Brand New Missions for Battle Pass
Season 9 introduces several new missions to complete!

- Earn Battle Gems by completing missions to earn rewards!
- Battle Gems measure a player’s progress toward the next reward tier.
- Unlocking the Gold track will grant boosters for more opportunities to earn Battle Gems and rewards.
Earn Battle Gems to Level Up
Each week, new missions unlock new opportunities to earn more Battle Gems while still allowing previous missions to be completed.
- Battle Gems are earned by completing missions in matchmaking games except for Brawl of the Week.
- Players can get even more Battle Gems just by playing Brawlhalla. Any matchmaking game rewards Battle Pass XP that advances the “Earn Battle Pass XP” mission.
- Completing the mission gives players Gems and a new more challenging “Earn Battle Pass XP” mission.
Seekers can unlock over 100 new rewards during the season, so get ready to start brawling!
Players may also use Mammoth Coins to increase progress along the track while the season is active.
Known Issues (Post Launch)
We’re aware that the Avatar unlocked at Tier 2 of the Free Pass is not showing up in players’ Inventories unless they own the Gold Pass. All players will be able to access the Avatar after a fix goes live. All other Items are working as intended.
New Blasters & Lance Challenges
Introducing 2 new bread-n-butter challenges, one for Rocket Lance and another for Blasters! Both allow players a chance to hone their abilities with classic combos for these Weapons.
Blasters BnB
- 2 noteworthy combos to utilize with Blasters!
- Note that Down Light into Side-Air is true at almost all health ranges while Down Light into Side-Light is useful at lower health ranges.
Rocket Lance BnB
- It’s time to practice true combos! This challenge features 2 brand new true combos with Rocket Lance.
- Note that landing these combos leave you with a huge positional advantage so keep up the pressure!
New Test Feature: Perfect Dodge
In tandem with Hold-to-Dodge, we’re adding Perfect Dodge to Brawlhalla to reward players for perfectly timing their dodges rather than mashing or holding the Dodge input.
Perfect Dodge
- You can perform a “Perfect Dodge” by timing a single Dodge input at the precise moment you exit hitstun, reducing your Dodge cooldown by 20 frames.
- The 3 frame input buffer still applies to the Dodge input, giving you a total timing window of 4 frames.
- The Dodge input can not be mashed or held.
- Note that the Special FX may change in the future.
Game Improvements
General
- Sponsored videos available on Ubisoft Connect.
- Introducing a new, easier bot difficulty: Pushover. This is intended for players who may be brand new to the platform fighting genre and want to continue their practice on a more mobile Bot compared to the Training mode dummy.
- Buddy Emotes now display on the Battle Pass track AND in Mallhalla![1]
UI
- Added an explore page to view and unlock the Deluxe and/or Gold Battle Passes. Available on all platforms except Switch.
