Brawlhalla Patch 8.05 Adds Battle Pass Season 9 and Perfect Dodge

Brawlhalla Patch 8.05 kicks off Battle Pass Season 9 with 85 tiers of apocalypse-themed rewards, introduces a new Perfect Dodge test feature, and brings in fresh training challenges for Blasters and Rocket Lance.

Brawlhalla Patch 8.05 launches Battle Pass Season 9, themed around an apocalyptic wasteland featuring four horseman-inspired skins for Munin, Roland, Barraza, and Reno. Alongside the new season, developers added a test feature called Perfect Dodge, new training challenges for weapon combos, and bug fixes.

Battle Pass Season 9 Content

Season 9 runs for 12 weeks and introduces 85 tiers of unlockable rewards across free, gold, and deluxe tracks. Players can earn Battle Gems through weekly, daily, and general missions in matchmaking queues. Rewards include weapon skins based on the Deathly Presence Munin set, the Wu Shang progression skin, the Truth progression podium, and a new map variation called Chasm, which features 1v1 and bespoke Brawl of the Week modes.

Combat Updates and Test Features

The update introduces a new test feature called Perfect Dodge. Players who time a single dodge input precisely as they exit hitstun receive a 20-frame reduction to their dodge cooldown. The mechanic includes a 4-frame timing window and does not allow button mashing. Additionally, two new training challenges are available for Rocket Lance and Blasters to help players practice true combos.

Game Modes and Quality of Life

Dice & Destruction returns with a 3-minute 1v1 mode where the stage slowly crumbles away. For beginners, a new Pushover bot difficulty is available for practice. Matchmaking bug fixes resolve issues where player teams appeared in incorrect colors during 2v2 modes and ensure KOs on specific small maps now correctly count toward Battle Pass mission progress.

Why this patch matters

Patch 8.05 provides content through its 12-week Battle Pass season while introducing technical adjustments via the Perfect Dodge test feature and combo challenges.
