The event uses a ticket-based progression system. Players receive event tickets and can use them to compete in selected game modes. Winning matches contributes toward earning Bolt Boxes, the primary reward container for the event.
Supercell’s official support documentation confirms that Brawler Box events are now the primary way to unlock newly released Brawlers for free during their launch period.
How to Get Bolt Boxes?
The fastest way to earn Bolt Boxes is by participating in the dedicated event mode throughout the event period.
Players receive daily event tickets that can be used in event matches. Every successful run contributes toward unlocking additional Bolt Boxes. Similar New Brawler Events introduced in recent updates have rewarded a Brawler Box after players achieve the required number of wins during an event cycle.
1. The first step requires players to collect 12 Bolt Boxes Brawl Stars.
2. Upon collecting your 12th, Bolt will automatically be unlocked for free
3. Supercell will provide players with 10 Tickets at the start of the Brawl Stars Bolt Release Event.
4. They will also have the opportunity to unlock 2 more every day.
Since the tickets keep refreshing as time goes by, having steady participation is probably the most efficient thing to do. If you skip daily tickets, you might end up with fewer total boxes you can grab for free before the event ends. Some players may also decide to grab extra boxes from the in game shop using Gems.

What is Inside a Bolt Box?
Bolt Boxes usually have multiple reward drops, Coins, Credits, Power Points, XP Doublers, Bling, cosmetic items and also a chance to instantly unlock Bolt.
And from what community data plus event reward details show, each Bolt Box can include event exclusive cosmetics tied to the new Brawler. That means things like Pins, Sprays, Profile Icons, and a few selected skins. Honestly the rarest reward stays Bolt, so each opening becomes a sort of milestone for players showing up for the event.
Also, besides the Brawler itself, you can get progression resources that help power up your existing lineup. So even if Bolt doesn’t pop out right away each box still gives you something useful.
Can You Unlock Bolt for Free?
Yep. The whole point of the Bolt Release Event is to offer a free route to unlock the new Brawler.
Supercell’s Brawler Box system comes with a guaranteed unlock mechanic. Even if Bolt doesn’t show up through random rewards, opening enough event boxes will eventually trigger that guaranteed unlock. That way players aren’t totally stuck because of bad luck and active participants can still get the character without spending money.
Now the exact number of boxes depends on the Brawler’s rarity and the event setup. But the system is built to keep rewarding continued engagement for the whole duration of the event.
