NetEase’s team-based shooter Marvel Rivals is embracing chaos and comedy with its brand-new limited-time mode (LTM), “Giant-Size Brain Blast.” Launching today, the event quite literally gives players a big head—transforming every character on the battlefield into a cartoonish bobblehead version of themselves. And yes, it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds.

Headshots Just Got Easier (and Funnier)

The core mechanic of Giant-Size Brain Blast revolves around one thing: enormous heads. While the visual change is instantly hilarious, it’s not just for laughs. Enlarged craniums mean bigger hitboxes, turning headshots into a primary gameplay focus. Expect snipers to reign supreme, and aim-reliant heroes to get a surprising boost in power.

It’s not just visual either—each elimination triggers a goofy, custom sound effect, making every takedown feel like it was pulled from a Saturday morning cartoon. The mode is a clear departure from the game’s usual fast-paced, strategic team fights, leaning instead into pure, unfiltered chaos.

Exclusive Rewards Up for Grabs

Players who dive into Giant-Size Brain Blast during its run can earn a selection of themed rewards. One highlight is a special bobblehead-themed emote that’s only available while the event is live. Like most LTMs, these items won’t be sticking around forever—so fans will want to log in sooner rather than later to collect them all.

When Can You Play?

Marvel Rivals new LTM, Giant-Sized Brain Blast event, which will run from April 25 to 28 and return between May 2 and 5.
