If you enjoy making things, one of the coolest things about Brawl Stars is the Map Maker. You get to design your own levels, play them with some friends, and even publish them for anyone to try out. This sounds like a blast! Let’s walk through this in super simple terms so you can create your own map.
What exactly is the Map Maker in Brawl Stars?
Brawl Stars has something special for its players: it’s the Map Maker. You can whip up your own Brawl Stars maps using a collection of tiles & obstacles. The game also lets you choose from a variety of game modes when making your map, so you can really get creative.
Just keep in mind you’ll need to get to that 1000 trophy mark in the game before you’ll have access to this feature. Once you’ve unlocked it, you can get started making maps from scratch right in the menu.
You can save a whole bunch of maps to work on at once; up to 5, that is, and can always go back & fiddle with them later.
Step 1: Begin Making a Map
Follow these simple instructions to use Brawl Stars, Map Maker:
- Open the game menu.
- Go to “Map Maker”.
- Select “Create New.”
- Select a game mode, such as Brawl Ball, Showdown, or Gem Grab.
- Give a name to your map.
Your map will then open in editing mode, which is when the fun starts.
Step 2: Recognise the Editing Tools
The editor is simple and user-friendly. There will be a grid where you may arrange things such as:
- Walls and blocks
- Bushes (to hide players)
- Water (blocks movement)
- Launch pads and teleporters
- Power cube boxes and zones
Each item changes how the game feels. For example, bushes help players hide, while open spaces make fights faster. You can also use mirror modes to make your map balanced on both sides. This is very useful for fair gameplay.
Step 3: Follow Placement Rules
While using the Map Maker in Brawl Stars, you must follow some basic rules:
- No blocked areas that players cannot escape.
- No illegal gaps or broken layouts.
- Important objects (like a goal or a gem mine) cannot be moved.
If something is wrong, the game will highlight it in red so you can fix it before saving.
Step 4: Test Your Map
Before sharing your creation, you should test it.
- Play your map in Friendly Games.
- Invite friends or play with bots.
- Check if the map feels fair and fun.
Testing is very important because it helps you improve your design and fix mistakes.
Step 5: Submit Your Map
Once your map is ready:
- Click Submit.
- Ask friends to play and rate your map.
If your map gets enough positive votes (at least 50% approval), it can move forward and get published.
Step 6: Get Featured and Win!
The best part of using the Map Maker in Brawl Stars is seeing your map go live! Approved maps appear in “Candidates of the Day”.
- Players vote on your map.
- The best one becomes “Winner of the Day”.
Even better? You don’t lose trophies while playing these maps, so it’s all about fun and creativity.
Tips to Make Better Maps
Here are some quick tips to improve your maps:
- Keep the map balanced for both teams.
- Don’t overcrowd with too many obstacles.
- Mix open and closed spaces.
- Test multiple times before submitting.
- Take feedback seriously.
Great maps are not just random; they are fun, fair, and creative.
The Map Maker in Brawl Stars is more than just a feature; it’s a playground for your imagination. It’s up to you whether you want to make balanced competitive maps or wild entertaining ones. So feel free to experiment and design, and perhaps thousands of gamers worldwide may play your map in the future. Happy map-making, Brawler!
