Supercell began distributing free Smash Sprays and resource rewards to Brawl Stars players on May 7, 2026, to compensate for recent technical bugs and gameplay issues. The giveaway, coordinated through content creators and the Supercell Store, arrives as developers attempt to rebuild community goodwill after several weeks of frustrating software updates.

As reported by egw.news, the popular creator @BrawlNetworkX confirmed the distribution of the Smash Spray on X, formerly Twitter. While the spray is available through participating creators, players can also obtain a free Resource Key if they purchase the current season’s Brawl Pass Plus via the official Supercell Store.

The requirement for the Brawl Pass Plus led to varied responses among the player base regarding the value of the promotion. According to egw.news, some community members expressed dissatisfaction with the choice of rewards compared to previous campaigns.

“too greedy,” said one player regarding the developer’s decision to offer a Resource Key instead of a Buffie Key.

Despite the criticism, other fans defended the offer, noting that the rewards still provide significant value compared to standard in-game purchases. Additional freebies including Pins, Sprays, and Icons are also accessible via QR codes and daily gift links as of May 7, according to frvr.com.

Beyond temporary rewards, players are focusing on character optimization for Brawlers like Jessie. According to clutchpoints.com, Jessie is a long-range projectile attacker who can hit up to three enemies per shot as her rifle rounds bounce between targets. Her primary utility comes from summoning a turret named Scrappy to defend territory.

The guide from clutchpoints.com highlights specific abilities for optimal gameplay. Jessie features two distinct gadgets: Spark Plug and Recoil Spring.

“Jessie triggers a shockwave from her turret, slowing down all enemies within its area of effect.” describes Spark Plug.

The alternative gadget focuses on offensive capabilities during combat encounters.

“Scrappy’s attack speed is doubled briefly.” describes Recoil Spring.

For passive benefits, players can choose between two Star Powers. Energize allows for tactical repairs during combat, while Shocky enhances the turret’s crowd-control potential.

“Jessie can repair her gun turret by zapping it with her attack.” describes Energize.

The second option changes how the turret’s projectiles behave against groups of opponents.

“Scrappy the Turret now shoots energy orbs that bounce between enemies. The orbs’ range after a bounce is 51% of normal range.” describes Shocky.

Jessie is currently recommended for modes like Heist and Hot Zone where area denial is critical. However, she is less effective in Bounty or Knockout due to the slow speed of her projectiles and the tendency for enemies to stay spread out in those modes.
