Pixel Gun 3D is a mobile and PC shooter game that utilizes two primary in-game currencies: Coins and Gems. Coins are used for standard purchases such as weapons, armor, and gadgets, while Gems serve as the premium currency for exclusive items and faster upgrades. Because these resources are essential for gameplay progression but can be difficult to accumulate, many players seek legitimate ways to obtain them without spending real money. Based on the provided documentation, there are several methods available for acquiring free currency, ranging from redeeming promotional codes to engaging with in-game ad systems.

How to Redeem Codes
The redemption process is generally consistent across platforms, though there is documentation suggesting a potential conflict between redeeming codes on PC versus mobile devices. The standard process for redeeming codes is as follows:
- Launch Pixel Gun 3D.
- Locate the currency or store interface. Sources describe this as pressing the '+' icon in the top-right corner of the screen or selecting the "Free Gift ID" button.
- Scroll to the right to find the "Redeem promo code" option.
- Enter the valid code into the text field.
- Press "Confirm" to receive the rewards.
In-Game Ad Viewing
One of the most consistent methods for earning free currency involves watching advertisements. This feature is accessed through the "Free Currency" chest located in the game lobby.
Mechanics of the Free Currency Chest
- History: The chest was introduced in update 9.3.0 as the "Free Coins chest," updated in 10.5.0 to offer only gems, and updated in 12.5.3 to offer both currencies.
- Process: Players are required to watch an advertisement-based video for approximately 30 seconds. The exact duration depends on the length of the video.
- Cooldown and Batching: There is a cooldown period between uses. Documentation suggests a 12-hour cooldown, allowing for the chest to be accessed twice daily.
Earning Potential
Documentation provides specific data regarding the efficiency of watching ads. * Batch Rewards: Watching a "full batch" of advertisements (defined as 5 advertisements) takes approximately 10 minutes. * Batch Yield: A full batch yields roughly 30 Gems and 45 Coins. * Daily Yield: By adhering to the schedule and utilizing the 12-hour cooldown, a player can watch up to two batches per day. * Daily Total: Up to 60 Gems and 90 Coins. * Weekly Total: If maintained for a week, this method can yield approximately 210 Gems and 315 Coins.
External Sources and Social Engagement
Beyond direct in-game actions, documentation highlights methods involving external platforms and social interaction.
- Social Media: Linking the game account to social media profiles or following official accounts (Discord, X, Facebook) can provide access to special giveaways and freebies.
- Events: The game periodically hosts events. Participating in these events is cited as a method to earn rewards.
- Clans: Joining a Clan allows players to participate in Clan Wars and complete Clan Challenges. Successful participation can yield Gems and Coins as rewards.
Platform Specificity
Users should note that there is a distinction between codes for PC and mobile versions. * Mobile: Active codes for iOS and Android are frequently listed in the documentation. * PC: Documentation suggests that there are no known working codes for the PC version at the time of the reporting.
Conclusion
The documentation outlines a structured approach to acquiring free currency in Pixel Gun 3D. The most reliable methods appear to be the consistent utilization of the in-game "Free Currency" chest via ad watching, which offers a calculable daily yield, and the redemption of promotional codes released through official social channels. Players are advised to monitor official community hubs for the release of new codes, as these often have limited redemption windows.
