Beginner tips
- You start with an Assault Rifle, Handgun, Fists and a Grenade, so learn those before spending Keys.
- Practise sprinting, sliding and jumping in the Shooting Range before jumping into duels.
- Switch to your secondary instead of reloading in the open mid-fight.
- Don't peek the same corner twice after someone has spotted you.
- Many standard weapons cost 25 Keys or less, while premium ones cost 300-700 Keys, so pick your first unlock to fill a gap in your loadout.
How to earn Keys
- Weapon contracts pay Keys at milestones (for example, early kill and playtime goals on weapons you own).
- Daily and streak tasks, reworked in Update 22, also give rewards.
- Codes such as the FREE series usually give 3 Keys each; redeem new ones quickly because they rotate.
Getting into Ranked
- Finish 10 normal duels first (wins and losses both count).
- Verify your account (phone number, Robux spend or ID; email doesn't count) and have an account at least 14 days old.
- Play 10 placement matches to reveal your starting rank.
- Beating higher-rated players gives more ELO; party members must be within about 4 tiers of each other.
