Gem

The gem currency icon.

This article is about the currency. For the former pick-up, see Gem (Removed Pick-Up).

The Gem Gem is a type of currency introduced in the 9.0.0 update as a premium currency.

Appearance[]

It appears to be a shaded blue and pixelated gem.

Use[]

Gems are used for buying gadgets, accessories, and weapons. They can also be used to upgrade weapons to a player's current Level instantly, instead of upgrading it one by one with Coin. If a weapon is at a player's current level, they can use gems to upgrade it to the next quality: 100 gems for epic, 300 gems for legendary, and 900 gems for mythical.

Spending[]

Gems can be spent on:

Obtaining[]

When you kill someone you can be lucky and they drop 1 gem when they die. This rarely happens unless you have crafted something like the Great Trees in the lobby in Craft; it increases your chance of gem drop from other players.

One can obtain a certain amount of gems by purchasing them via in-app purchase. If you want to earn gems without buying, here are all of the methods below.

  • In the 9.0.0 update, also known as the update where the gems were introduced, they can be obtained (without buying) by leveling up (you earn a certain amount of gems depending on your current level) and by the Bonus Marathon (which is currently the Lucky Chest).
  • As of the 10.1.0 update, players can earn 10 Gem each by logging in on Facebook and/or Twitter, a free gun called the Social Uzi, and a skin called Social Hero. They earn 10 Gem by each connection, making a maximum of 20 Gem obtainable via social media connections.
  • As of the 10.5.0 update, the advertisement-based free Coin were replaced by Gem, so watching the advertisements will give players at least 3 Gem each, much like the old Coin counterparts.
    • As of the 12.0.0 update, instead of earning 1 Gem per advertisement based video, a change has been made, which is earning 2 Gem per advertisement based video instead, every 3 minutes. However, there still is a limit of how many Gem you can earn in one day.
  • As of the 10.5.0 update, secret Campaign Gem were introduced into Pixel Gun 3D. Instead of just finding Coin in Campaign, players can also find Gem.
  • In the 10.6.0 update, in multiplayer, there is a 1% chance of a victim dropping a Gem. However, anyone can pick it up, so obtain it before someone else does. Also, watch out for Fake Bonuses.
  • In the 11.2.0 update, players can get 50 Gem after reaching the Champion League if they are in the top 100 players in the weekly Tournament, making Gem collecting way easier, especially if they are very active in Pixel Gun 3D.
  • As of the 10.2.0 update, the Lucky Chest, which was actually called the "Gift Box" at that time, was another way to earn Gem. You usually earn, Coin etc. but sometimes, 3, 5, 10 or even 50 Gem can be obtained.
    • Also, as of the 11.2.0 update, 3 Gem take over as the number one possible amount of Gem earned in the Lucky Chest. Plus, Gem, along with Coin, are the most likely things to be obtained from the Lucky Chest, but this only applies to Android devices.
  • In the 12.0.0 update, it is now possible to obtain 1 Gem per day, using the Driller device.
  • The Fake Bonus is a gem with a planted C4 on one of the sides.
  • Watching ads now give 10 gems.
  • They were obtainable in Black Market but they no longer appear.
    • The time between ads have been decreased as well.
  • You can get large amounts of Gem from participating in the Clan War; up to 100 Gem.
    • You will get less coming first in lower leagues.

Prices[]

The ongoing rate is roughly 27-36 gems for a dollar, with the larger packages having slightly better rates. See more in In-App Purchases.

Trivia[]

  • In Dangerous Roads, there is a market stand full of gems on the blue team's side.
  • As of the 10.5.0 update, when obtaining a Gem, the sound effect has been modified, making it sound different from the Coin's sound effect.
  • In Mining Camp, on team 1's side, there are two caverns that are used for mining gems.
    • However, these the gems are for the background.
    • It's possibly a reference that half of the weapons in Pixel Gun 3D cost gems.
  • In the 11.1.0 update, the dropped gem has changed its texture to a new one. But then in the 11.2.0 update, it changed back to the old texture due to the fact that players were seeing a difference between a dropped gem and a Fake Bonus.
  • In the 12.5.0 update, the gem multiplier was modified, but this has been reverted in the 12.5.1 update due to immense criticism by the playerbase for not listening to their views on the game.
  • In the 17.6.0 update, on Pixel Gun 3D's 7th anniversary, every player received 100 gems as a gift for the celebration.
  • On 14/04/2021, there was a bug where if you picked up a gem, you would get hundreds, even thousands of gems. This was patched minutes later and the people who got the gems got rolled back.
  • Gems at this moment in time are pretty much the main currency of the game.
