What to do in your first 30 minutes
- Redeem the free codes. Press J (or the gold chest button, top left), open Codes and enter ABILITY, UPDATE_3, TRIALS. They are listed as giving Lucky spins and a Legendary chest. All codes →
- Pick a class. Sword & Shield is the safest start because of the shield; Spear gives reach; Bow is best with friends. Classes →
- Train Strength in the prison gym. Push the barbells. It is the main way to get stronger between fights.
- Join Survival. Solo works, but a squad of up to 4 can revive each other. Early waves are where you learn enemy patterns.
- Open your chests and equip the best gear. Gear runs from Common to Mythic; complete sets give bonuses.
- Spend skill points and pick boons. Skill points go into the skill tree permanently; boons are chosen during a run.

Beginner mistakes to avoid
- Buying chests before using codes. Several codes are listed as giving free Epic and Legendary chests.
- Paying for Berserker on day one. It costs 799 Robux but is free at level 50, and you will reach that by playing Survival anyway.
- Playing late waves alone without revives. From wave 21 the arena turns blood red. A squad that can revive you goes much further.
- Ignoring set bonuses. Completing a set gives a bonus, so check what you would lose before swapping one set piece for a random higher-rarity drop.
