Patch 2.53

Welcome to Patch 2.53! We have a number of new items, user interface improvements, controller support, multikeyboard improvements, and bug fixes in this patch. While you enjoy this week we’re working hard on preparing Mordex and a number of other huge updates to next week’s patch! Don’t forget to swing by our Dev Streams on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 1PM ET on twitch.tv/brawlhalla to get a preview on what’s coming up with Brawlhalla.

Mallhalla

Imperial Chest is now available to open in Mallhalla with three exclusive skins. Death Adder Hattori Warrior Spirit Kor Yakuza Koji



Space Dogfighter Vraxx – “The lore is strong with this one.”

Dark Heart Scythe – “ The harvest has begun.”

Bragnarok East Avatar – “Brawlhalla: 1514. PAX East: 295. Stock count enshrined!”

Gameplay Improvements

We’ve heard feedback from several players asking us to reconsider the loss of mobility when a dodge is canceled into a wall. Movement from the dodge has been added back.

When a dodge is canceled on wall collision, it now keeps the movement of the dodge and only loses invulnerability.

Animation Improvements

Adjusted Teros Down Axe charge up pose to improve individuality and identification when compared to his other Axe signatures.

Animation adjustments to Teros Down Axe Sig.

Smoothing adjustments to Vraxx Select Screen animations.

User Interface

Main menu now retains cursor memory instead of always resetting back to the “Online” option.

Casual online options view has been updated to a new visual motif.

Updated the Report Bug screen to include a link to the Brawlhalla support website (brawlhalla.com/support/).

Main menu button options and tiles scaled up to better fit the empty space in the initial main menu view.

The scoreboard screen at the end of online games now shows your room number.

Updated UI menu background art to closer match the original aesthetic.

Controller Support

Dual analog controllers with sticks that click (e.g., Xbox and Playstation controllers) can now frame step in Training Mode and Replays. Clicking both sticks at the same time will pause/play. Clicking the left stick while paused will step back. Clicking the right stick while paused will step forward.

The old way of frame stepping with a controller in replays will also still work (right stick up or down to pause, right stick left to play backwards, right stick right to play forwards).

Multikeyboard Support

Chatting now works properly with Multikeyboard enabled.

Added frame-stepping support for Multikeyboard (same as normal: F5 step back, F6 step forward, F7 play).

New Legend Rotation

This week’s Legend Rotation features Ada, Asuri, Azoth, Cassidy, Scarlet, and Wu Shang.
