Most new Dino Hunters players (Roblox Game ID 119031147890918) lose their first Robux and their first Apex contracts to the same handful of avoidable mistakes. This guide catalogs the twelve most frequent errors reported on the official Fishgig Game Discord and shows the fix for each one.
1. Buying Gamepasses Before Playing the Tutorial
The Roblox client lets you buy a Gamepass before finishing the tutorial. New hunters sometimes splash 399 Robux on VIP without knowing the basic movement controls. Always complete the tutorial first, then decide which Gamepass fits your playstyle — the Robux and Gamepasses Guide explains the math.
2. Ignoring Daily Login Rewards
The day 30 daily login payout includes a 50 Robux voucher. Missing the day 30 milestone wastes the largest free reward in the game. Read the Daily Login Rewards guide and set a phone alarm if you struggle with streaks.
3. Skipping Active Codes
Fishgig Game publishes Codes every two weeks. The free Coins, XP boosts, and crates stack with your Gamepass multipliers, so never log in without checking the Active Codes list first.
4. Firing the Capture Tool at Full HP
The capture tool only works when the dinosaur is in the wounded state. Hitting zero HP without capturing gives Coins but no dinosaur, so the capture tool timing matters more than raw damage. The First Dino Capture guide has the exact wounded-state thresholds for each rarity.
5. Using the Sniper in the Forest Biome
The Sniper Rifle is the worst starter weapon in close-quarters Forest contracts. Bring the Shotgun or AR for Forest fights and reserve the Sniper for the open Snow Mountain biome, where long sightlines favor it.
6. Strafing Backward Instead of Sideways
Backward movement is slower than lateral movement in Roblox. Strafing backward lets dinosaurs close distance faster than you can retreat. Sideways strafing — taught in the Movement and Combat guide — keeps you inside the safe arc.
7. Hosting Public Servers Without Permissions
Without configuring the Friends Only or Group Only toggles in your private server, any player with the URL can join and grief contracts. Review the Private Server Setup walkthrough before sharing invites.
8. Forgetting to Redeem Codes on the Right Account
Roblox Gamepasses and Code rewards are tied to the account that redeemed them. If you accidentally signed in as a guest, your Codes and purchases vanish. Sign into your primary Roblox account before any premium interaction — see the Account and Robux Setup guide.
9. Wasting Robux on Crates Before Unlocking All Weapons
The Weapon Crate Bundle drops random weapons, but if you have not yet learned how each weapon handles, a random drop teaches you nothing. Play at least ten contracts per weapon class first, then buy the bundle to fill remaining gaps.
10. Ignoring Biome Lore
The six biomes (Forest, Desert, Jungle, Snow Mountain, Volcano, Swamp) have different dinosaur spawn profiles. Going to the Volcano biome as a beginner means facing T-Rex with no armor. Always progress in biome difficulty order.
11. Disabling Cross-Play
Some players disable cross-play to avoid lag, but Roblox cross-play also unlocks the Cross-Play Hero Badge. The Cross-Play Setup guide explains why keeping it enabled is worth the trade-off.
12. Skipping the Parental Controls
If a younger hunter is sharing the Roblox account, skipping the parental controls exposes them to random voice chat from strangers. The Parental Controls and Safety guide covers chat restrictions and spending limits in five minutes of setup.
