These new units of measurement let players access a specific chest in the game. **Vault Keys could change the game's dynamic**, because they offer a new way to unlock rewards. Gone are the hours spent farming Brawl Points: now, keys are essential to access new content. Announced on November 26, 2025 and shipped in the December 2025 update (Update 65), the system lets players earn about four keys per month. The Vault itself should offer varied rewards, and its contents may be influenced by your Brawl Pass tier. This new reward system brings a nice dose of strategy to the game. **Players will now need to plan their key spending carefully** to maximize their chances of getting the items they want. ### Price adjustments: a necessary change Alongside these novelties, the developers also adjusted in-game prices. The old purchase models needed a refresh, and the **changes are striking**. If at first it seemed that item prices had slightly increased, many players pointed out that it was a justified adjustment given the added value of the new content — the reworked Brawl Pass itself costs more but comes with ten new reward milestones. Price adjustments do not only concern items, but also the cost of the Brawl Pass itself. Some users question the need for these changes, but in reality, we can praise this initiative. **It gives new players a chance to jump into the game without feeling too penalized**. ### The Vault: treasure chest or mirage? Another interesting addition is the Vault, a chest that hides treasures and surprises. To access it, players will need to **collect a certain number of keys**, which should add a new layer of challenge and motivation to their play sessions. There are two kinds of Vaults: Resource Keys unlock a Resource Vault (2,000 Gold, 2,000 Power Points or 5,000 Blings), while Skin Keys unlock a Skin Vault with skin sets. But with this addition comes a question: will the Vault really deliver the promised rewards, or will it be a mere mirage? **Early player feedback** on the new feature is rather positive, but only time will tell whether this addition lives up to expectations. ### Buffies and reworks shake up the meta Many players are excited about the update's other headline: the **Buffies** system. Announced in November, every brawler receiving a Buffie also gets kit adjustments and ability reworks, aimed at abilities that are underperforming. Six brawlers are getting Buffies at launch, with Supercell planning to expand the system to all brawlers over time — alongside two new brawlers (including the legendary Pierce), new game modes, Hypercharges and fresh skins. This back-to-basics approach is welcomed by the community, showing the developers listen to their fans while keeping Brawl Stars' DNA intact. ### Final thoughts: toward a new horizon for Brawl Stars This Brawl Pass update is shaping up to be a major turning point for Brawl Stars. **The new mechanics** introduced — like Vault Keys and the Vault — along with the price adjustments and the Buffies reworks, should enrich the gameplay experience and push players to explore new strategies. Chaos Drops and upgraded Tail Rewards round out a re-imagined seasonal progression. So, ready to dive into this update and discover all the surprises waiting for you? **Gather your keys**, get ready to open the Vault, and do not forget to adapt your strategy to the new changes. The battle has never been this exciting, and we cannot wait to see where it takes us. ### FAQ - What are the main new features of the update? - How does the key system work? - Are the price adjustments justified? - Is the Vault beneficial for players? - How is the community reacting to this update? ## See also - [Brawl Stars Season 52: Ramen Rebellion, Nori and the NanoPowers](https://after-strategy.com/en/brawl-stars-season-52-ramen-rebellion-nori-2026/) - [Brawl Stars Season 51: Brawl Strikers, Bolt and the FIFA World Cup collab with Adidas](https://after-strategy.com/en/brawl-stars-season-51-brawl-strikers-world-cup-2026/) - [Discover Glowbert and his powerful strategies in Brawl Stars](https://after-strategy.com/en/brawl-stars-glowbert-guide-build-gadgets-tips/) - [All mobile games](https://after-strategy.com/en/categorie/mobile/) ## Sources - [Official Google Play page for Brawl Stars](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.brawlstars) - [Official Brawl Stars website](https://supercell.com/en/games/brawlstars/) - [Brawl Pass update: Keys, Vault, price adjustments — GamingOnPhone](https://gamingonphone.com/news/brawl-stars-brawl-pass-update-brings-major-changes-keys-vault-price-adjustments/) - [December 2025 update patch notes — Sportskeeda](https://www.sportskeeda.com/mobile-games/brawl-stars-december-update-2025-patch-notes-buffies-character-reworks) ## Sources - - - - Source : [Brawl Stars December 2025 update: Vault Keys, Vault, price changes and Buffies (Update 65)](https://after-strategy.com/en/brawl-stars-december-2025-update-vault-keys/) — After Strategy
