The Synthwave Battle Pass is back and reloaded with an updated Reward track and several new missions. 

This classic season features new rewards like new Title Rewards, a Battle Boots Weapon Skin, and more. Plus, enjoy some exclusive rewards for those who already had their souls stolen by Retro Reaper Nix. 

Battle Pass Classic 2: Synthwave Reloaded also features:

  • A purchasable pass to the Gold Track with exclusive rewards like the Arcade Nights Progression Podium.
  • Players that bought the Gold Pass during the original run of Battle Pass Season 2 do not need to purchase it again.
  • All players are granted access to the Free Track and all the Weekly Missions!
  • A UI takeover featuring Retro Reaper Nix.
  • For all completionists, a new Avatar & Title Reward awaits you if you make it through all 85 tiers and complete all the missions!
  • Players who completed the original season will also receive unique Title rewards.

This update contains quality-of-life improvements for several underused Signatures on the least played Legends. This includes Vector’s new Down Rocket Lance Signature which has graduated from Test Features.

Ezio

We have reduced the Recover time on Ezio’s Side Orb as its overall risk and total commitment proved to be too long for its threat coverage compared to other Legends.

  • Ezio Side Orb: Decreased total Recovery time from 25 to 23.

Reno

Reno’s Neutral Orb now has less Recover time on miss for less risk given its role as an anti-air attack.

  • Reno Neutral Orb: Decreased total Recover time on miss from 21 to 19.

Sentinel

Sentinel’s Side Katars has received a significant increase to its visual size and threat coverage. This straight-forward Signature now has a total threat map that is closer in line with similar attacks on other Legends.

  • Sentinel Side Katars: Increased threat coverage; Increased size of visual FX.

Thor

Thor’s Side Orb often felt too stiff in the flow of a match, so we have increased the allowed momentum for more fluid use from general movement, dashes, and chase dodges.

  • Thor Side Orb: Slightly increased the maximum momentum allowed during the startup and first swing.

Vector
Vector’s Experimental Down Rocket Lance has graduated from Test Features! Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles. This allows for faster coverage of the area in front of Vector that the Side Rocket Lance cannot threaten, and provides an option that does not completely surrender positioning.

  • Vector Down Rocket Lance: Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles.

Yumiko

Yumiko’s Neutral Bow now has less Recover time to better fit its role as an anti-air attack, and to match its comparatively low priority.

  • Yumiko Neutral Bow: Decreased total Recovery time from 19 to 16.

 

The platforms for Bombsketball have been redesigned, including all-new art, animations when someone scores a goal, and timers for when a new bomb will spawn. The goals also have backboards, so you can try for a layup and other new strategies. Check it out in the 2v2 Bombsketball Brawl of the Week, Custom Online lobbies, or Offline Play.

Now, you can change your Color Scheme while training in Training mode just as easily as changing a Legend or Skin! 

  • In the “Settings” menu, we added a new row for changing your Color Scheme.
  • Depending on the Map chosen or the base colors of a Skin, if a Color Scheme conflicts with these items, an asterisk will be denoted next to the Color name.
  • This will help you understand the different Color exclusions within Brawlhalla!

We’ve introduced the new Ledge Cancel improvement Test Feature. Ledge Cancel Dashes will always be a forward dash, and it should be easier to diagonal dodge near a soft platform instead of accidentally Ledge Canceling. 

  • Ledge Cancel Dash always gives forward dash even when changing direction.
  • Ledge Cancel Dashes are slightly easier to perform, and are harder to do accidentally.

Please share all of your feedback with us on our socials like Twitter and Discord! For more information, visit brawlhalla.com/test-features.

This patch is also graduating 2 previous Test Features into all queues!

  • Vector’s Down Rocket Lance Signature Re-work: Vector now hops back and transforms into his jet form, then fires two sets of projectiles. This attack can be charged or slide charged for greater damage.
  • Disarm FX: A visual effect that shows when a Legend has been disarmed by an opponent. The effect appears as bright colored sparks that fly off the Legend. These FX are distinct from other collision visual FX.

Compete in stellar Rayman formation in a retrowave neon landscape! In Kung Foot anything goes as you kick, bash, and slash the ball through the opposing team’s goal in this 2v2 digital sports scene. First team to score 5 goals wins!

  • 2v2

  • 100% Damage

  • Fixed a bug with Boomerangs where it would remain in a spinning animation after hitting the floor.
  • Fixed a bug where Battle Boots’ Down Air damage did not trap enemies in a bubble in the Bubble Tag Game Mode.
