Gimkit SnowBrawl: The Definitive Guide (2025)

Snowbrawl is a dodgeball… with snowballs… and chaos.

If you make one wrong move then it can frozen you.

But one smart play? It can make you snow king.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to dodge, throw, and dominate in Snowbrawl even if your aim is worse than a melted snowman’s.

What is Snowbrawl?

Snow Brawl is an action-packed, real-time multiplayer game mode IN GIMKIT that throws players into a snowy battlefield where they must collect snowballs, hit opponents, and avoid getting frozen.

It’s very competitive. And it’s incredibly addictive.

How Snowbrawl Works ?

You need to understand this to win the game:

• Players are dropped into a winter arena.
• Your goal: tag others by throwing snowballs.
• Each hit freezes the opponent.
• The team with the most active players or the best freeze/unfreeze balance wins.

It sounds simple… But there’s a lot under the hood.

Game Modes: Solo vs. Team Snowbrawl

Snowball usually has two formats:

1. Solo Mode

• Every player is on their own.
• Once you’re frozen, you’re out.

2. Team Mode

• Players split into teams (usually 3v3, 5v5, or custom).
• Strategic gameplay. Communication is the dad.

For competitive gameplay, most pros stick to team mode.

Core Mechanics You Must Master

While I can make this core mechanic 2 million words longer,

Because there is a lot in this game mode,

I’ve tried to explain it in short.

To win consistently, you need t0 understand these four core mechanics:

You need to aim and throw using your mouse or touch controls.

Headshots hit harder, and the hitbox is bigger than you think.

Snowballs aren’t unlimited.

You need to collect more from snow piles or hit the “collect” key.

The best thing you can do is,

Memorize where the piles spawn.

Sprint and slide to dodge incoming snowballs.

Zigzag like a maniac.

If you stand still, you’re toast.

Cold, snowy toast.

How to Win More Snowbrawl Matches

Let’s come to the main thing you’re looking for:

1: Don’t Hoard Snowballs Use ‘Em Smart

Yes, if you are hoarding 5 snowballs, then it might feel powerful.

But

You only need one to win a duel.

If you’re constantly running around with full snowballs, you’re playing scared not smart.

Instead, do this, bruh:

• Use snowballs frequently to maintain pressure.
• Always reload after one or two throws while moving.
• Don’t camp near snow piles you’ll become an easy target.

2: Master the Peek-and-Throw Technique

The top 1% don’t rush into open space.

They peek from behind cover, toss a precise snowball, and slide right back. That’s the meta.

How to Do It:

• Find cover (rock, wall, crate).
• Move out slightly, throw, and return to safety.
• Repeat from another angle.

3: Watch Enemy Freeze Timings and Snowball Count

After an opponent freezes someone, they’re usually low on snowballs or completely empty.

That’s your moment.

Advanced Play:

• Count enemy throws. Most only carry 3–5.
• Wait until they engage and burn snowballs.
• Sprint in and attack when they’re defenseless.

Also, use the freeze sound cues if you hear a hit, act fast. Most enemies are vulnerable right after a successful throw.

5: Control the Center of the Map

In almost every Snowbrawl map, the middle zone is key:

• More snowball piles.
• Better angles of attack.

Teams that dominate the center usually dominate the match.

Control tactics you can use:

• Send two players mid early.
• Use peek throws to hold position.
• Rotate back to flank if pressure gets heavy.

Mid control = win control.

6: Be the Support MVP (Not Everyone Needs to Be the Hero)

If you are not the best aimer yet, then no worries.

You can still carry games as the zone control specialist.

What support players do:

• Stay behind frontliners.
• Call out enemy freeze spots.

Great support players keep the team alive and swing fights back in their favor.

Don’t overlook this role it wins matches.

7: Use the Slide-Cancel Technique to Dodge and Throw

Sliding is a dodging tool.

But the real trick?

Slide-canceling a quick stop in your slide that lets you throw faster.

Slide Cancel Combo:

• Slide toward cover or an enemy.
• Cancel by letting go of movement and immediately aiming/throwing.
• Return to slide or jump after your throw.

It adds unpredictability. You’ll dodge hits and deliver one before the enemy even reacts.

8: Watch the Minimap and Snowball Indicators

Most players ignore the minimap but it gives vital info:

• Frozen teammate icons
• Active snowball pile respawns
• Enemy activity (in some versions)

Also, if your HUD shows snowball count (some game variants do), watch your opponents’ throws and use logic.

If they’ve thrown 4… they’re probably empty.

That’s your time to rush.

9: Mind Game Your Throws (Fake, Delay, Bait)

Great players don’t just throw snowballs… They play mind games.

Using these things:

• Fake throw: Start a throw animation, cancel it, and bait a dodge.
• Delay throws: Wait half a second after peeking opponents often dodge early.
• Double angle: Peek one side, rotate quickly, and throw from the other.

By mixing up your patterns, you make it impossible to read your next move.

10: Play the Long Game Don’t Overextend

Snow Brawl is fast-paced.

But if you rush every time, that’s rookie behavior.

The pros wait for the right time to strike especially in team mode.

What to do instead:

• Hold a power position.
• Let the enemy make mistakes.
• Punish overextensions with precision throws.

Snowball Communication Hacks (for Teams)

Let’s say you want to win as a team.

Then use these callouts:

• “Top-left freeze!”
• “Push mid together!”
• “Unfreeze right side!”
• “They’re out of balls go!”

Even without mics, short pings or emotes can convey urgency.

Snowball Pro Checklist

• Master throw timing and peek throws
• Learn snowball collection routes.
• Use dodge + slide techniques.
• Communicate clearly in teams.
• Control the middle zone of the map.
• Track enemy freeze and snowball status.
• Play daily to build reflexes.
