Fortnite Rocket Racing: How to Get 100% Starting Boost

As part of Fortnite's latest chapter, Epic Games has added three brand new modes to the platform --and none of them are battle royale-related. You can now enjoy LEGO Fortnite, a Minecraft-esque survival crafting game; there's also a music-based mode called Fortnite Festival; and last but not least, Rocket Racing is a fast-paced racing game developed by the Rocket League developers.

In Rocket Racing, you can choose your style of vehicle and race against other players online on dozens of courses and win races to increase your ranking for the season. Rocket Racing is in season zero, but once season one rolls around in 2024, there will be more tracks, modes, and content to look forward to. If you're looking to fully understand how to get ahead of the game and get a 100% start boost, this guide will explain how it all works.

How to Get a Starting Boost in Rocket Racing

When you're starting a race in Rocket Racing, the countdown will appear, and then four circles will pop up that will start to turn red (from left to right). The fourth circle will turn green, and that's when the race begins. In order to get a starting boost in Rocket Racing, you must hold down the accelerate button (right trigger) right before the fourth circle lights up. It might take a couple of tries to get it down right, but it should be second nature once you practice.

How to Get a 100% Starting Boost

To get the perfect 100% starting boost, you have to nail the timing of the accelerate button. The game will still give you a percentage of the boost if you come close (like a 95% boost, for example), but getting 100% will be the best way to ensure you get ahead of the other cars, at least at the start of the race.
