DLC #131 - Rocket League - Champions Field

Since it's still early, and this was something I failed to mention within the previous Utopia Coliseum review some of these Rocket League DLC lists do not actually hold much relevance to the update they're part of, and many of the trophies seem to exist to purely incentivise the wider game.

Champions Field is a good example of this. An update to the game which marked the 2 year anniversary of Rocket League, and purely adds the new Champions Field arena, played on the standard Soccar game mode. There isn't anything particular stellar about the new arena, and there aren't even any new car models or customisation models added. It's just a new location to enjoy some Rocket League games at, though it does come with 2 weather variants which slightly change the atmosphere.

Despite what is a very minimalist update, this pack still contains 6 trophies within, though most of these are attached to random feats, and hold no relevance to this specific pack (as mentioned at the top of this piece). This is quite a common theme throughout these Rocket League DLC trophy lists, so expect similar commentary going forward for a handful of these packs.

It's also important to point out that, because these trophies are not always specific to the pack they've been bundled into, any prior progress towards them will count towards the trophy were applicable to anything accumulative, which could mean retrospectively unlocking them without requiring any further progress, or much shorter journeys towards unlocking them based on existing progress.

For 2 of the 6 trophies, you will be required to venture over to Champions Field. Jumping into an Online game and finishing will net you a trophy, as will completing the game on the stormy variant of the arena whilst you've got a Very Rare item equipped. This could be a notable caveat, as you'll need to either earn a Very Rare item or trade another player for one, but I had already obtained a few from my prior progress, so this wasn't a problem.

Speaking of trading items, you can also unlock a further 2 trophies for performing certain actions within the trade system. This will include swapping an item with another player, but this is easy enough to do with someone on your friends list.

You will need to play out a full compliment of placement matches for the "Rank Up" trophy, which is 10 in total, and can be applied to any competitive playlist of your choosing, and this can be played out in tandem with the "Coming On Strong" trophy, awarded for Scoring or Assisting a combined 30 goals or assists in Casual or Competitive Online matches.

As mentioned above, prior progress will count towards these trophies, but if you're starting from scratch, the latter will more than likely outlast the former, as this is a ratio of 3 goals/assists per game, which is quite high. It is also important to note this combined total of 30 also needs to be in Online game modes, so it's not like you can just boot up a few matches against offline bots of low difficulty and score past them quickly, so you'll need to either be good, or at the very least, patient.

I had to play through 10 placement matches, but got the 30 combined goals/assists within a couple of these games, purely down to prior progress. Even if you're not that great at the game, a total of 30 combining both goals and assists, which the game does give away very generously sometimes, will only be a matter of time within the worst case scenario. One of the easier packs within this selection of DLC content.
