Brawlhalla has released Patch 7.10 today, which includes quite the crossover for the free-to-play fighting game. Of course, Brawlhalla isn’t a stranger to crossover fighters, as developer Blue Mammoth Games has previously added characters from franchises like Shovel Knight, The Walking Dead, and the WWE, among several others. The latest crossover comes from the Halo franchise as both Master Chief and Arbiter are now in the game alongside the patch. On top of that, Brawhalla has gotten a new mode called Oddbrawl, which is inspired by Halo’s Oddball, along with several weapon skins, emotes, and avatars from the franchise.

That’s not all Brawlhalla fans have to look forward to during Patch 7.10 though. The developers have graduated the Downward Aerial Attack Consistency feature to work across all queues. The feature has previously been in testing, but now it’s available for everyone. Plus, Blue Mammoth has made a host of balance changes to the different characters, which should get Brawlhalla in line for Ranked Season 29 to start on July 19. Remember, Ranked Season 28 is available until then, so make sure to get your games in before that.

Downward Aerial Attack Consistency is graduating into all queues!ย 

This feature makes it easier to perform a downward attack without being platform canceled by a soft platform. Down Light or Down Signature attacks will ignore platform canceling when the down input is held for 4 or more frames.ย 

This prevents accidental platform cancels when a fastfall Down-Air or Ground-Pound was intended.

This patch contains Red Raptor’s first round of adjustments, which makes him legal for use in official tournaments beginning with the 2023 Summer Championship. Other general balance is locked for the upcoming Summer Championship.

Red Raptor

  • We have increased the Recover time on Red Raptor’s Neutral Orb for greater risk to better match its significant threat coverage. Red Raptor’s Side Orb now has greater Time to Hit, a slower maximum travel speed, less travel speed during its Recover time, and greater Recover time, allowing for more opportunity to dodge and punish this highly mobile signature. We have also reduced the Force for less reward to better match the high utility of this Signature.
  • Red Raptor Neutral Orb: Increased Recover time from 20 to 23.
  • Red Raptor Side Orb: Increased Time to Hit from 17 to 19; Decreased Force from 55 Fixed/50 Variable to 55 Fixed/48 Variable; Increased Recover time from 28 to 29; Decreased Maximum travel speed; Slightly decreased travel speed after the dismount.

Art & Animation

  • Fixed a visual bug where some animated Weapons didn’t play their entire animation while falling in the air or coming in contact with the ground.
  • Fixed a bug in the Image Render Tool where Weapon Skins looked blurry.

User Interface

  • Fixed a bug where it said “Unknown Game Mode” when mousing over different regions.

Art & Animation

  • The Blasters attachment in Isaiah’s Blasters Neutral & Side Signature attacks now color swap.
