ONI Snakes Free Rewards: Coins, Gems, Chests and the Star Pass
ONI Games · Published
Every reward ONI Snakes: Armored Arena hands out for playing: coins per match and per rank, free gems, the three chest slots and their odds, the Star Pass, contracts and the Black Market, trophies and leagues, weekly events and mastery, and what to spend on first.
Everything in ONI Snakes: Armored Arena can be earned by playing. Here is every source of coins, gems, chests and blueprints, with the real amounts from the game, and what to spend them on first.
We make ONI Snakes, so every number here comes from the game's code.
Coins
- Every match: 35% of your score, plus 6 per stripped snake, 4 per crash kill and 1 per plate knocked off; doubled for 1st place, times 1.6 for 2nd and 1.4 for 3rd.
- Match extras: a supply drop pays 30, a boss 150, the Golden Snake 50 plus 15 per wave, every jackpot orb 8 and every piece of food in the Gold Minute 3.
- Win streak: finish in the top 10 again and again. Two in a row add 10% to a match's coins, three or more 25%, and a broken streak can be saved with a video.
- Your set: a whole set worn together adds 5% (Common) to 20% (Mythic) to your match coins.
- Ranks: 50 coins plus 15 for each rank number, 30,385 coins in all on the way to rank 60.
- Campaign: the first clear of each level pays 40 coins plus 10 per level number, 9,800 coins for all 40.
- Leagues: the first time you reach a division it pays 150 coins in Bronze, 300 in Silver, 450 in Gold, 600 in Platinum, 750 in Diamond and 900 in Mythic.
- Events: in a Gold Rush week, event matches pay double coins.
- Lucky Wheel: a free spin every hour, and extra spins for videos: 200 coins, 15 gems, boosters or set blueprints.
Gems
- Ranks: 5 gems every rank and 15 every fifth, 415 gems on the way to rank 60.
- The album: a whole set pays 20 to 250 gems and a whole collection 100 per set in it, up to 1,000: 12,130 gems for completing everything.
- Videos: the shop gives 2 gems a video, 3 videos a day.
- The Lucky Wheel, the Star Pass and events pay gems among their other rewards.
Chests
Three chest slots fill as you play, and each one shows the chest it is working towards:
| Slot | How it fills | Common | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battle | finish in the top 10 three times | 50% | 33% | 14% | 3% |
| Hunter | destroy 10 snakes | 45% | 35% | 16% | 4% |
| Free | every 4 hours, or at once for a video | 72% | 23% | 5% | - |
An Epic or better chest is guaranteed after 9 chests without one, and a Legendary after 40. A chest pays coins, gems, boosters and blueprints, and Epic and better chests can add Wild blueprints. Mythic chests never sit in a slot: they come only from 120 Campaign stars and from completing one of the big collections.
More chests come from the Campaign (boss first clears and every 15 stars), the Daily Challenge (a Rare chest for the first run of the day and one for your final place), the weekly league and new leagues: Rare for reaching Silver, Epic for Gold and Platinum, Legendary for Diamond and Mythic.
The Star Pass
A new Star Pass starts every month: 35 tiers of 100 stars each. Stars come from every match, daily quests and contracts. Every tier has a free reward and a premium one; the premium row is a single purchase for the month and pays every tier you already reached at once. Each month has three sets of its own: an Epic set in the free row at tier 30, and a Legendary set at tier 20 and a Mythic set at tier 35 in the premium row. The free row also holds a chest on every fifth tier.
Contracts, tokens and the Black Market
Contracts pay tokens and stars: one three-hour contract at a time, with a new one every three hours, and three weekly contracts from Monday to Sunday. Daily quests pay a few too.
Spend tokens in the Black Market, the one place where you pick exactly which blueprints you get. It has six offers a day: three set stacks, one gun, one drone and 5 Wild blueprints for 80 tokens. A stack costs 20 tokens (15 Common blueprints), 35 (10 Rare), 60 (7 Epic) or 100 (4 Legendary). New offers come at midnight UTC, or sooner for 20 gems.
Trophies and leagues
Trophies move with your place in every match except the Campaign:
| Place | Trophies | In Ranked |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | +12 | +24 |
| 2nd | +10 | +20 |
| 3rd | +9 | +18 |
| 4th to 5th | +7 | +14 |
| 6th to 10th | +5 | +10 |
| 11th to 15th | +2 | +4 |
| 16th to 20th | 0 | -2 from Silver, -4 in Diamond and Mythic |
| 21st and lower | -1 from Gold, -2 in Diamond and Mythic | -4 from Silver, -6 in Diamond and Mythic |
There are six leagues of three divisions each: Bronze from 0 trophies, Silver from 300, Gold 800, Platinum 1,600, Diamond 2,800 and Mythic 4,500. Every week you also race 20 AI rivals for the most trophies won that week, and your final place pays a chest when the next week starts: Legendary for 1st, Epic for 2nd and 3rd, Rare for 4th to 10th and Common after that.
Weekly events
Every week, Monday to Sunday UTC, brings an event, taking turns: Gold Rush, where every piece of food is gold and event matches pay double coins, and Titans, where every snake starts with 45 plates. Event matches earn points for a 10-tier event pass, and the event calendar pays a reward for every day you log in, a whole set on the seventh.
Mastery and style
Trails, kill effects and kill banners are only for show, and they open with mastery. Every match pays mastery XP: 8 for every snake you take out, plus 40 for 1st place, 25 for 2nd or 3rd, 10 for the rest of the top 10 and 3 otherwise. Each mastery level from 2 to 25 opens the next of 24 pieces (12 trails, 6 kill effects and 6 kill banners), and any piece can be bought sooner for 120 to 400 gems.
Videos
Videos are always optional. One doubles a match's coins on the results screen, opens the Free chest at once, gives an extra wheel spin, pays 2 gems in the shop or saves a broken win streak.
What to spend on first
- Coins: level the set you wear and your gun first, because you carry their levels into every match, and buy the Uzi or Rifle as soon as your rank opens them.
- Tokens: Wild blueprints and stacks for the item you are about to assemble or promote.
- Gems: keep them for a set or gun you really want before its rank; everything else comes with time.

FAQ
How do I get free gems in ONI Snakes?
Rank up (5 gems a rank, 15 every fifth), complete sets and collections in the album (up to 12,130 gems in all), watch the shop's 3 daily videos (2 gems each), and play the Star Pass, the Lucky Wheel and events.
How do I get Legendary chests?
A Hunter chest has the best odds (4%), and an Epic or better chest is guaranteed after 9 chests without one, a Legendary after 40. Boss first clears from sector 3 on, 75 and 105 Campaign stars, 1st place in the weekly league or the Daily Challenge, the last tier of the event pass, reaching Diamond and completing a small collection all pay a Legendary chest too.
Can you buy chests in ONI Snakes?
Not on their own: the shop never sells chests. They come from playing, and the premium Star Pass row holds a few among its rewards.
