The Battle Bus from Fortnite has become one of Rocket League’s most iconic crossover vehicles. This guide explains everything you need to know, from how to get the free Battle Bus in Rocket League to how it links with Fortnite.

What is the Battle Bus in Rocket League?

The Battle Bus is a playable Octane-style RL car body modeled after the flying bus from Fortnite. It uses the Merc hitbox, one of the bulkier types in Rocket League, giving it a solid, heavy feel.

How to get the Titanium White Battle Bus

The Titanium White Battle Bus was offered free during a limited-time promotion (June 8 to June 13, 2023). This item was available only during the event window. If you missed it, the Battle Bus is not currently obtainable.

Missed the campaign?

Unfortunately, the promotion has ended. Players who didn’t claim the Titanium White version between June 8–13, 2023, can’t unlock it now. However, there's a chance Epic Games will:

  • Re-run the offer in the future
  • Release the Battle Bus in the Item Shop (either in Rocket League or Fortnite)

Fortnite crossover: What unlocks?
