Brawl Stars Loaded Showdown power-ups come in three types: permanent boosts, temporary consumables and items you carry. The November 2026 update refreshed the mode with five permanent buffs, three ten-second consumables, two named carryables and four themed item sets that change what you can pick up during an event.
The biggest mistake is treating every pickup as though it works for the same length of time. Reload and attack-range improvements are permanent for the match, while Invisibility, Ghost Walk and Piercing expire after ten seconds. The UFO has a much shorter fuse, so knowing what you’ve collected matters when a fight begins.
Brawl Stars Loaded Showdown power-ups: all permanent buffs
Five permanent power-ups can appear in every item set. Reload Speed helps you get attacks ready again sooner. Super Charge Rate helps refill your Super, while Life Steal returns Health when you damage opponents. Attack Range makes it easier to pressure enemies from further away, and Gadget Cooldown Rate reduces the wait between Gadget uses.
These effects suit different Brawlers. A short-range character may welcome extra attack range, while one whose kit depends on a Gadget can make more use of reduced cooldowns. Life Steal rewards hitting opponents, so it won’t rescue you just for hiding in a safe corner.
Supercell hasn’t published a universal percentage for every buff in these notes. For precise Life Steal percentages or pickup drop chances, check the current event details in-game.
Brawl Stars Loaded Showdown power-ups: ten-second consumables
Invisibility conceals your Brawler for up to ten seconds, ending early when you attack. That makes it a tool for changing position or preparing an encounter, not an invitation to fire continuously while unseen.
Ghost Walk lets you pass through walls and water for ten seconds. It can change the route you take away from danger or into an objective. Piercing also lasts ten seconds and allows attacks to go through walls and characters. Unlike Ghost Walk, it changes what your shots can pass through rather than where you can move.
A good approach is to identify the consumable before using it. Treating Ghost Walk like Piercing can leave you trying to shoot through a wall without the right effect, while activating Invisibility too early may waste most of its duration before you meet anyone.
Brawl Stars Loaded Showdown power-ups: UFO and Bomb
The UFO lets you fly over walls and uses a pull beam to levitate characters beneath it. It self-destructs 6.6 seconds after you pick it up. You need to make that short window count, whether you’re moving across an obstacle or trying to interrupt an enemy.
The Bomb also appears as a carryable. Supercell says its explosion radius has been increased slightly to better match the visual effect, but doesn’t give a new numeric radius. Don’t plan around a claimed exact tile count that wasn’t included in the announcement.
Four Brawl Stars Loaded Showdown power-ups item sets
Loaded Showdown events use one themed selection at a time. The Mobility set contains Speeder and UFO. Throwables contains Bomb, Shuriken and Boulder. Ghosts contains Ghost Walk, Invisibility and Piercing. Boosters contains Energy Drink and Hypercharge.
All four sets also include the full selection of permanent power-ups. That detail is easy to miss: the themed list tells you which special items are in that event, not that Reload Speed or Life Steal have been removed from the mode.
If you enjoy changing how you fight, the Ghosts set opens up different angles through walls and brief stealth, while the Mobility set is more about reaching or escaping positions. Throwables encourage short opportunities to pressure from a distance. Boosters offer a different kind of immediate power. None of those sets is automatically available at all times.
How to decide which item to take
Ask what will matter in your next encounter. If an opponent outranges you, a permanent range improvement can do more work over the whole match than a one-off escape. If you’re already under pressure, a movement item may solve the urgent problem first.
For Brawl Stars Loaded Showdown power-ups, remember the different timers: permanent bonuses last for the match, the three named consumables last ten seconds and the UFO destroys itself 6.6 seconds after pickup. The official patch notes don’t give a complete event calendar or exact item spawn rates.
