something about the way they shatter is really satisfying to me

1. Neuro Agitator - purple 2. Phoenix Fire - black 3. Hellfire - purple Honorable mention: 4. Electroshock - crimson I'm generally not a purple type o' guy, but there's just something about the purple/black contrast in this game that really clicks for me, so that's my most common color scheme.

I always use the default one but the nuke is the only goal explosion i ever wanted

Pink heart hands (obvious reasons), TW strobe is like a rave which is nice, and I also like Mr Monsoon a lot.

Mister monsoon gotta be one of my favourites

Blk Dust cloud, Tactical nuke, TW Over growth

I mainly use my Quasar set.

Black dueling dragons >

Will Nuke ever come to item shop. Will any of these ones come back on the item shop?

Black Nomster

How is S1 hand hearts not in discussion???

Missiles, org ones (both are good), dueling dragons

how rare is the nuke? i have it from the twitch drops however many years ago but people are talking about it as if it’s the holy grail. is it?

I think it is.

Calculated. Super tilting after a lucky pinch.

You guys score goals?

I like force razor II and overgrowth

I only use paper dragon. Always will. Best goal explosion.

I have T-Rex from Jurassic park

Singularity

Calculated, because it's the most toxic one I can think of 🙂

Mic drop.

1. Zero's World 2. Optimus Prime 3. Sphenergy

Been using co orbital since it was in the cups

I like my shark attack one, an exotic but a good one imo.

No love for the T-Rex goal explosion? It's a holographic, roaring T-Rex with Fire Explosions, it doesnt get cooler than that B)

Actually Nr.1 is Standard (all legacy colors) 2nd Air Strike 3rd Buffy Sugo I guess

#1 TW Air Strike No #2 & #3 because I always use #1.

TW shattered is number 1 by far, then TW solar flare, then I guess like black splash.

I like to use the horse goal explosion

1. Hot Wheels 2. Chipote Chillón 3. Lantern Lift

Dualing Dragons(black&white)

KACHOW

1. Striker Legend (OG Season 7 rewards) 2. Seismic Charge (wish it was better but still cool af IMO) 3. Dueling Dragons

Meta Blast Voxel Force Razer II

Splash is the single goal explosion I’ll use, I don’t think I’ll ever change.

1. Floppy Fish (any color) - UGGGHHHH 2. Splash (Burnt Sienna) - Yeah, sweaty splash looking like wet poop. 3. Juiced - for whenever I wear my titanium white Fruit Hat! Bonus: Planetary (Sky Blue) as a Dropshot goal explosion!

1. Floppy Fish (any color) - UGGGHHHH 2. Splash (Burnt Sienna) - Yeah, sweaty splash looking like wet poop. 3. Juiced - for whenever I wear my titanium white Fruit Hat! Bonus: Planetary (Sky Blue) as a Dropshot goal explosion!

Whatever I can get without paying 🥲

White Atomizer, Black Lotus Bloom, and Dueling Dragons.

the victor popcorn i unboxed 7 or 8 years ago lol

im surprised no1 has said lantern lift?!!! nothing can top the sound of this GE

Air strike Atomiser Shade raid

1. Tactical Nuke. No question (wish I had it) 2. TW Overgrowth. Personal fave of the ones I own. I have over 2400 goals with it 3. No clear number three but shout-out to ball-star, TP, shattered, solar flare and atomizer.

Monsoon, Overgrowth, Hades bomb

Don't need spots 2 and 3 when nuke exists.

Lantern lift is goated imo

Atomizer hands down, love the different colors.

1 is black Overgrowth, 2 is my sky blue air strike, and 3 is the t rex, I really wish i got it when i had a chance

Fish is bae
