Removed 4 Weapon System[ | ]
In early versions of Brawlhalla, each Legend could pick up and use any weapon. At the time, this included the Sword, Blasters, Rocket Lance, and Grapple Hammer.
Instead of the current weapon pickups that randomly grant one of two weapons, weapons would drop as cardboard versions on the ground. Once picked up by a Legend, the weapon's skin would change to make the Legend's appearance.
Dropped weapons would not fade away instantly, meaning if one player dropped a weapon another player could pick up and use that exact weapon.
This system was removed in Alpha v0.4.0 alongside the release of the Spear, in favor of the current 2 weapons per Legend system.
Altered Weapon Combos[ | ]
Following the introduction of the 2 weapons per Legend system in Alpha v0.4.0, some Legends were given weapon combos that were later replaced. These include:
These legends had their weapon combos changed to their modern versions in Beta v1.0.
Additionally, there exist unused weapon skins that suggest Lucien was planned to have a Blasters and Sword weapon combo. This was never implemented into the actual game.
Weapon Stances[ | ]
In early versions of the game, there exist unused poses where the player is holding the Sword or the Spear in different ways. These have different names given to them, based on how many hands are used and if the weapon is held forward or rear-side. The only ones ever used in-game are "Sword 1 Handed Rear" and "Spear Rear".
It may be possible these weapon stances were made for individual Legends, as some of them resemble the stances newer Legends take on the Legend select screen. However, these poses were created when each Legend could use every weapon. Therefore, it is possible that these stances would have been used as new weapons, or there would be some way for the player to chose how their Legends hold their weapons.
Unused Weapons[ | ]
There exist multiple unused weapons, each with varying degrees of development put into them.
The Rifle is the unused weapon with the most development put into it, as it is the only one to have animations made for it. It seemingly would have been a heavy weapon, but not much else is known about it. | ||
This rocket launcher is referred to as "HeavyGun" in the game files. It is most likely a very early version of the Cannon. | ||
This odd weapon resembles the Gauntlets, but is simply called "Fist" in the game files. It is unknown what this could have been, but may have been developed into the Katars. | ||
The Shuriken is an unused gadget and would have been thrown just like other gadgets. It is the only unused weapon that seems to have full art completed for it. | ||
This Katana is called "Sword2H" in the game files, referring to it being a 2-handed Sword. While this could be dismissed as a Sword skin, it is noticeably longer than the Sword, and has unique poses for holding the weapon. This may have been an early version of the Greatsword. | ||
The Dagger. Similarly to the Katana this could also be dismissed as a Sword skin, but it is noticeably shorter than the Sword. |
Weapon Skins[ | ]
Original Weapon Skins (4 Weapons System)[ | ]
Since every Legend could pick up each weapon before Alpha v0.4.0, every Legend had unique weapon skins for those weapons. As a result of that system being removed, several weapon skins for Bödvar, Cassidy, Orion, Lord Vraxx, and Gnash were removed.
Alongside these Legends, Scarlet, Hattori, Thatch, Lucien, and Sir Roland were all in development while this system was in place. As such, these Legends also had extra weapon skins designed, but those that were used were introduced after the removal of the 4 weapons system.

- Lord Vraxx's Blasters and Lance were redesigned in Alpha v0.5.1.
Unused Weapon Combos[ | ]
Due to Orion, Queen Nai, and Lucien temporarily having different weapon combos and skins still being in development, weapon skins were created for their old weapon combos. Most of these weapons go unused.

- Snake Charmer Nai's Blasters were repurposed into the Mother of Pearl Blasters.
- Tomb Tamer Nai's Blasters were recolored and used as Bullet Hail of the King (Vraxx the King's Blasters)
- Both Spec-Ops Lucien and Dark of Night Lucien's Swords were reused as weapon skins.
Default Weapon Skins[ | ]
Default weapon skins exist for each Weapon. These can be viewed or used in-game through several different glitches:
- Method 1: On the Legend select screen, if the player presses two direction buttons at the same time (ie left + right, up + down), the selected Legend's pose will take on the adjacent Legend's pose. If that Legend is holding a Weapon, the Weapon will appear as its default weapon skin.
- Method 2: In Training Mode, give your legend a weapon using the training settings (tab menu) menu. Exit the menu, open it again, and switch the Legend to be one that can't use the Weapon you were just holding. After this, hold the reverse frame step button (F5) until the Legend is holding the previous Weapon. Here, it will take the appearance of the default weapon skin.
In Training Mode, the Sword, Blasters, Hammer, and Lance will all take on the appearance of the original cardboard weapon pickups instead of the default weapon skin.
Other Unused Weapon Skins[ | ]
The following weapon skins remain unused for other or unknown reasons.
