Dev Stream

The Brawlhalla Dev Streams are live streams hosted by the Devs on the official Brawlhalla Twitch account. As of 2024, the stream is live every Tuesday at 1 pm EST, with obligatory exceptions. Each stream lasts for one hour on average.

Historically, Dev streams occurred multiple times per week, going live on Mondays and Fridays, and sometimes Thursdays, in addition to the current Tuesday schedule.

For a more accurate schedule with other streams listed, see the Brawlhalla stream calendar.

Viewership Rewards

Viewership Rewards are available for those who watch dev streams. Specific dev stream tracks can be progressed by watching a dev stream, and will grant codes for items at 2 hours, 8 hours, and 16 hours of dev streams watched. Unlike Esports reward tracks, these items are not exclusive and can be otherwise purchased from the Store. After about 2 to 3 months, the current dev stream track will be swapped out for a new track with different rewards.

In addition to dev stream tracks, Esport tracks are sometimes available. If there was a tournament held on the weekend with a viewership reward track, there will typically be a re-run of the stream after the Monday Esports dev stream. This re-run will last a few hours and give viewers a final chance to complete an Esport viewership reward track before it disappears forever.

Charity Streams

In special occasions, Friday's dev stream will be replaced with a charity stream. These streams last 12 hours, and raise money in donations for a select organization - which BMG will match up to a certain amount. Additionally, these streams are not limited to Brawlhalla and feature the devs playing various other games.

Like other streams, charity streams feature unique Viewership Reward tracks, typically featuring Community Colors and unique weapon skins as rewards.

Giveaways

Giveaways are sometimes hosted on dev streams, however they have become less prominent since the implementation of Viewership Rewards. In the past, however, giveaways were common in the form of Community Color giveaways and the "Bigaway".

The "Bigaway", short for "big giveaway", is a giveaway that would occur at the end of most Dev Streams. These stopped occurring around October of 2020. During this giveaway, every user viewing the stream would be placed in a list, with users being selected from a random scrolling list. Winners would be whispered their prizes at the end of the stream - these prizes included CCs, Metadevs and sometimes other non-exclusive cosmetics. The Devs decided how many winners there would be on a stream-by-stream basis.

For most of the Bigaway's life, the Lachhh Tools program would be used to determine winners of the Bigaway. Fewer winners would be selected (typically only one or two), however if a dev, moderator or bot was selected, the winner would be re-rolled and an additional winner would be selected. This would also apply if "PPGAK" was selected, a word which was sometimes manually added to increase the chances of an extra giveaway. Once a winner is selected, they would have 55 seconds to type in chat and claim their prize - otherwise, a different winner would be selected. This format was changed in late 2019 so many more winners would be selected and participants would not have to type in chat to claim their prize.

For Community Colors, the Twitch account "ProBrawlhalla" would be used as a bot, and would randomly select users every 7 minutes while the stream is live, and whisper the winning users a code to unlock Community Colors. A CC code would also be given to anyone who won a Bigaway.
