Rocket League's new Blueprints get a price reduction

Black Market items are still the same price, but all the RL Items other rarities have been reduced.

Yesterday, I complained that after doing away with loot boxes, Rocket League's new Blueprint system still felt too expensive. True, it's cheaper to buy $20 worth of Credits and craft a Black Market Blueprint than it was to buy bucketfuls of keys to open crate after crate, but $20 for the privilege of using one animated decal doesn't feel like much of a deal either.

Today, Psyonix has lowered the prices on most Blueprints, which I suspected might happen. The price of Black Market items—which are the most desired—hasn't changed, however. They still cost 2,000-plus Credits, which can be purchased for $20 if you buy two packs of 1,100, or $25 if you splurge on 3,000 Credits and keep the leftovers for something else. Every other rarity, however, is cheaper. Here are the new prices:

Rare: 50-100 Credits,.

Very Rare: 100-200 Credits.

Import: 300-500 Credits.

Exotic: 700-800 Credits.

Most Paint Colors: 50-200 additional Credits.

Burnt Sienna: 0 additional Credits.

Titanium White: 100-500 additional Credits.

Special Editions: 200-400 additional Credits.

Ignoring the discount when you buy large amounts RL Credits of Credits, the conversion is about $1 per 100 credits. That puts unpainted Exotic items at $7 to $8, with another $0.50 to $5 tacked on for painted variants. For comparison, Exotics were $16 before the change.
