Brawl Stars Hack: can you download a Brawl Stars mod?

Brawl Stars Free Gems: Should You Trust Websites?
When something is too good to be true, it almost always is. A website offering legendary characters, gems or coins is not trustworthy: ever! The only free and legit way to get gems in Brawl Stars is to earn them in the battle pass. You can also buy them in the shop.
