How to use faking in Rocket League?
- Either tell your teammate in team speak or quick chat, “Take the Shot” or “I Got It”.
- If you are close to the ball and your teammate says “I Got It”, then drive past the ball and don’t hit it.
- If you are further from the ball and your teammate says “Take the Shot” then you need to be available for the ball to be passed directly to you.
- More or less, the following needs to be done:
- One participant fakes the kickoff.
- The opposition hits the ball, which is then passed to a member of your team.
- The leading player advances.
- Now that the ball has been hit down the patch by the second player, the faker can catch it and score a goal.

What is faking in Rocket League?
When the player in front of you fakes going for the ball at kickoff but suddenly pulls away, that is a fake. To get the player’s teammates ready for the kickoff, this is coordinated using Quick Chat or possibly team speak. When simulating utilizing Quick Chat, there are a few things to know:
- I got it: If a teammate gives you this fast communication while you are in front, he is telling you to fake the kickoff to mislead the opposition and let a teammate steal the ball in the ensuing commotion.
- Take the shot: At kickoff, a player may instruct you to “Take the Shot” in several different ways. At kickoff, he could want you to sprint forward and attempt to snag the ball, but it’s a little different when you’re faking. “Take the Shot” is a common phrase used in Rocket League when a teammate wants to pretend and give you the ball since you are trailing.
In Quick Chat, people typically don’t use the word “faking”; instead, they’ll say “I Got It” or “Take the Shot” to signal whether you should make a fake or take the ball after your teammate does. It’s dangerous in either case, although it can be very helpful when trying to score an immediate goal. Let’s examine fooling in more detail for you. We’ll go into more detail later on, but for now, watch the video where we talked about Faking in Rocket League.
