Summary

Free Brawl, also known as Mixed Martial Arts, is a PvP round that strips away weapons and forces players to use their limbs to beat everyone else up. If 2 or more players are still alive when the timer runs out, everyone is forcibly killed and no winner will be chosen.

As of v0.9.3, there is now an entire Universe that's dedicated to PvP modes only. Any players who look forward to fighting others can now join an entire server that is dedicated to such modes like Free Brawl.

Tips

  • The only way to hurt other players is by Punching and Kicking.
  • You cannot use the In-Game Store during a Free Brawl round.
  • Blocking (performed by holding CapsLock) is perhaps the key to winning one of these rounds.
    • While doing so, you're entirely invincible while your opponent wastes their energy hitting you.
    • This, in turn, leaves them open for an easy counter-attack.
      • If you block for too long, this opportunity is wasted and you leave yourself open in the process.
      • If you are a Mac user, make sure you have turned on Mac CapsLock in the Settings to ensure you can block.
  • Conserve your stamina. If it dips below a certain point, any hit will knock you down.
  • Avoid taking fall damage as much as possible. Every drop of health is invaluable in this gamemode.
    • For this reason, standing on the edge of a building is discouraged as, if you are tripped, you will most certainly fall and take damage or, even worse, fall into an environmental hazard.
  • Teaming with other players is a viable option, but you will still be able to hurt each other.
    • Along with this, you will have to kill your teammates within the time limit, or else no one will win the round.
      • You can be banned for round delaying if you constantly do this.
  • Using the Give Command will not work in this gamemode.
  • You can use the Frost Knuckles in this gamemode, the only melee allowed to be used.
    • You can use the Super Punch ability to surprise people, as well as break through a block that somebody may be doing.
  • Mounts spawn in this gamemode.
  • In Toy Factory you can open presents to get some useful items like Candy Cane, so do that.
    • Just watch out for the other survivors who had the same idea.

Trivia

  • This is another returning Gamemode from R2D 2014, albeit with minor differences.
    • In R2D 2014, you started the round with 200 HP. However, there was no defence against spawn killing.
  • You used to be able to bring armor into a round. This ability was removed in v0.4.9.
  • PlaceRebuilder once considered removing Free Brawl through a Twitter Poll.
