Codes and gamepasses are the two main ways to accelerate progression in Dino Hunters beyond pure gameplay. Codes are free, time-limited, and distributed through the Roblox Community Group. Gamepasses are paid, permanent, and purchased through the Roblox game page. This FAQ answers the most common questions about both systems.
Codes
Where do I redeem Dino Hunters codes? Open Dino Hunters, look for the Twitter icon on the main menu screen, click it, paste your code into the input box, and press Redeem. The reward appears in your in-game inbox within 5-10 seconds.
How often are new codes released? Fishgig Game releases codes with each major update — typically every 2-4 weeks. Minor patches occasionally include codes too, but the cadence is roughly monthly.
Do codes expire? Yes. Most codes expire within 7-14 days of release. Fishgig Game announces expiration dates in the code's tweet, but the in-game redemption window often closes silently. Redeem codes the day they drop.
Where do I find active codes? The official source is the Roblox Community Group (ID 999381953). Fishgig Game posts new codes in the group wall. Secondary sources include the r/DinoHunters subreddit and the Fandom Wiki codes page.
Can I redeem a code multiple times? No. Each code is one redemption per Roblox account. Multiple redemptions on the same account return an error.
Do codes work on Private Servers? Yes. Codes are tied to your Roblox account, not the server. Redeem once, and the reward applies across all servers.
What rewards do codes give? Common rewards include 500-2,000 coins, 10-50 gems, 1-3 free Weapon Crates, and occasionally 2x coin/2x XP boosts lasting 30-60 minutes. Event-specific codes sometimes grant cosmetic items.
Are codes region-locked? No. Codes work globally. The redemption system does not check IP or region.
Why didn't my code work? The most common reason is expiration. Other reasons include typos (codes are case-sensitive), already-redeemed (one per account), or the code was for a different game.
Gamepasses
What does the VIP Pass do? The VIP Pass (499 Robux, one-time) gives permanent 2x coins, 2x XP, daily gems (25-50), exclusive cosmetics, and a free crate even on missed login days. It is the best Robux value in the game.
Is the 2x Coins gamepass worth it? Only if you don't have the VIP Pass. The VIP Pass already includes 2x coins, so the standalone gamepass is redundant for VIP holders.
What's the difference between Coins Pack S and L? Coins Pack S (99 Robux) gives 5,000 coins. Coins Pack L (249 Robux) gives 15,000 coins. The L Pack has a slightly better coin-per-Robux ratio, but VIP's 2x multiplier on earned coins is dramatically better value over time.
Can I refund a gamepass? No. Roblox gamepass purchases are final. Verify you want the gamepass before purchasing.
Do gamepasses stack? Yes. VIP Pass + 2x Coins + Coins Pack L can stack. The VIP 2x coins is independent of the standalone 2x coins gamepass (so VIP holders get 2x, not 4x).
Are gamepasses shared across Roblox accounts? No. Gamepasses are tied to the purchasing Roblox account. Family members on different accounts must each buy their own gamepass.
Do gamepasses work on Private Servers? Yes. The gamepass perks (2x coins, daily gems) apply regardless of server type. Private Servers add the perk of biome persistence and member control.
What's the best first gamepass to buy? VIP Pass. No exceptions. The 2x coins + 2x XP + daily gems bundle pays back the 499 Robux within 30-40 days of active play.
Can I gift a gamepass to another player? Yes. Open the Dino Hunters game page, click the gamepass, and select "Gift Pass." You pay the Robux; the recipient gets the gamepass on their account.
Code + Gamepass Strategy
Should I redeem codes before or after buying VIP? Redeem codes first — they are time-limited. Buy VIP as soon as you have 499 Robux available. The order doesn't matter much for value, but codes expire while VIP doesn't.
Do codes give better rewards if I have VIP? No. Code rewards are flat amounts (e.g., 1,000 coins). VIP doesn't boost code rewards. VIP boosts gameplay-earned coins, not grant-based ones.
Can I use code rewards to buy gamepasses? No. Coins earned from codes cannot be converted to Robux. Robux must be purchased or earned via Premium stipend.
How do I report a missing code reward? File a ticket with Roblox Support. Include the code, the redemption timestamp, and your Roblox username. Roblox typically restores missing rewards within 5-7 business days.

Comparing Codes vs Gamepasses Value
Players often ask whether codes or gamepasses give better value. The answer depends on whether you measure by Robux spent or by playtime invested.
| Metric | Codes | Gamepasses |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | 99-499 Robux |
| Frequency | Every 2-4 weeks | One-time or monthly |
| Reward type | Coins, gems, crates | Permanent multipliers, daily rewards |
| Best for | Free players, casual time | Active players, longtime grinders |
Codes are better for free players because they cost nothing. Gamepasses are better for spending players because the multipliers compound over months.
A free player who diligently redeems every code accumulates ~15,000 coins + 100 gems + 6 free crates per month. A VIP Pass holder who redeems the same codes accumulates ~30,000 coins + 200 gems + 6 free crates in the same period (VIP doubles the coins and gems but not crate count). The VIP player comes out ahead by ~15,000 coins per month — about the cost of one Tier 2 evolution.
Code Strategy for Free Players
For players who will never spend Robux on gamepasses, code redemption is the primary progression accelerator. The disciplined approach:
- Check the Roblox Community Group every Friday. New codes typically drop Friday morning.
- Redeem immediately. Codes expire within 7-14 days. Don't sit on unclaimed codes.
- Track your codes in a spreadsheet. Note the code, the date you redeemed it, and the rewards received. This helps when you suspect a code was missed.
- Stack code boosts with farming sessions. If a code grants a 30-minute 2x coin boost, enter farming immediately after redeeming. The boost compounds with gameplay earnings.
- Don't buy Robux for codes. Code rewards are bounded. Spending Robux to game the code system is not worth it.
The free player who follows this protocol reaches Apex-tier progression in 4-6 months. Slow, but achievable.
Gamepass Strategy for Spenders
For players willing to spend Robux, the gamepass path is more efficient than the code path. The optimal spending order:
- VIP Pass (499 Robux) — bundle of 2x multipliers + daily gems.
- Private Server (100 Robux/month) — biome persistence and squad control.
- Coins Pack L (249 Robux) — for emergency evolution coin needs.
- Weapon Crate Bundle (199 Robux) — only during events.
- Cosmetic passes — only after all progression passes are owned.
Total progression spend: ~900 Robux upfront + 100 Robux/month. Modest budget for a player who plays 1+ hours daily.
Code Trivia
Some popular codes from the past include FISHGIG, DINO, HUNT, and various seasonal codes (HALLOWEEN for Halloween, SNOWY for winter). These are no longer active but illustrate the naming pattern. New codes follow similar conventions.
Players sometimes confuse expired codes with active ones. The Roblox Community Group wall always lists current codes. If a code is not on the wall, it is expired.
Gamepass Compatibility Across Roblox Games
Gamepasses purchased in Dino Hunters work ONLY in Dino Hunters. They do not carry over to other Roblox games. If you play multiple Roblox games, each game's gamepass is separate.
The exception is Roblox Premium, which works across all Roblox games. Premium gives you a monthly Robux stipend that can fund gamepasses in any Roblox game.
Code and Gamepass Refund Edge Cases
In rare cases, Roblox refunds a gamepass if:
- The game is removed from Roblox within 30 days of purchase.
- The gamepass was misrepresented (rare; requires Roblox investigation).
- The Roblox account that purchased it is deleted within 24 hours.
Standard gameplay dissatisfaction is not a valid refund reason. Verify you want the gamepass before purchasing.
Working Codes Best Practices
To make the most of working codes:
- Redeem during peak hours. Server load can affect redemption success.
- Don't share codes publicly. Codes are single-use per account; sharing doesn't help.
- Report expired codes. If a code from the Community Group doesn't redeem, leave a comment so Fishgig Game can update the post.
Code Reward Stacking
Code rewards stack with each other but not with themselves. Redeeming two 2x coin boost codes gives the same effect as one (no double boost). But a 2x coin boost + a free crate code = bonus coins AND a crate from a single login.
Gamepass Tier List for Active Players
For a player with 1,000 Robux to spend, the optimal tier list:
| Priority | Gamepass | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIP Pass | Best long-term ROI |
| 2 | Private Server (1 month) | Biome persistence for Apex farming |
| 3 | 2x Coins Gamepass | Redundant if VIP owned |
| 4 | Coins Pack L | Emergency evolution funding |
| 5 | Weapon Crate Bundle | Event-only |
Spend Robux in this priority order. Lower priority items can wait until next month's Robux budget.
Code Reward Drop Rate Analysis
Within free Weapon Crates obtained from codes, the drop rates by rarity are:
| Item Rarity | Drop Rate | Approximate Value |
|---|---|---|
| Common weapon upgrade | 50% | 50 coins |
| Uncommon weapon upgrade | 30% | 100 coins |
| Rare weapon upgrade | 15% | 200 coins |
| Legendary weapon upgrade | 4% | 500 coins |
| Apex weapon upgrade | 1% | 1,000 coins |
The expected value of one free crate is ~120 coins. Code redemption typically grants 1-3 free crates, giving an expected value of 120-360 coins per code. Multiplied by monthly codes, free players gain 1,500-4,000 coins in expected crate value annually.
Gamepass Perks Comparison Summary
A quick comparison of every gamepass's progression impact:
| Gamepass | Coin Boost | XP Boost | Gems | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIP Pass | 2x | 2x | Daily 25-50 | Cosmetics |
| 2x Coins | 2x | None | None | None |
| Coins Pack S | One-time 5,000 | None | None | None |
| Coins Pack L | One-time 15,000 | None | None | None |
| Gems Pack | None | None | One-time 200 | None |
| Weapon Crate Bundle | None | None | None | 10 crates |
For active players, VIP Pass dominates. For specific use cases (emergency coins, gem needs), the smaller packs serve their purpose.
Code and Gamepass Player Workflows
Three common player personas and how they handle codes/gamepasses:
Free player. Redeems every code, never buys gamepasses. Reaches Apex in 4-6 months. Plays patiently.
Moderate spender. Buys VIP Pass early, redeems every code. Reaches Apex in 2-3 months. Plays consistently.
Heavy spender. Buys VIP + Private Server monthly, redeems codes, occasionally buys coin packs. Reaches Apex in 1-2 months. Plays daily.
Pick the persona that matches your budget and time commitment. There is no wrong answer — all three reach the same end state.
Code Source Verification
Some websites claim to have "exclusive" or "secret" Dino Hunters codes. These are scams. The only legitimate source for codes is the Roblox Community Group (ID 999381953). Any other source is either:
- Outdated (codes from previous events that no longer work).
- Fake (codes that never existed).
- Malicious (links to phishing sites).
Verify codes through the Community Group before redeeming. If the code is not on the wall, do not redeem.
