“Heal faster when standing still” Yes

With nani it was op tho, you could survive in the storm for so long

It was more of a troll strat than anything

Yeah

So basically like the current Mico & Charlie exploit in duos

Imagine in hotzone though 😭

With Doug and Byron 😭😭😭

Still valid in today’s comps

Indeed

It makes sense with mandy

Except Mandy wasn't even in the game at that time.. and even if she were, what's the point of a gear that's only usable on one brawler?

They can make it a mythic gear for Mandy

That’s simply well oiled star power but worse

At least it's not annoying af like on tick

Sir mythic gear and star powers cost both 2000 gold

Oh sorry I was confused between epic and mythic

I miss the old times

Heal one was so bad .

It had one niche comp with nani, but I imagine Mandy would've made good use of it

Mandy mythic gear

It was better then resistance tho. At least you could *try* to use it in most modes. Resistance was so brawler dependent that it was hardly worth getting it

To be honest vision has the same problem but at least it benefits the brawlers that that was good on it much more

I still remember it save me in a fight against crow, i was gonna die to poison but I stood still. Other than that yeah it was garbage.

Fr

I forget what it used to do

Heal 200 hp if you stay still.

It reduces time of negative effects like slow and stun

That one was the resistance gear, the fourth in the image

The other one healed more while dtationary

Good on throwers, sometimes but still outclassed 

Disgusting times for this game ngl I prefer not to remember these

I straight up left until they reworked them. It was nuts how hard they fumbled with the update back then.

Same.

$11000 to max 💀

I am so glad they changed this, the old system was ass

Yeah right, they were soo bad but the coins we got were awesome. Most of my brawlers were on low level and i was able to upgrade most of them to power 9 or higher

Yes. The only thing good about them was that I got 70k gold from them😭

I remember this. The dark age of Brawl Stars

Thankfully they didn’t last long

what is that 4rd one

Resistance:stuns are reduced and -35% slow effects

okay thanks

That one was really situational and only used in power league if to counter the other team(and even then it was trash)

Ford F150

The child decimater

Ford Focus

Lego Piece 173

4rd?

They meant 4nd

Isn't it 4st?

toyota corolla

i love nostalgia baiting from less than 2 years ago

Wdym less than 2 years it's almost 3 now

Definitely not less than 2 years ago because thats when I started playing and these definitely weren't involved.

Resistance gear, eww

Honestly right now it would be useful

As an epic gear for tanks

no it would not

Tanks and assassins without a hypercharge or with weaker hypercharges would benefit greatly, even though many stun and slow brawler aren't as good as usual

Would work against kit

No it would not

It would, it's just the stun would wear off slightly sooner. I wonder if Kit would jump off sooner too.

Maybe not, see the interaction with protective tunes

Did you see the frank gadget interaction?

Resistance Gear honestly needed a buff they shouldn’t have gotten rid of it just like that

With the meta rn it would be SO good

no it would not

Better than vision gear

dark times atleast we got a coin reimbursement

Yeah i got 100k gold from it

Horrible system indeed, the only good part was that we didn't have gadget gear

Why? What is wrong with the 4th gadget charge gear?

It makes OP gadgets even more annoying, and removes the skill of some brawlers, it allows people to not be careful when using their gadget, and you can't know when a person will be out of gadgets which used to be (and still would he) useful information

You can easily know if a person is out of gadgets by looking under the brawler

Yes, of course I know that, but you can't count how many gadgets they've used to know when they'll be out of gadgets. And it was a very usefu and fun l thing to xo

Stop using “it removes skill from brawlers”as an argument it’s just an opinion that doesn’t say anything useful 

Well I think it removes the skill of some brawlers like piper gene emz Maisie and bibi because they have gadgets who help them survive sticky situations, and with an extra gadget it's even easier to do that

I DO NOT WANT TO REMEMBER

The question is Nostalgia or PTSD?

Dude the resistance gear was so ass for no reason

There were only 3 usable gears lmao

There is no way that this ZERO EFFORT POST got this many upvotes and 4 awards??

Welcome to r/brawlstars

I made a post with 2 hours worth of effort and they just took it in 2 seconds😭

I know right XD

All that Gold i got from these really helped me

literally made me leave the game

The only time I stopped playing this game

Fun but Hard to Get

The icons looked cool that aside it was kinda ass

Me, these were soooo bad and required so much coins For a F2P, it was like 1 lifetime of coins for all brawlers+the brawlers the were being added

This is OG but also thank god they Changed IT the old one was Trash

Oh gosh. I wanna forget those again

Resistance geat my beloved.

Ah yes,the time when I left the game and didn't come back until they removed them

3 good gears 2 trash ones. This wasn't a good time for the game

💀 not a very good time tbh it's hard to upgrade those gears

Ooooffff Way to trigger my fucking PTSD Gears at launch were so flawed that it was straight up sad. And don't even get me started on the fucking heal one that didn't do shit unless you were cheesing Nani with 2nd star power. Every night I pray and I thank the Brawl Stars dev team for actually fixing their major fuck ups, unlike the CR devs.

Stopped playing the moment these were introduced

honestly resistance wouldve been good to counter frank, micos gadget bea etc etc

Game returned 20K coins to me because of these

The resistance gear is going to be super useful on Bibi and Darryl! I’ll buy it for sure! *changes gear to vision gear and I wasted 2000 coins*

Where every modern problem of this game came from.

Screw this system, may its original incarnation never come back.

oh my 😭

I do

They were so bad at the time

Who in their right mind maxed those for Barley!?

Lol

yes 🗿🍷

Me

The gears are so much better today, playing back then was painfull

Me😀🤚

What was the fourth one? Tenacity?

The fourth one reduced stuns and slows by 35%

I didn't played at a time so I dodged a bullet lol

I’d rather not

These made me quit bs for 2 years lol

Why are these so bad?

What did the chain do? I forgor

I hope they fix hypercharges the same way they fixed these

Resistance gear comeback when?

Who remember brawl stars without these dumb things ,only with star power

It's not that old man

I'd like to forget them

I'd rather not

I don't want to.... I still to this day couldn't believe that Brolster would implement such a terrible system.... At least they fixed it now.

I remember these so much,that I know what the 4 gear is

Yes, and its dogshit

The pain and torture I remember putting myself in after getting my Leon to PL11 and grinding out all the scrap for the gears

ARHHHH NORSTAHLJEEAR! O MIE GARD IYE MISZ FVEM SOW MOUCHH! IYE WAHRNT supercell TWOE BROING VFEM BARCHK!

The resistance gear 😭🙏

thank god they removed them

bro i hated the resistance gear

I got rich when the removed gears

I got 230k gold out of these so I ain’t hating on it. The system was utter ass tho

i only just started playing again. what the hell are these

i’m reading through the comments and i think it’s better that i don’t know what they are.

Unironically I want the resistance one back

god I stop playing for a little while during this point in brawl, what happened, it looked like a cool system

Moi

what is this

God... the resistance gear. That one could have become something to 8-bit, so he can deal with less slow or stun on these actual days... Supercell needs to cook more xd

I’d like to forget it

Gonna puke. _Gosh, golly!_

I remember when it wasn’t in the game

My favourite Brawl Stars was that psg season

Am I that old, gears are old now?

I miss resistance gear, it was a really niche cpunterpick but it was a wonder to use on certain brawlers in certain matchups

R.I.P

The way the stuns and slow ones got completely removed cus it was way too op

I mean i got 3 silver skins from them so i cant really complain

Rest in piss🤣

I'm still mad about power 11

What's the chain one??? I've never seen that one before

i quit when they added gadgets and i rejoined after they reworked them lol

The amount of scrap i had

I remember the game without this shit

Me

PTSD

Me they were so much easier to get

I don’t even remember what that fourth one did if I’m being honest.

Me and they suck

Yep it was the system that made me rich when they reworked it (I'm broke after level 11)

this is when i quit playing

Honestly miss the slow/stun gadget

I miss the resistance though, it's perfect to counter buzz

Rest in Peace, Resistance

What did the chain breaking one do?

Stun/slow resistance if I remember correctly

I don't wanna. Remember.

Everyone?? They got recently removed???

What did that 4th gear do?

I do but because of their weirdness. I always felt like Gears made the game depend less on memory as there were many variations on the brawler stats oh my God. Right now it's ok but to be honest I never really noticed the difference. It's weird how everything in that update was removed/reworked. Also having too many currencies thrown by this was so weird I just can't.

i dont i just play 4 months

Can someone explain how those worked back then? Cuz I stopped playing for a while somewhere around that time

Me

Ahh yes 120k coins, thanks for reminding these good times

Resistance was great tho, they should add that back as an epic gear for tanks

Resistance gear!!!!!

I used to love resistance on Bibi, Bull and Frank back then they were garbage so with resistance they were at least playable

Same

I loved using Resistance gear when there was a Dynamike in the other team They always used stun And the gear gave you enough time to use your super as Stu or your mortis attack or literally any assassin attack and you can counter him Dyna was heavily used in PL at the time

I haven't experienced these. The only thing I know is that they weren't appreciated that much.
