Weapon Upgrades — Pixel Gun 3D: PC Edition Guide

Learn how to upgrade weapons in Pixel Gun 3D! Discover the best ways to spend your gems and coins on powerful gear to dominate the battlefield.

Hey there! So you're diving into Pixel Gun 3D and wondering about weapon upgrades? It's a big part of getting better, but don't worry, I've got your back. When you first start, you get some basic weapons. They're fine for the early levels, but once you hit level 12, you'll want to start looking for something better. My advice? Grab a solid weapon that costs coins first. It'll make progressing through the levels way smoother. And when you start racking up gems, save them for upgrading the good weapons you already have. ## Ways To Get Gems! Gems are super important, so here's how you can snag some: * Leveling Up: You get free gems as you level up, but there's a limit to how many levels there are. * Surveys & Offers: You can do these for gems, but be careful – they might ask for personal info, and sometimes you don't even get the gems. I'd only suggest this if you're really desperate. * Real Money: If you want a head start or just to speed things up later on, buying gems is an option. * Tournaments: Compete and win! * Lucky Chests: Sometimes you get lucky here. * Events (Chests): Keep an eye on special events. * Watch Ads: You can usually get around 20 gems a day, sometimes up to 40 if you log in early. * Driller: This gives you 1 gem every 24 hours. * Battle Pass: Progress through the Battle Pass for rewards. * Campaign Secrets: Explore and find hidden gems. * Opponent Drops: If you're lucky, enemies might drop a gem you can pick up. * Duel Chests: Win chests from opponents in Duel. Just make sure you're confident you can win, because if you lose, you'll lose your gems! ## Importance of Gems Okay, listen up: don't waste your gems on Lucky Chests (unless it's for a Battle Pass challenge) or in Sandbox. Seriously, avoid spending them on stuff that's not going to help you long-term. Sandbox, in particular, doesn't have any truly useful gear to buy. Instead, save those gems for upgrading your weapons. A good rule of thumb is to upgrade your weapon setup every 10 levels, or whenever you get a weapon that really makes a difference. ## Event/ Clan / Part Weapons Some weapons take a ton of effort to get. Event weapons often have way better stats than others. Clan weapons are usually a bit easier to grab, but don't count them out – they can be just as powerful, if not more so, than some Event weapons. ## Coin Weapons You Should Buy If you're playing F2P and saving your gems, or just trying to get your economy back on track, these coin weapons are fantastic starting points: * Primary: Impulse Rifle, Minigun Shotgun, Automatic Peacemaker, Stakegun, Photon Shotgun, Icicle Minigun. * Backup: Dead Star, Minigun Pistol, Desert Eagle, Hitman Pistol, Mercenary. * Melee: Combat Yo-Yo, Elder Force Saber, Storm Hammer, Fire Demon, Katana. * Special: Laser Bouncer, Trapper, Electromagnetic Cannon, Poison Darts, Pet Dragon. * Sniper: One Shot, Charge Rifle, Prototype, Shaman's Bow, Future Sniper Rifle. * Heavy: Adamant Bomber, Deadly Beat, Piranha, Armageddon. ## Best Way To Practice Your Aim!
