Maps, Game Modes & Rotation Changes

Hunters is the returning game mode based on player votes and will replace Duels for the next few months.

We’re also using this time when there aren’t any official competitions to make bigger changes in the map pool for most game modes where enough maps were in the backlog - so the map rotation should feel rather fresh.

The MEGA Pig event will now also feature new maps!

Since there are so many changes, we will focus on the new maps added to the game and won’t go into details on the removed maps.

  • 5v5 Brawl Ball - It plays sideways! Also, the goals are considerably bigger, but with more defenders to get through, that won’t make scoring easier!

  • 5v5 Wipeout - Plays the same as the classic mode, but you play on a bigger map and need more eliminations to win!

  • 5v5 Gem Grab - Some maps feature 2 Gem Spawn points for twice the mayhem!

    • A Mythic Starr Drop has been added in between the Legendary Starr Drops at every 5,000 Trophies

In-game Optional Ads

We’re rolling out an experiment in some regions of the world with optional video ads. These ads are designed in a way that aims not to disturb the typical gameplay experience; instead, they will offer players a way to obtain additional perks such as an additional Daily Quest, more daily Battle XP, or an additional daily freebie in the Shop.

Players with active Brawl Pass will already benefit from these perks and won’t be served ads.

Depending on how these optional ads perform within these testing regions, we may roll out this feature to additional regions later in 2024.

Win Streaks

  • Earn bonus Trophies for each consecutive win in Trophy matches

  • Win streaks begin at 2 wins and each consecutive win grants +1 Trophy, up to a cap of +5 Trophies

  • In Solo Showdown, finishing in 6th-10th position is considered a loss, 5th position is a draw

  • In Duo Showdown, finishing in 4th-5th position is viewed as a loss, 3rd position is a draw

  • Win streaks are only broken when losing a match (so draws will not break your streak)

Other Changes

  • You can now receive and store Skins for Brawlers you don’t own! These can be accessed from the Catalog

  • Now you can report Player names, Club names, Club descriptions and Club mail messages more easily from within the game

  • Club mail messages now auto-expire after 14 days

  • You can now sort Brawlers by Mastery in the Brawler screen

  • Credits can no longer be stored and once a Brawl Pass season ends, all the unclaimed Credits from that season will go either to the Brawler currently being unlocked, to the new Brawler being released alongside the new season, or to Fame
