Gems are one of the two main currencies in the game, with the other being Credits.
Obtaining[]
There are multiple ways to obtain Gems.
- Collectible gems can fall from the sky normally during a round. Rounds with higher Intensity tend to drop more gems than ones with lower Intensity. Gems glow brightly, making them obvious.
- A player can spawn a Gem Rain. If done, a shower of gems falls on the map.
- Gems can fall in the Lobby, although it is very rare.
- Gems can be purchased with Robux.
- Besides the normal gem packs, the VIP gamepass grants 150 gems and the now-removed Starter Pack gamepass granted 5 gems.
- Gems can be obtained by completing Challenges.
- Gems can be obtained by earning badges.
- Gems can spawn in caves.
- Gems can spawn by mining terrain with the Pickaxe skill.
Usage[]
Gems can be used as an alternative to Credits when purchasing skills and perks. Furthermore, Gems can be used to increase/decrease the next round's Intensity, start a Gem Rain, spawn an Event Icon, purchase special Skill Packs, get a personal one-round boost, or spawn a Supercharge Soda.
