In this mode, you will get many boxes you must destroy using your weapon to get power gems that increase your health and damage.
Gem Grab
Gem Grab is known for its intense battle experience. Basically, there are two teams and each team contains three players. There is a gem mine in the middle of the battle area where gems arrive at regular intervals and once a player is killed will leave all the carried gems in the area. If a team collects 10 gems or more the 10-second timer will be started and once the timer ends, the team with more gems will win the game.
Brawl Ball

Participants are divided into two teams, each tasked with protecting their respective safes while simultaneously attempting to devastate the opposing team’s safe. Victory is determined by which team inflicts the most damage on their opponent’s safe by the conclusion of the match. If any of the two teams were able to completely destroy the safe, the will be over and the team whose safe is protected will win.
Bounty
In the Bounty Event, teams of three compete to collect 20 stars within 2 minutes. Each player starts with 2 stars. Defeating an opponent gives their stars to the team and increases the victor’s bounty by one star, up to a max of 7. Eliminated players reset to 2 stars. If no team reaches 20, the team with the most stars wins.

Auto-aim is available but tricky due to moving hoops. Three-pointers typically require a Super throw unless well-positioned near the hoop for an accurate shot.
Duels
In this mode, players are required to assemble a team comprising three selected brawlers. The objective is to compete against the opponent’s team in a structured one-on-one format. The contest consists of three distinct rounds, where each player will engage the opposing team’s brawler sequentially, one by one. Over the course of these three rounds, all three chosen brawlers from your team will face off individually against their counterparts from the opposing side. At the end, the team that won the most rounds will be victorious.

Special Events
These special events are for fun and enjoyment. If you win matches in this mode, you will not get any rewards such as trophies or rank points. These events are usually available in the game for a limited time and many new social events are continually arriving in the game.
Boss Fight
It is a special event game mode where you will be a part of a team with two other players and you all have to take the fight against the massive boss robot. It is no easy task to knock down the boss robot because he is very powerful and capable of throwing multiple attacks at the same time.

It is a team game so all players in the team have to attract the boss robot at the same time to pull maximum damage. The eliminated player can resurrect again as long as at least one player is alive on the battlefield. There is no time limit so until all the players are being killed the game will not be over.

There is a robot attract in the area and robots can appear from anywhere so your team has to be prepared with powerful weapons to destroy the robots and keep your ‘Safe’ protected. There will be 4 waves of the robot attack and with each wave, the robot’s power will increase and at the end, a boss robot will arrive which will be very powerful and it is difficult to kill him. If you are able to keep the Safe for 2 minutes, you will win the game.
Big Game
Five players will be in a team who have to attack the one enhanced massive brawler that has much more HP, Damage, Reload Speed, and Movement Speed than any other normal brawler in the game. If that massive brawler was able to survive for 2 minutes, you will lose the game but your team is able to kill that big brawler within 2 minutes, you will win the game.
