Frequently Asked Questions

The leaderboard in Break A Friend is based on your per-throw earnings, not your total cash accumulated. This means your single highest-earning throw determines your leaderboard position.

To climb the leaderboard:
- Stack all multipliers (materials, zones, rebirths, ragdoll types)
- Perfect your throw technique
- Use slaps to maximize bone breaks
- Chain explosive combos

Note: The leaderboard was reset with Update 3, and some top positions may have been achieved through exploits. The developers are working on anti-cheat measures.

Leaderboard Climbing (Dec 2025):
Community members report: *"Every time I level up I get higher on the leaderboard"*

This suggests that upgrading stats can help you climb the rankings by increasing your maximum throw potential, not just your current throw.

The "Slam Bug" is a known glitch where using the Slam power can cause your ragdoll to be flung out of the map or into a "glitch zone".

Community Reports:
- Players report being flung to a glitch zone when using Slam
- Some claim it can be done in a specific place for massive earnings
- Others report it doesn't register properly on the leaderboard
- Warning: Abusing glitches can lead to account bans or progress resets. Use at your own risk!

Developer Status: The developer is aware of the issue and players have been reporting it in the feedback channel.

The Red Warrior skin is a rare drop from the material spin. Community members have reported getting it within their first few rolls, but it depends on luck!

Stats:
- Rarity: Legendary/Mythic tier
- Multiplier: High earning bonus

Keep spinning every 20 minutes to try your luck!

Rebirth costs increase with each level:

Rebirth	Cost
Rebirth 1	25 Million
Rebirth 2	100 Million
Rebirth 3	500 Million
Rebirth 4	7.5 Billion

Each rebirth grants permanent earning bonuses (10%, 25%, 50%, 100% respectively). You keep your materials and Robux-purchased items, but lose your cash and free upgrades.

Tip: Rebirth as soon as you hit the required amount for the first few levels - the bonuses compound quickly!

Currently, there are NO active codes for Break A Friend. The game does not have a code redemption system implemented yet.

If codes are added in the future, they would likely reward:
- Free cash
- Bone multiplier boosts
- Exclusive skins or materials
- Temporary power-ups

We'll update this page if codes become available. In the meantime, join the official Discord for the latest announcements!

There are two top-tier materials in Break A Friend:

Confirmed Best:
1. Secret 75x Material - 75x multiplier (ULTRA RARE - developer confirmed existence)
2. Ultraviolet - 25x multiplier (Mythic tier)

Material tier list:
1. Secret 75x - 75x (Developer confirmed, extremely rare)
2. Ultraviolet - 25x (Mythic)
3. Void - 22x (Mythic)
4. Crystal - 20x (Mythic)
5. Lava - 15x (Legendary)
6. Rainbow - 12x (Legendary)

Note: The 75x material was confirmed by developer Sinne in Discord (Nov 28, 2025). It has NO pity system and is extremely rare. Players have spent 100+ Quintillion without getting it.

To get rare materials, use the Lucky Spin (refreshes every 20 minutes as of the latest update).

Break A Friend features a powerful AFK grinding system! Here's how it works:

AFK Mode:
- Click the large "AFK" button in-game to start auto-throwing
- Your ragdoll automatically throws repeatedly
- Cash accumulates based on all your multipliers

Tips for Overnight AFK (from Discord community):
- Set up an auto-clicker as backup (20-30 min intervals)
- Use Water or Triplets ragdoll (best for AFK)
- Equip your best material before sleeping
- Play in Snow Peaks for 2x zone bonus

Advanced AFK Strategy (Dec 2025):
> *"I turn on afk and keep resetting whenever it throws the body 10 times till it gives me gold run"* - abmpassi

This method involves:
1. Enable AFK mode
2. Watch the first 10 throws
3. If you don't get a gold run, reset and restart
4. Repeat until gold run activates
5. Let it run overnight with gold bonus active

Cash Display Bug: Once you pass 10 Quintillion (Qn), money may stop showing. Leave and rejoin to see your balance.

Community Quote: *"The big button that says AFK - that just runs all night. Sometimes it kicks you so set an auto-clicker just in case."*

Note: Update 3.1 improved AFK reliability. The game now auto-rejoins before Roblox kicks you.

Yes! More expensive ragdolls have higher earning multipliers:

Ragdoll	Approx. Cost	Multiplier
Basic	Free	1x
Sloth	50K	~1.5x
Spider	500K	~2x
Worm	1M	~2.5x
Duck	5M	~3x
Triplets	25M	~5x
Water	2T	Best F2P
Celebrity	Robux	3x+ bonus

NEW in Update 3: The Water ragdoll (2T cost) is now the best non-Robux option! Top players confirm it gives the highest earnings.

Best value by stage:
- Early game: Save for Triplets (25M)
- Late game: Work toward Water (2T)
- P2W: Celebrity ragdolls stack bonuses

Pro tip from Discord: *"Water makes me the most money"* - Top player azmat79tina

Zones are unlocked by spending cash:

Zone	Cost	Multiplier
Grassy Cliffs	Free	1x
Snow Peaks	7.5 Million	2x
Volcano	50 Million	1.5x

Tip: Despite costing less, Snow Peaks has a higher multiplier than Volcano! Unlock Snow Peaks first if you can handle the icy physics.

Each zone has unique obstacles and challenges:
- Grassy Cliffs: Basic obstacles, beginner-friendly
- Snow Peaks: Ice physics, avalanches, 2x earnings
- Volcano: Lava pools, explosions, 1.5x earnings

Break A Friend was created by Sinne, a solo developer under Fat Rat: The Singularity studio.

Key facts:
- Sinne is the primary/solo developer
- Small support team of ~4 people
- Active in the Discord community
- Updates the game every few days
- Responsive to player feedback

Fat Rat Games is a Roblox studio focused on supporting and investing in Roblox creators. Break A Friend quickly rose to over 10,000 concurrent users after launch!

Break A Friend uses standard number abbreviations for large amounts:

Abbreviation	Full Name	Value
K	Thousand	1,000
M	Million	1,000,000
B	Billion	1,000,000,000
T	Trillion	1,000,000,000,000
Qd	Quadrillion	1,000,000,000,000,000
Qn	Quintillion	1,000,000,000,000,000,000

Top players with max multipliers can earn in the Quadrillions (Qd) and Quintillions (Qn) per throw!

Yes! As of Update 3.1, there is a strength cap to prevent over-powered throws from glitching.

Before the cap, extremely high strength could cause:
- Ragdolls flying off the map
- Physics engine breaking
- Negative earnings glitches

The cap ensures balanced gameplay while still allowing for powerful throws. Focus on upgrading other stats like limbs and ragdoll level alongside strength for optimal builds.

Yes, slaps are limited per throw! You can use up to 5 slaps during each throw to redirect your ragdoll.

Slap tips:
- Save slaps for crucial redirects
- Slap towards obstacles, not away
- Chain slaps for combo multipliers
- Wait for ragdoll to slow before slapping

Slaps are a skill-based mechanic that separates good players from great players. Practice your slap timing in Grassy Cliffs!

Break A Friend is available on ALL platforms that support Roblox:

✅ PC (Windows, Mac)
✅ Mobile (iOS, Android)
✅ Console (Xbox)
✅ VR (with Roblox VR support)

The game also supports:
- Voice Chat
- Camera features

According to top players in Discord, High-G is the best power for grinding money.

Why High-G?
> *"For powers do High-G because it makes you get double money from drops"* - Community tip

Power Rankings for Money:
1. High-G - Doubles cash from drops (Best for grinding)
2. Infinite Powers (Robux) - Unlimited ability use
3. Nuke - High damage, good for leaderboard throws

F2P Note: Currently, most powers require Robux. Developer Sinne confirmed a Lucky Wheel is coming that will give F2P players a way to earn abilities.

YES! Zone unlocks persist through rebirths.

This is a critical strategy tip from the community:

> *"Buy area then rebirth next time. You keep the area."* - Discord player melikedonut2

Pro Strategy:
1. Before your first rebirth, unlock Snow Peaks (7.5M)
2. This gives you 2x zone multiplier immediately after rebirth
3. You'll progress MUCH faster post-rebirth

What you KEEP after rebirth:
✅ Zone unlocks
✅ Materials/Skins
✅ Robux purchases
✅ Rebirth bonuses

What you LOSE:
❌ Cash
❌ Free ragdoll upgrades
❌ Stat levels

Based on community testing and top player advice, here's the optimal upgrade priority:

Upgrade Order:
1. Legs - Best ROI (ragdolls land legs-first most often)
2. Arms - Second most common impact point
3. Ribs - Body collision zones
4. Skull - Upgrade last

Community Quote:
> *"Do legs because most of the time you land on them anyways"* - Discord advice

Stat Targets:

Stage	Target	Earnings
Early	100 all	~10B/throw
Mid	200 all	~100B/throw
Late	300+ all	~1T+/throw
Endgame	500 all	~10T+/throw

Pro Tip: Focus on reaching Rebirth 4 before heavy upgrade investment. The 100% bonus is game-changing!

Level Soft Cap Warning (Dec 2025):
Top players report there's a soft cap on earnings from stat upgrades. After reaching certain levels (around 500+), earning increases become minimal:
> *"I ain't making 3qi I liled I only make 300t like I was 100 level ago so ye no there is a limit"* - azmat79tina

This means upgrading beyond ~500 in each stat may not significantly increase earnings. Focus on materials and multipliers instead!

Unlimited Power is a premium ability that removes the slap limit during throws!

Normal Gameplay:
- You have limited slaps per throw (typically 5)
- Must use them strategically

With Unlimited Power:
- Slap your ragdoll as many times as you want
- Keep redirecting into obstacles endlessly
- Maximize bone breaks per throw

How to Get:
- Purchase with Robux (premium item)
- Occasionally available in events

Pro Tip: With Unlimited Power, you can literally slap your friend across the entire map! Just be careful not to slap them OFF the map (see: off-map penalty).

Streamer Quote: *"Guys, if you get the unlimited power, you could just slap him around!"* - Popular streamer demonstrating the feature

Going off the map ends your throw immediately and you lose potential earnings!

What Happens:
- Your throw ends instantly
- No more bones can break
- You only keep earnings up to that point
- The ragdoll resets

Common Causes:
- Slapping too hard with Unlimited Power
- Throwing at wrong angles
- Explosive chain reactions launching ragdoll too far

How to Avoid:
- Watch your throw trajectory
- Don't spam slaps towards map edges
- Be careful with Nuke explosions near boundaries

Streamer Warning: *"Don't let him go off the map! If he goes off the map, it is over."*

Some players have reported glitching themselves off the map while slapping too enthusiastically - you may need to rejoin the game if this happens!

This is a rare visual bug that can occur when you have extremely large amounts of cash (Quintillions or higher).

Symptoms:
- Money displays as negative numbers
- Game shows you "lost" money when you actually gained it
- Numbers overflow into negative values

Reported Cases (Dec 2025):
Players with 100+ Quintillion have experienced this bug. One player reported:
> *"I am so rich the game says I have -"* - azmat79tina

Fix:
1. Leave and rejoin the game
2. Your actual balance is safe - it's just a display issue
3. Contact developer if issue persists

Technical Reason: The game may be hitting integer overflow limits with extremely large numbers. The developers are aware and working on better number handling for ultra-high balances.

Some ragdoll types have been reported to clip through the floor and fall off the map, particularly longer body types.

Affected Ragdolls (Dec 2025 reports):
- Haunted - Most commonly reported
- Tower - Falls through frequently
- Long/Extended custom bodies

Player Experience:
> *"Some ragdolls clip through the floor. Like haunted I prefer using giraffe rather than haunted because I just fall through the floor and off the map"* - caldodebirria

Workarounds:
1. Use more compact ragdoll types (Water, Triplets, Duck)
2. Avoid Haunted/Tower if experiencing this bug
3. Report the specific ragdoll and location to developers in feedback channel

Status: Developer is aware of clipping issues and investigating collision detection improvements.

Error 267 typically means you've been blocked from the game, but some players report getting this error on their first time trying to play.

Common Causes:
1. Regional Restrictions - Game may be unavailable in certain regions
2. Server Issues - Temporary connection problems
3. Age Restrictions - Account age may not meet requirements
4. False Positive - Anti-cheat mistakenly flagging new players

Reported Case (Dec 2025):
> *"Error 267: Blocked for Creator or banned, but its Firts Time and i dont know to the Creator"* - tedthemaster

Solutions:
1. Try joining a different server
2. Check if game is down for maintenance (happens during updates)
3. Verify your Roblox account age and settings
4. Contact developer in Discord if you believe it's an error
5. Wait 24 hours and try again

Note: Around December 19, 2025, some players experienced temporary connection issues during update preparations. This may have caused false Error 267s.

The Bouncy material is popular in the community for its fun physics, but it has a known issue with getting stuck on obstacles.

Pros:
- Fun bouncing physics
- Can chain multiple bounces for extended throws
- Good for entertainment value

Cons:
- Can get stuck on obstacles mid-throw
- May end run prematurely when stuck

Community Feedback (Dec 2025):
> *"I love bouncy (unless it stucked💔)"* - bailanxiaobing

Tips for Using Bouncy:
1. Use in zones with fewer obstacles (Grassy Cliffs)
2. Avoid tight spaces where it can wedge
3. Best for fun, not optimal grinding
4. Consider Water or Ultraviolet for serious grinding

Status: Developer is aware of materials getting stuck and working on physics improvements.

The Nuke is one of the most powerful abilities in Break A Friend!

What It Does:
- Creates a massive explosion
- Breaks multiple bones at once
- Launches your ragdoll for extended air time
- Can chain with other explosives

How to Use:
- Equip from your abilities menu
- Activate during a throw
- Time it when ragdoll is near obstacles for maximum effect

Strategy Tips:
1. Throw first, then nuke - Let ragdoll build up speed
2. Chain explosions - Nuke near explosive barrels for combos
3. Don't nuke near edges - Risk of going off-map

Earnings Potential:
With good timing, a single nuked throw can earn 37-50+ million cash!

Streamer Quote: *"I might get 50 MILLION, GUYS, off of just exploding Ian. Is that crazy?"*

Many players have expressed concern that rebirth costs are very challenging without Robux purchases, especially for higher rebirths.

Community Feedback (Dec 2025):
> *"can u make lower prices for rebirth I thing its impossible if u dont use Robux"* - Player feedback

Current Costs:
- Rebirth 1: 25M (achievable F2P)
- Rebirth 2: 100M (grindy but possible)
- Rebirth 3: 500M (very challenging)
- Rebirth 4+: Multi-billion (requires optimization)

F2P Progression Tips:
1. Use AFK grinding overnight with Water ragdoll
2. Unlock Snow Peaks (2x multiplier) before first rebirth
3. Focus on getting good materials from Lucky Spins
4. Save up for Water ragdoll (2T) for best F2P multiplier
5. Use all 5 slaps strategically for maximum bone breaks

Developer Response:
The game is designed to be challenging but achievable for F2P players. Upcoming Lucky Wheel feature will provide more F2P earning options. Balance adjustments may come based on community feedback.

Patience Required: Top F2P players report it takes several days of dedicated grinding to reach higher rebirths, but it IS possible without spending Robux.

There is a known bug where the leaderboard displays incorrect earnings, particularly for very high throws.

Reported Issue (Dec 2025):
> *"keep it a buck idk whats going on but i keep getting 600T or more in a run trying to be on the leaderboard and it keeps giving me 551t everytime even if i get more makes no sense"* - mercury8998

Bug Details:
- Players earning 600T+ report leaderboard showing 551T
- May be related to a display cap or rounding error
- Affects high-earning throws (Trillion+ range)
- Your actual cash is correct, but leaderboard position may be wrong

Workarounds:
1. Try leaving and rejoining to refresh leaderboard
2. Take screenshots of your actual throw earnings
3. Report specific numbers to developers in Discord
4. The bug may self-correct after server updates

Status: Developer is aware of leaderboard calculation issues and investigating. This is separate from the display bug for 10Qn+ cash amounts.

Note: The leaderboard updates every minute, but this bug can persist across multiple sessions.

A bug has been reported in the new zone area where players get stuck in an infinite forward loop.

Community Report (Dec 2025):
> *"is the end of the new area supposed to keep u going forever cus ive been here for 10 mins and i aint stopped"* - .nasa.gg

Bug Symptoms:
- Ragdoll reaches end of new zone
- Instead of stopping, keeps moving forward indefinitely
- Can last 10+ minutes with no end
- Forces player to reset or rejoin

Temporary Solutions:
1. Reset your character if stuck in loop
2. Avoid throwing too far into the new zone
3. Use lighter materials that won't reach the problematic area
4. Rejoin the game to reset your position

Map Timer Alternative:
Some players also report the map timer is annoying as it forces zone rotation. If you prefer specific maps:
- Try to time your throws before rotation
- Request permanent map selection in feedback channel

Status: This appears to be an edge case collision/boundary issue in the latest zone update. Developer has been notified via community feedback.

Multiple players have reported that Diamond material and Celebrity ragdolls frequently get stuck on obstacles during throws.

Affected Items (Dec 2025):
> *"why is it only the diamonds and celeb that gets stuck for me"* - xeiroforever

Diamond Material:
- High-tier material with good multiplier
- Tends to clip or wedge into obstacles
- May have collision detection issues
- More common in tight spaces

Celebrity Ragdoll:
- Premium Robux ragdoll
- Similar clipping issues to Diamond
- May be related to model complexity

Workarounds:
1. Use alternative materials like Ultraviolet or Void
2. Switch to Water or Triplets ragdoll for stable grinding
3. Avoid throwing directly at tight obstacle clusters
4. Play in Grassy Cliffs for more open spaces

Other Stuck Issues:
This is similar to the "Bouncy material getting stuck" and "Haunted ragdoll clipping" issues. The game's physics engine may struggle with certain combinations of materials and ragdoll types.

Status: Developer is aware of various clipping and stuck issues. Physics improvements are being worked on.

Some players prefer the original static maps over the newer randomized map system.

Community Feedback (Dec 2025):
> *"Is it just me that prefers the old map to the randomised ones"* - electronic_van_cranberry

Old Map System:
- Fixed obstacle layouts
- Predictable patterns
- Could memorize optimal throw angles
- Consistent strategies

Randomized Map System (Current):
- Obstacles change positions
- Map rotates on a timer
- More variety and replayability
- Harder to optimize throws
- Some players find the timer annoying

Map Timer Issue:
> *"Sinne the timer on the map is kinda pissing me off"* - wwwirow

The forced rotation every few minutes disrupts grinding sessions.

Feature Request:
Players have requested:
1. Map selection option - Choose which layout to play
2. Disable rotation timer - Stay on one map indefinitely
3. Classic mode - Return to original static maps
4. More map variety - Additional obstacle layouts

Developer Response:
The community has suggested adding more maps and obstacles as future content. Custom obstacle courses are already on the developer's roadmap for future updates.

Suggestion: Voice your preference in the Discord feedback channel! If enough players prefer static maps, the developer may add a toggle option.

Giveaway prizes may take time to be distributed, especially for a solo developer managing a popular game.

Community Experience (Dec 2025):
> *"running up on 2 weeks since I have won gw no prize yet"* - s75m

Why Delays Happen:
- Solo developer managing thousands of players
- Manual distribution process
- Holiday season/update development
- Need to verify winners
- May require Roblox API integration

What To Do:
1. Be patient - Solo dev is working on game updates
2. Contact in Discord - DM the developer or post in support channel
3. Provide proof - Screenshot of your winning announcement
4. Check announcements - Batch distributions may be announced

Typical Timeline:
- Small prizes: 1-7 days
- Large prizes: 1-3 weeks
- Special items: May require game update to grant

Note: The developer Sinne is actively working on major updates (Pets, new zones) which may delay prize distribution. Your prize is not forgotten - just delayed during busy development periods.

Pro Tip: Keep participating in the community and slapping friends while you wait! *"I think i'll just keep infinitely slapping my friends"* - s75m
