What is the trade-in feature in Rocket League?

The trade-in system allows you to exchange five items of the same rarity to receive one randomly drawn item of the next-highest rarity. However, not all items are eligible for the trade-in system.

  • The item intended for trade-in was earned as part of an item drop and/or trade and;
  • The item is a duplicate, independent of the rarity (i.e. you can have the same item in different rarities and it counts as a duplicate).

If your items meet these requirements, here is how to trade in:

  1. In the main lobby click on the Garage sub-menu.
  2. Select Trade-in. All items from your inventory eligible for trade-ins will be organized into 3 categories listed below. The items in each category will be organized by rarity and show you how many trade-ins you can make.
    • Core Items
    • Tournament Items
    • Blueprints
  3. Select the rarity of the item or blueprint that you want to trade in, and select 5 items from your inventory that will be used up permanently in exchange for another item of the rarity above.
    Note: This means that, for every five Base items that are traded in, one random Special item is drawn in exchange, and so on!
  4. Click on Accept, and confirm that you want to trade in the selected items. The 5 items will be used in exchange for 1 item of a higher rarity.
    Note: You can repeat this process to obtain higher-rarity items such as Imports, Exotics, or Black Market items.

Notes:

  • If an item is marked as a favorite it will not appear in the Trade-In Menu.
  • Trade-ins are not reversible, and Player Support cannot assist with this.

To account for Cross-Game ownership, the Trade-In system has undergone some changes to its functionality. To learn more about the cross-game item trade-ins, please refer to the following blog post: PATCH NOTES: V2.34 (Opens in a new tab)
