Marvel Rivals Brain Blast mode: Release date, how to play, and rewards

If you thought Marvel Rivals couldn’t get any more quirky, hold your horses. A new meme-worthy game mode called the Giant-Size Brain Blast is now in town, all set to give your favorite heroes a size boost to their heads.

Besides the core modes, Marvel Rivals has hosted three time-limited event modes so far, each offering a unique casual experience beyond the usual cutthroat competitive games. Not only are these events a lot of fun, but they also offer unique rewards. Giant-Size Brain Blast is no different, so if you’re looking to grind this mode in Marvel Rivals and earn all the rewards, this guide is all you need.

Marvel Rivals Giant-Size Brain Blast mode release date

The Brain Blast event mode in Marvel Rivals is now live, starting April 25.

Giant-Size Brain Blast will be available in two limited-time rounds:

1. First round: April 25 to April 28
2. Second round: May 2 to May 5

You can play the mode during those limited-time rounds only. But the event will end on May 9, so make sure you collect any rewards or purchase items before that.

How to play Marvel Rivals Giant-Size Brain Blast mode

You can queue for Brain Blast like you do for any other game mode in Marvel Rivals: Select the Play button, choose the mode under the Rivalry section, and then select Start. 

If you’re wondering what the experience is like, it’s the same as a Conquest match, but heroes will have giant wobbly heads instead of the normal ones you see in any other mode. As the heads move and you hit enemies on their giant heads, you’ll hear some fun honking sound effects. Overall, it’s just an arcade experience that lets you score a lot of critical hits because of the big heads.

All rewards in Marvel Rivals Giant-Size Brain Blast mode

Not everything about the Brain Blast mode in Marvel Rivals is light-hearted. For starters, there’s a leaderboard, and those who top it will earn some exciting rewards. You can also earn a free emote by completing missions.

Leaderboard rewards

If you want a Competitive-like experience with your favorite heroes and their big, shaky heads, you can play for the Giant-Size Brain Blast leaderboard and earn some fun titles. Here’s the rank requirement and the corresponding title you can earn for it:

Every hero has their own leaderboard in the Brain Blast mode, so you can earn these titles for whoever you like. For example, if you reach top 500 with Iron Fist, you’ll earn the “Giant-Sized Brain Iron Fist” title. Reach top 10 to unlock all the titles for Iron Fist. After you complete the challenge for one hero, you can start playing another and earn titles for them too.

Free emote

This one’s easy: Just complete 10 Giant-Size Brain Blast games to earn the free Brain Blast emote in Marvel Rivals. 

Unfortunately, you can only get the free emote for one hero. If you want to get the same emote for more heroes, you can purchase them for 400 Units each.
