How to Get Free Coins in Tanks A Lot!

Tanks A Lot! is a 3v3 multiplayer tank shooter from BoomBit, where you build your own tank by combining cannons, hulls, commanders and special abilities. To progress you need Coins, the game's free currency earned by playing and used to upgrade parts, buy cards and open chests. Facing it is the premium currency (Gems), bought with real money and only very occasionally appearing free in the store. In this guide, using real data pulled from the community and the game's official wiki, we explain the legitimate methods for building up Coins without spending a euro: from winning matches and opening the free chests that rotate through the store, to making the most of the clan chest, season rewards and special tournaments. We also tell you what to really expect from Gems and why you should distrust any website promising to generate them for free without limits.

What's the fastest way to get Coins in Tanks A Lot!?

We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Coins, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.

Variable by mode and outcome Daily

Win matches (Deathmatch, Skirmish, Battle Royale, Tank-O-Ball)

Every match played, and especially every win, grants experience, Coins and a chest with cards to upgrade your gear. It's the base and steadiest source of Coins in the game: the more matches you complete per day, the more Coins you build up directly. There's no fixed figure published by the studio, but the community agrees that wins clearly pay off more than losses, so focusing on winning (rather than just completing matches) is the most efficient way to make the most of your play time.

Up to 2 chests of each type stacked Daily

Free chests: Headhunter and Champion's Chest

The game gives you chests just for playing: the Headhunter Chest unlocks every 24 hours and the Champion's Chest every 7 days, and you can stack up to two of each type before new ones stop generating. Both include Coins and cards, and the amount increases the higher your current league is. The key is opening them as soon as they're available and not letting the counter cap out, so you don't miss out on new chests generating while both slots are full.

Chest contents scale with league Variable

Climb league and trophies

The Coins and card rarity contained in chests (Headhunter, Champion's, and season ones) increase as you climb league through trophies. Playing consistently to climb the rankings not only gives you better rewards per win, it also multiplies the value of every free chest you were already getting. It's an indirect but very rewarding path over the medium term: the same number of chests opened in a high league produces considerably more Coins than in the starting leagues.

1 big chest roughly every 30 days Each patch

Season Chest (Season Rewards)

Each season lasts around 30 days. When it ends, you receive a season chest matching your current league before trophies partially reset for the next season. The higher the league you finish the season in, the bigger the reward in Coins and cards. Making the most of the final days of a season to climb league as high as possible before the reset is a common strategy among active players.

~3,000 to 12,000 chest points depending on donors' league Each patch

Clan Chest

If you're in a clan, a Clan Chest is handed out every two weeks based on the points accumulated from member donations. Coins donate points at a 1:1 ratio and Gems at 1:20, and opening Headhunter and Champion's chests also automatically contributes points (up to a maximum of 3,000 and 12,000 points respectively, depending on the league of whoever opens them). To claim your share you need to have donated at least 0.25% of the total (0.5% if you joined within the last 48 hours before the timer ends), so actively participating in the clan is essential to not miss out on the payout.

Variable, one-off rewards Variable

Tournaments and special events

BoomBit runs temporary tournaments with their own rules and extra rewards in Coins and cards for players who complete certain objectives or finish well-placed. They're not permanent or predictable on a schedule, but while active they usually offer a noticeably better Coin boost than the usual pace of regular matches. Checking the game's events menu regularly keeps you from missing any of these limited tournaments.

1 small Coin box every few hours Daily

Free store offers

Inside the store section, the game periodically (every few hours) offers a small free Coin box you can claim at no cost. It's a minor addition compared to playing matches or opening progress chests, but since it's free and repeats several times a day, it's worth checking every time you open the app. Note this is different from Gems: those are the game's paid currency and only very occasionally does the store give away a small amount, usually tied to specific promotions rather than a recurring real method.

How much free Coins can you get per month?

Source	Estimated amount	Frequency
Match wins (moderate daily use)	Variable	Daily
Headhunter Chest	Variable (by league)	Every 24h
Champion's Chest	Variable (by league)	Every 7 days (~4/month)
Season Chest	Variable (by final league)	Every ~30 days
Free store box	Small, fixed per box	Every few hours
Estimated total	Not precisely quantifiable	—

BoomBit doesn't publish official figures for Coins per win, chest or league, and the community doesn't document exact verified amounts either; the real total depends heavily on your league, your win rate and how many matches you play per day. What is certain is that combining daily matches, always opening free chests on time and taking part in an active clan maximizes your income compared to playing sporadically.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get free Gems in Tanks A Lot!?

Only in very limited, occasional amounts through specific store promotions. Gems are the premium currency meant to be bought with real money, so there's no reliable recurring method to farm them by playing; any plan that promises unlimited free Gems on a steady basis isn't real.

Are the websites and videos offering Coin or Gem generators for Tanks A Lot! reliable?

No. That kind of website (generators, online hacks, mods) doesn't deliver real currency: they usually ask for human verification, surveys or downloads aimed at your data or installing unwanted software, and none of them connect to the game's servers in any way. The only way to get Coins is by playing or buying them officially inside the app.

Is it worth joining a clan just to get more Coins?

Yes, if the clan is active. The Clan Chest distributes content every two weeks based on all members' donations, so a clan with steady donations generates considerably more extra Coins than playing solo. That said, to claim your share you need to donate at least 0.25% of the accumulated total (0.5% if you just joined), so an inactive clan barely provides any benefit.
