There are also special Lunar New Year loot boxes to open called Golden Lanterns for those feeling especially lucky. This guide will highlight the rarest items in Rocket League’s 2021 Golden Lanterns.
How to get Golden Lanterns
To receive a Golden Lantern loot box, you will need to finish 20 matches. Unlike the other challenges available during this event, you can repeat this challenge up to five times. So you will have to play 100 games in total to get every loot box before the event ends on March 1st. You can also pick up more Golden Lanterns by buying them for 150-200 credits on the market.
