The Octane is an original Rocket League car that has become the most popular vehicle in the game due to its’ competitive hitbox and variety of cosmetic options. We’ve compiled a list of the best designs for the Octane battle-car that we hope you use for inspiration ideas when creating your next preset.
The Titanium Nightmare with Fire God Decal
Drop into a lobby with this design and your opponents will know you mean business.
- Body: Octane (Titanium White)
- Decal: Fire God
- Wheels: Dire Wolf (Titanium White)
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice
- Goal Explosion: Night-Mare
- Topper: Corbital (Titanium White)
- Antenna: Fenrir II (Titanium White)
- 1st Paint Finish: B4: Row B / Color 4
- 2nd Paint Finish: A1: Row A / Color 1
The Titanium Nightmare is an ultra-expensive Octane design for those who want to go all-out. The four Titanium White items and Fire God decal are a hefty investment, but you will be rewarded with one of the coolest-looking cars in the game.
The Hologram with Framework Decal
Hypnotize your opponents with this futuristic design.
- Body: Octane (Sky Blue)
- Decal: Framework (Octane)
- Wheels: Dey KC Schematized (Sky Blue)
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice
- Goal Explosion: HoloData (Sky Blue)
- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: D4: Row D / Color 4
- 2nd Paint Finish: E9: Row E / Color 9
The Hologram battle-car uses a short shopping list of Sky Blue items to create an unforgettable design. We love this design because you can swap Sky Blue for your favorite color and the car will still look amazing.
The Stealth Bomber with NRG Esports Decal
Fly under the radar with this stealthy preset.
- Body: Octane (Grey)
- Decal: NRG Esports (Legacy) (Octane)
- Wheels: Dieci (Black)
- Rocket Boost: Flamethrower (Black)
- Goal Explosion: Dueling Dragons (Black)
- Topper: Halo (Black)
- Antenna: Mage Glass III (Black)
- 1st Paint Finish: G8: Row G / Color 8
- 2nd Paint Finish: G1: Row G / Color 1
The Stealth Bomber is an all-black design with a rugged attitude. Besides the Black Halo and Dueling Dragons goal explosion, the other items on this list should be relatively cheap to buy.
Eye of the Storm with Storm Watch Decal
The forecast says this design might create a vortex on the field.
- Body: Octane (Saffron)
- Decal: Storm Watch
- Wheels: Hypnotik (Saffron)
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice
- Goal Explosion: Chromatic Hollow
- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: D1: Row D / Color 1
- 2nd Paint Finish: G1: Row G / Color 1
The Eye of the Storm design can be used with any color combination but we think Saffron makes the overall aesthetic pop off the screen. The Hypnotik wheels, one of the best wheels in Rocket League, will probably be the priciest item here.
The Rainbow Racer with Yonder’s Fleece Decal
Every goal will be a festive celebration when you score with the Rainbow Racer.
- Body: Octane (Crimson)
- Decal: Yonder’s Fleece (Octane)
- Wheels: Blade Wave: Inverted

- Goal Explosion: Party Time
- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: G8: Row G / Color 8
- 2nd Paint Finish: G1: Row G / Color 1
The Rainbow Racer is one of the cheaper cars on this list and it’s a great starting point for anyone looking to try out the Octane. Rainbow-party vibes tell everyone in the lobby that you're just trying to have a good time.
The Flash with Mainframe Decal
When your W/L ratio needs saving, call the Superhero for help.

- Decal: Mainframe (Saffron)
- Wheels: The Flash
- Rocket Boost: Player’s Choice

- Topper: Player’s Choice
- Antenna: Player’s Choice
- 1st Paint Finish: D8: Row D / Color 8
- 2nd Paint Finish: G1: Row G / Color 1
The Flash wheels are the foundation of many great designs centered around Saffron and Crimson painted items. Saffron Mainframe, one of the best decals in Rocket League, will be expensive but well worth the price.
The Crimson Phantom with Ghost Gaming Decal
Who you gonna call?
- Body: Octane (Crimson)
