Knockout Update March 2026 — Update 8, Spring Season Pass 2, and Bee Event

By Earnaldo Team • March 29, 2026 • 9 min read

Update 8 dropped for Knockout on March 28, 2026, at 3:00 PM UTC, and it's one of the biggest content drops the penguin brawler has seen. The update introduces Spring Season Pass 2 with over 20 new skins across two new eggs, 6 knockout effects, 10+ arrow skins, and the Foltyn's Garden Bee Event featuring the Honey Bee Challenge. YouTuber Foltyn and developer Emperor hosted a massive Admin Abuse event at launch, and 4 brand-new codes went live alongside the update. Here's everything that's changed.

What's New in Update 8

Update 8 is a spring-themed content expansion that touches nearly every cosmetic category in the game. The two biggest additions are the new egg types and the recurring Bee Event, but there's a lot more going on underneath.

Spring Season Pass 2

The Spring Season Pass 2 is the premium track for this update cycle. It contains a curated set of spring and nature-themed cosmetics, including skins like Frog Boy, Silver Fox, Golden Lion, and Emerald Phoenix. These are exclusive to the Season Pass and can't be obtained through eggs or the regular shop.

Players who purchase the pass get access to a progression track where they unlock these skins and other rewards by earning XP through matches. The pass also includes Petals as a progression currency, which tie into the Foltyn's Garden event system.

New Eggs

Two new eggs arrived with Update 8, each containing distinct skin sets.

The Flower Egg is the more accessible of the two, containing four nature-inspired skins. Cactus Queen is the standout here with a distinctive desert-meets-royalty design. The Bee Egg is the chase egg, headlined by the Fighter Bee skin at Legendary rarity. Getting Fighter Bee requires some luck on the roll, but it's already one of the most sought-after cosmetics in the game.

New Knockout Effects and Arrow Skins

Update 8 added 6 new knockout effects that trigger when you eliminate another player. These are visual flourishes that play on-screen when you land the finishing blow, and they're a big part of the game's flexing culture. The new effects follow the spring theme with floral and nature-inspired animations.

On the arrow front, over 10 new arrow skins have been added to the pool. Arrow skins change the appearance of your projectile trails, and the new spring set includes petal-trail effects, honey-drip trails, and vine-wrap styles. These drop from eggs and the Season Pass track.

Limited Shop Bundles

The in-game Shop received multiple limited quantity bundles alongside the update. These bundles combine skins, effects, and arrow cosmetics at a discounted price compared to rolling individual eggs. They're first-come, first-served, so if you see one you want, grab it before the stock runs out.

Foltyn's Garden and the Bee Event

Foltyn's Garden is a recurring server event that forms the core of the Bee Event. It spawns every hour on each server, with a visible countdown timer displayed above the event structure on the edge of the lobby. When the timer hits zero, the Garden opens and players can enter to collect Petals and Honey Petals.

Petals are the standard event currency used to purchase the Flower Box from the Season 2 pass and other spring-themed items. Honey Petals are the premium variant, tied specifically to the Honey Bee Challenge progression.

During the launch day, YouTuber Foltyn hosted a long Admin Abuse event alongside developer Emperor, manually triggering the Foltyn's Garden event multiple times and skipping the hourly timer. This gave early players a massive head start on Petal collection. Under normal circumstances, you'll need to wait the full hour between each Garden spawn.

Honey Bee Challenge

The Honey Bee Challenge is a separate progression track within the Bee Event. By collecting Honey Petals during Foltyn's Garden sessions, you work toward unlocking exclusive bee-themed rewards. The challenge culminates in the ability to craft Bee King Foltyn, a unique skin that's only available during the Garden event windows.

Division Reset

Divisions reset on March 29, 2026 (today). If you've been climbing the ranked ladder, your progress resets with the new season. This is standard for major updates and gives everyone a fresh starting point alongside the new content.

How This Affects Gameplay

Update 8 is primarily a cosmetic expansion, so core combat mechanics haven't changed. That said, a few things shift the player experience in meaningful ways.

The division reset means everyone starts fresh today. If you've been stuck in a plateau, this is your chance to climb with a clean slate. Early-season matches tend to be more volatile since players of mixed skill levels are compressed into the same brackets. Use that to your advantage if you're confident in your mechanics.

The new knockout effects add a psychological element to matches. Landing a flashy knockout effect can tilt opponents, especially in 1v1 situations where intimidation matters. It's a small edge, but in a game where mental momentum matters, it's worth equipping your most impressive effect.

The Foltyn's Garden timer creates a natural gameplay loop. Play matches for 45-50 minutes, then head to the lobby when the Garden timer is about to expire. Collect your Petals and Honey Petals, then jump back into matches. This keeps sessions feeling structured without being forced.

For collectors, the sheer volume of new cosmetics is significant. Between the Flower Egg, Bee Egg, Season Pass 2 rewards, knockout effects, arrow skins, and limited bundles, there are well over 30 new items to chase. That's going to keep the grind alive for weeks.

New Codes

Update 8 dropped with 4 new codes, and there are 10 additional codes from previous updates that are still active. Here's the full list as of March 29, 2026. For the latest additions, check our Knockout codes page.

That's a total of 2,500 Ice, 21 Spins, 25 Clover, 25 Magma Crystals, 50 Disco Balls, and 2 free skins (Punchy and Vinguin) from codes alone. If you haven't redeemed any of these, do it now before the older ones expire.

Updated Tips and Strategies

Farming Petals Efficiently

The Foltyn's Garden event runs on an hourly server timer. The most efficient approach is to keep an eye on the countdown above the event structure in the lobby. When it's within 5 minutes of expiring, stop queuing for matches and wait in the lobby. Missing a Garden window means waiting another full hour.

Server-hopping is your best friend here. If you just finished a Garden collection and want more Petals immediately, leave and rejoin a different server. There's a chance that server's timer is closer to expiring, letting you double up on collections in a short window.

Egg Rolling Strategy

If you're chasing the Fighter Bee Legendary skin from the Bee Egg, don't blow all your Spins at once. Legendary drop rates in Knockout eggs are typically in the 1-3% range. Spread your rolls across multiple sessions to avoid burning through your resources in one frustrating streak.

The Flower Egg has better odds per skin since it only contains 4 items, making it more predictable to complete. If you want guaranteed value, start there. Save the Bee Egg rolls for when you've stocked up a healthy Spin reserve.

Division Climbing After Reset

With divisions resetting today, the first few days of the new season are the best time to climb. Matchmaking pools are wide open, and you'll face a mix of opponents as everyone sorts back into their proper ranks. Play aggressively during this window and you can push several divisions higher than your usual placement before the field stabilizes.

Community Reaction

The community response to Update 8 has been strong. The sheer volume of new cosmetics has given collectors plenty to work toward, and the quality of the spring-themed skins has been praised across social media. Frog Boy and Emerald Phoenix from the Season Pass 2 are early fan favorites.

The Foltyn Admin Abuse launch event was a hit. Players who were online during the first few hours got to participate in multiple rapid-fire Garden spawns, collecting Petals at a rate that won't be replicated under normal hourly timers. Those who missed it are understandably jealous, but the developers have hinted at more admin events in the coming weeks.

Fighter Bee has quickly become the most traded and discussed skin from the update. Its Legendary rarity and the randomness of the Bee Egg make it a status symbol. Players are already offering stacked trades for it on the community trading channels.

The division reset has been met with the usual mixed feelings. Competitive players welcome the fresh start, while casual players who slowly climbed to their current rank aren't thrilled about doing it again. That said, the new Season Pass 2 rewards give everyone a reason to grind matches regardless of their competitive ambitions.
