When starting the game for the first time, you will be presented with two on-screen touch buttons. One to launch a speed boost and the other to jump. By chaining several online games of Rocket League Sideswipe, you will understand that it is possible to use certain techniques by associating the two keys requiring the use of two fingers on the screen, which can be difficult for some of the players in the game. the heat of the moment!

In the settings of Rocket League Sideswipe on your mobile, look for a red button (in configure controls) that you must click and then check the option "Enabled" . This third secret and strategic command will allow you to jump and boost at the same time when you press on it. It's really practical !


Tip 2 - How to access the secret menu that activates the cheat codes:

This trick won't make you a Rocket League Sideswipe pro, but we think it's relevant since it allows you to activate "cheat" codes . When you are in the game menus, click on "other settings" and select "credits" . Scroll through all the credits in the game to the bottom with your finger and stop at the mention "special thanks". Under this message you will see "You" . Click on it to bring up the "secret menu" of Rocket League Sideswipe. Here you can enter codes… Here are already two!

Tip 3 - You can dismantle your duplicate items to collect SP coins:

When you are in the main menu of Rocket League Sideswipe, take a tour of your personal garage and click on the icon at the top right of your screen (forming several small squares) to access all the items you own. Here you can choose to dismantle some of your items to collect SP Coins which you can then spend in the Rocket League Sideswipe store. The parts you get depend on the rarity of the item you want to dismantle. This option is very convenient, especially if you have a few duplicates that you want to get rid of.


Tip 4 - You can play Rocket League Sideswipe privately with your friends here is how:

Many players who are starting their careers in Rocket League Sideswipe are wondering if it is possible to play the game privately by inviting friends over. It's entirely possible. For this you will need to link your Epic Games account to Rocket League Sideswipe and your friends will need to do the same on their end.

Tip 5 - You can display your Ping and FPS of the game on your mobile:

If you are concerned to know the performance of your device with the game Rocket League Sideswipe, you can activate the display of FPS from the interface of "graphics" . You will then know if your device holds the 60FPS well depending on the quality of the graphics you have chosen. If you do not stick to 60 FPS and your game is not smooth on your device, you will need to lower the graphics quality of Rocket League Sideswipe. Better fluidity will make your games more comfortable. Likewise, activating your network information will allow you to preview your ping at the bottom left of the screen. The lower your ping, the better the latency.

Tip 6 - Use the technique of Air Roll (air barrel) for better control of the ball:

While playing Rocket League Sideswipe you can try to apply the technique of Air Roll (the air barrel). When used, this technique can give you better control of the ball when doing jumps. The ball will tend to stick to your car instead of going very far, which will allow you to guide it directly into the cages of your opponents. Be careful, however, you will need a little training to master Air Roll (the air barrel).. Get into free play training mode and jump in place. Immediately press the joystick twice without moving it and your car will spin around on itself in the air. Now it's up to you to train yourself to apply this technique in movement and take advantage of this movement which is not explained by the game!

Tip 7 - Control your car well in the air while playing Rocket League Sideswipe:

You will notice that two colored arrows appear around your car when you are playing. The blue arrow shows you the front of your body while the pink / purple arrow shows you the direction you are pointing your joystick. These visual indicators are to be taken into account when playing a Rocket League Sideswipe match. For example, if you are in the air, point the joystick up to slow the fall of your vehicle while if you want to initiate a rapid descent, just point the joystick down. The arrow indicator will let you figure it out while playing.

Tip 8 - You can play Rocket League Sideswipe by connecting a gamepad:

The touchscreen unfortunately has its own limitations, so we strongly recommend that you connect a gamepad when playing Rocket League Sideswipe if you can. You will have better control of your vehicle, you can more easily apply advanced techniques such as Air Roll (air barrel) . Playing Rocket League Sideswipe by connecting a controller changes everything and gives you a real advantage over players who only play touch.
