This article is a stub. You can help Overload Wiki by expanding it.

The Overload Level Editor is a tool for creating levels for Overload. Only Single Player and Challenge Mode levels are supported right now. The current version of the editor is 1.0.1.0.

The editor is split into five areas:

• Geometry - Creating the 3D space using cube segments;
• Texturing - Applying textures to geometry;
• Entities - Adding interactive elements which can affect gameplay and powerups;
• Decals - Detailing spaces with 3D models and light objects for extra geometry and decoration;
• Global Data - Adjusting data which affect the overall rendering of the map within the game, such as terrain deformation type.

The editor is available as free DLC on Steam. Although installing it will launch Overload, it will be downloaded and ready to use the next time you try to launch the game.
