Hill Climb Racing 2How to Get the Most Free Coins in Hill Climb Racing 2
In Hill Climb Racing 2 Gems drop mostly inside chests, and chests are earned by racing. These are the free sources and the order in which it makes sense to work through them.
What is the fastest and most efficient way to get Coins in Hill Climb Racing 2?
The game's economy is organised around chests. Inside them you get Coins, Gems, upgrade parts and customisations, and the quality depends on the chest's rarity and on your rank: the higher you climb, the more and better they drop. Coins pay for vehicle upgrades, which is what actually makes you competitive; Gems are the scarce currency and are used mostly to buy chests, speed things up and unlock extras in events. Almost every activity in the game hands out chests, so the problem is not where to get them but making sure you do not miss any.
Every day
- One free chest every 8 hours plus three more per video in each window
The free chests every eight hours
The game hands out a free chest three times a day, one every eight hours, and in each of those windows it also lets you watch three videos for three extra chests. The basic free chest sits at around 1,125 Coins along with one Gem and a handful of common parts. It looks like little per unit, but six chests a day build up a considerable pile of Coins by the end of the month. It is the first thing to do when you open the game, because the timer does not run while a chest is sitting uncollected.
- Extra chests for simple objectives
Daily tasks
Daily tasks ask for things you would do anyway: race a number of times, reach a certain distance or use a specific vehicle. Completing them hands out chests on top of the free timed ones. The advantage is that they shape your session: if a task forces you to take out a car you never touch, you end up discovering which vehicle performs best on which track. Chaining them with cup races means the same twenty-minute session covers two reward sources at once.
- One chest per cup following a fixed sequence of 111 cups
Winning cups and moving along the trophy road
Multiplayer races hand out trophies and cups, and cup chests follow a fixed sequence of 111 positions, so you can tell when a good one is coming. In parallel, the trophy road hands out prizes for crossing score thresholds, and it is one of the few routes where customisations that normal chests never give show up. Climbing ranks also improves the contents of every chest you open afterwards, so competing does not just hand out prizes: it revalues all your other sources.
- Chests for distance milestones
Adventure mode and distance chests
Adventure mode hands out chests as you hit distance marks on each track. Unlike multiplayer, you are not competing against anyone here, so it is the natural place for relaxed sessions and for testing new upgrades without losing trophies. Combined with the adventure trove chests, it provides a steady flow of Coins and parts. It is also the mode where tuning your vehicle pays off most before going back to cups, because you can repeat the same track and measure the improvement.
Every week
- Free boosters, among them 10,000 Coins or a common chest
Weekly public events
Public events start and finish on Wednesdays at 9:00 UTC and unlock once you reach silver rank. Every four matches fills a bar that offers boosters: two of the three options are free, and among them are 10,000 Coins instantly, a common chest, an event ticket or extra points. There is a paid pass, but the free route already hands out prizes by tier and gives access to the event shop. Marking Wednesday in your calendar keeps you from arriving late with your tickets barely gathered.
One time only
- Between 250 and 4,000 Coins per repeated customisation
Making the most of duplicates
When a chest gives you a customisation you already own, the game automatically converts it into Coins. The amount depends on the item's rarity and on the chest: basic chests compensate with between 250 and 1,000 Coins, while rare, epic, champion, legendary and high-tier team chests pay between 1,000 and 4,000. In other words, having a full catalogue does not devalue chests, it turns them into a steady source of Coins for upgrades.
Events only
- Distance and team spirit chests, plus the monthly boss chest
Joining an active team
Teams add a layer of rewards that simply does not exist solo. You need at least five members to take part in a team event, and the distance and spirit chests are fed by what everybody contributes. The boss chest only opens once a month, at the close of each season, and it is one of the best in the game. The practical consequence is that an inactive team costs you money: if yours does not fill its objectives, it is worth switching before the next season starts.
What does not work
No generator can add Coins to your Hill Climb Racing 2 account: the balance is handled on the game’s servers and there is no way to touch it from outside. If you arrived looking for one, we explain in detail how they work on the inside and why they always end the same way.

How do you get free Gems in Hill Climb Racing 2?
Gems come out of chests, so the strategy is opening every one the game gives away: the three free timed ones, the three per video in each window, the daily task ones, the cup ones, the adventure distance ones, the event ones and the team ones. The basic free chest includes one Gem, and better rarities contribute larger amounts as your rank rises.
How many free chests can you get in a day?
At least six from the timer route alone: one free chest every eight hours and three more for watching videos in that same window, three times a day. On top of that come those from daily tasks, cups won, adventure distance milestones and events. The practical limit is not the number of chests but the time you spend racing to unlock them.
What should you prioritise, Coins or Gems?
Coins, without a doubt. They are what pays for vehicle upgrades, and a well-tuned car wins more races, climbs ranks and makes every subsequent chest drop better contents. Gems are convenient for buying chests or speeding things up, but spending them there does not fix a weak vehicle. Saving them until you know exactly what you are missing usually pays off more than spending them as they drop.
Why is it worth being part of an active team?
Because it unlocks rewards that do not exist playing solo: distance and spirit chests fed by every member, and the boss chest, which opens once a month at the close of the season and is among the best in the game. You need five members to take part in team events, so a barely active group leaves prizes uncollected every season.
