Supercell deployed a scheduled maintenance update for Brawl Stars on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, to address existing bugs and manage exclusive cosmetic distributions. However, players reported widespread technical failures immediately following the downtime, including a total lockout from the new Oddities Store.
The glitch prevents users from accessing daily offers and displays a broken interface. According to PiunikaWeb, the system triggers an error message to users attempting to enter the shop.
“Ain’t a single oddity left: You’re a menace with that wallet.” states the in-game notification.
Reports from players on Reddit and X indicate the update caused distorted menus, missing resource icons, and blank sections where paid offers typically appear. Some users claimed the shop remained non-functional across multiple alternate accounts, though PiunikaWeb noted that some players eventually saw the issue resolve after a waiting period.
Prior to this shop failure, Supercell had outlined a plan to revoke incorrectly distributed exclusive cosmetics and provide restitution. This followed a previous issue where the Ultra Trophy Box failed to deliver guaranteed Epic skins after the introduction of Damian, the game’s 102nd brawler.
The developer confirmed that a solution is already in progress via a statement shared on X. The maintenance was intended to revoke items and begin a tiered compensation process based on how players were affected by the cosmetic bug.
| Affected Category | Compensation Amount |
|---|---|
| Oddities Shop Purchases | 750 to 1500 Bling |
| Drops or Boxes Items | 600 Bling per item |
| General Players (Uninvolved) | 1000 Bling |
| Ultra Trophy Box Glitch | 5000 Bling |
The 5,000 Bling reward was specifically designated for all players following the Ultra Trophy Box error, as reported by EGW-News. This currency is distributed in addition to the smaller amounts intended for the earlier cosmetic distribution errors.
Community reaction has been largely critical of the current compensation amounts and the failure of the latest patch. Some fans argued that 5,000 Bling is insufficient to cover the cost of premium cosmetic skins, especially following multiple technical errors in a single week.
Supercell noted that because of the high volume of affected accounts, it may take several days for all rewards to reach player profiles. The company continues to monitor the shop stability as users demand further nerfs for the new brawler Damian and more robust testing for future updates.
