The Nexus battle car was added to Rocket League in November of 2021 with the Season 5 Rocket Pass. The Nexus SC, a variant of the Nexus obtained after Rocket Pass level 70, is the only Nexus body that can be painted. Below is a list of our top design ideas for the Nexus that we hope you consider when creating your next preset.
The Green Ghoul with Hyperspace Decal
Be the scariest car on the pitch with the Green Ghoul.
- Body: Nexus
- Decal: Hyperspace (Nexus)
- Wheels: CNTCT-1: Infinite
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice
- Goal Explosion: Reaper
- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: A3: Row A / Color 3
- 2nd Paint Finish: G1: Row G / Color 1
The Green Ghoul, like the other designs on this list, utilizes one of the fantastic preset decals for the Nexus. This item list contains no painted items so it shouldn’t be too hard to source what you need to create this design.
The Neon Knight with Huntress Decal
Stand out from the crowd with the Neon Knight design.
- Body: Nexus
- Decal: Huntress (Nexus)
- Wheels: Galaxial
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice
- Goal Explosion: Phoenix Cannon
- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: C10: Row C / Color 10
- 2nd Paint Finish: D9: Row D / Color 9
The Neon Night is the perfect design for anyone who wants a bright and flashy Nexus. The Sky Blue Phoenix cannon can be considered one of the best goal explosions in Rocket League and will probably be the most expensive item on this list.
Matte Marauder with Huntress Decal
This stealthy design flies under the radar.
- Body: Nexus
- Decal: Huntress (Nexus)
- Wheels: Esoto 4R: Inverted (Crimson)
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice
- Goal Explosion: Abracadabra (Crimson)
- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: E8: Row E / Color 8
- 2nd Paint Finish: G1: Row G / Color 1
The Matte Marauder uses the same decal as the Neon Knight with very different results. The Huntress decal combined with a matching Black 2nd Paint Finish creates unforgettable Crimson pinlines around the body of the vehicle.
The Magic Cloud with Ombre Decal
Pull a win out of your hat with the Magic Cloud.
- Body: Nexus
- Decal: Ombre (Nexus)
- Wheels: Optic
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice
- Goal Explosion: Poof
- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: B3: Row B / Color 3
- 2nd Paint Finish: D4: Row D / Color 4
The Magic Cloud is a budget-friendly Nexus design that looks more expensive than it is. The Optic wheels are not one of the most expensive wheels in Rocket League and it should be a breeze to find all the items for this car.
We hope these designs inspire you to step-up your cosmetic game in Rocket League and create something truly unique. For more designs like these, check out our best designs for the Nemesis and our hub for the top designs in Rocket League.
