Jabroni Brawl: Episode 3

Jabroni Brawl: Episode 3 (sometimes referred to as "Jabroni Brawl 3" or simply "Jabroni Brawl") is a Source mod created by Team Jabroni, available on Steam. It is a direct successor to Jaykin' Bacon, a Source mod created in the mid-2000s.

Jabroni Brawl released to Steam on November 11, 2022.

JB3 uses a modified version of the CS:GO branch Source engine, often referred to as "JBGO".

Gameplay

Jabroni Brawl features over 40 original maps, over 50 individual weapons, over a dozen game modes, and over a hundred player models, inspired by & ported from many Half-Life 1 and Source engine mods.

History

Jabroni Brawl started out as a revival & successor of Jimbomcb's Jaykin' Bacon: Source, a(n ironically) HL1DM/GoldSrc mod, with "a bunch of incongruous weapons, and a bunch of incongruous maps" and gamemodes inspired by Rocket Crowbar and Scientist Hunt. The revival was originally called Jaykin' Bacon: Episode 3, a nod to Valve not releasing a third episode of the Half-Life 2 episodic series. The project was led by Jimbomcm and postal.

The project went on a hiatus after the announcement in February 2014. In April 2018, postal announced the project was still being worked on, attributing the hiatus to the other project lead's real-life job, various SDK bug fixes that had made the mod unstable, and an attempted port to Unreal Engine 4.

On July 11th, 2018, the project announced it was rebranding to Jabroni Brawl: Episode 3.

The game unfortunately released to Steam on November 11th, 2022.
