What's New in Brawl Stars Mecha Season?
Season 45: Mechmas!
The December update, kicking off Season 45, is themed Mechmas. This season marks a significant transition, as it is one of the last before Supercell introduces major changes to the Brawl Pass system starting with Season 46.
The main attractions include:
- Mecha Mandy Skin: The star of the standard Brawl Pass, awarded as the final prize for reaching the end.
- Additional Premium Skins: Players who purchase the Brawl Pass Plus can earn Wasp Mecha Mandy and Shade Mecha Mandy skins, along with a "Hardwired" player title.
- A Final Farewell to the Current Pass: Enjoy this version of the Brawl Pass, as a revamped system with new Vaults and Keys is on the horizon for the next season.
The New Mecha Box in Brawl Stars
The Mecha Box is a new, limited-time loot box introduced with the Mechmas season. It's a special container filled exclusively with Mecha-themed items and high-value progression resources, designed to help you get your hands on some of the game's coolest robotic cosmetics.
How to Get a Mecha Box for Free
The best part? You have a chance to earn these boxes without spending any gems. The primary free method is through your Daily Wins. During the Mecha season, these special boxes have an increased chance to appear as one of your daily rewards. Make sure to log in and complete your wins every day to try your luck!
While they are also available for purchase in the Shop for Gems, the free daily chance is the key method for all players.
What's Inside the Mecha Box?
Opening a Mecha Box is a multi-reward experience. Each box contains several draws, and the loot pool is packed with both cosmetic and progression items. Here’s what you can find:

What's the Most Valuable Prize?
While all Mecha skins are highly desirable, the most coveted and rarest items in the Mecha Box are the Hypercharge Skins for Mecha Piper. These are brand-new, top-tier cosmetics with enhanced visual effects. Community data suggests the drop rate for these specific skins is very low, making pulling one a moment of exceptional luck.
Other extremely valuable pulls include Legendary Mecha Skins (like Mecha Crow or Mortis) and direct Hypercharge abilities for your Brawlers, which are crucial for competitive play.
Other Major Changes Incoming
The Mecha season is just the beginning. The update also lays the groundwork for a significant new progression system.
- Introducing Buffies: A brand-new type of power-up item called Buffies is coming to Brawl Stars. These items will allow you to enhance and upgrade your Brawlers' existing Gadgets, Star Powers, and Hypercharges, adding a new layer of depth and customization to your strategy. Each Brawler will have three unique Buffies to unlock.
- The Future of the Brawl Pass: As mentioned, starting in Season 46, the Brawl Pass will undergo a major overhaul. The new system will introduce Keys and Vaults, allowing players more choice in selecting their rewards, moving away from a purely linear track.
Conclusion
The Mecha season is a powerhouse update, blending festive fun with substantial new content. Whether you're hunting for a free Mecha Box from your Daily Wins, saving up for the Brawl Pass to get Mecha Mandy, or preparing for the strategic depth of Buffies, there's plenty to engage with. Remember to check the in-game shop, as previous Mecha skins are also available at a discount throughout December. Good luck, and may your next box contain the legendary skin you're looking for~~!
