AFK Grinding Guide: Overnight Farming Strategies

One of the most powerful features in Break A Friend is the ability to earn cash while AFK (Away From Keyboard). This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about passive grinding, based on insights from the community and developer confirmations.

How AFK Mode Works

Break A Friend has a built-in AFK button that automates your throws. When activated:

• Your ragdoll automatically throws repeatedly


• Cash accumulates based on your multipliers


• The system runs continuously while you're away

Setting Up AFK Mode

Click the large "AFK" button in the game interface

Ensure your internet connection is stable

Keep Roblox running (minimize if needed)

Overnight Farming Strategy

Before You Sleep

Upgrade everything possible - Maximize your earning potential

Equip your best material - Higher multiplier = more AFK cash

Use your best ragdoll - Triplets or Water recommended

Set up in Snow Peaks - 2x zone multiplier

Dealing with Disconnects

The game may occasionally kick you. Community solutions:

Auto-Clicker Method:

• Set an auto-clicker with 20-30 minute intervals


• Click anywhere to prevent idle timeout


• Use tools like TinyTask (PC) or built-in accessibility features

Pro Tip from Discord: "Just in case, set an auto-clicker. Sometimes it kicks you." - Community member azmat79tina

Cash Display Bug

Important: Once you pass 10 Quintillion (Qn), your money may stop displaying correctly. Solution:

• Leave and rejoin the game


• Your cash will appear after rejoining


• Repeat as needed during long sessions

Spin Refresh Timer

As of the latest update, the Lucky Spin refresh timer is now 20 minutes (reduced from 30 minutes). This was confirmed by developer Sinne in Discord.

Maximizing Spins During AFK

• Free spins refresh while you're AFK


• Log in periodically to use accumulated spins


• Best times: morning after overnight AFK

Common AFK Issues & Fixes

Problem: Throwing Backwards

Some players report the ragdoll throwing in the wrong direction during AFK.

Fixes:

• Restart AFK mode


• Reposition before starting


• Report to devs if persistent (Update 3.1 addressed this)

Problem: Getting Stuck on Obstacles

Long ragdolls (like Tower or extended bodies) can get stuck on obstacles.

Fixes:

• Use more compact ragdoll types


• Avoid obstacle-heavy zones for AFK


• Consider using abilities (with auto-clicker)

Problem: Flying Off Map

A glitch where the ragdoll launches off the map entirely.

Community Insight: "Sometimes when it throws back it goes off the map and you literally go flying when you jump" - Discord community

Fix: Rejoin the game when this happens.

AFK Earning Calculations

Based on community testing, here's what you can expect:

With Basic Setup (Rebirth 3, Level 100 Stats)

• ~9-12 Billion per throw


• ~12 throws per hour (5 min each)


• ~100-150 Billion per 8-hour session

With Optimized Setup (Rebirth 4, Level 500 Stats, Ultraviolet)

• ~1-8 Trillion per throw


• Continuous AFK mode


• ~10+ Quintillion per overnight session

Multiplier Stacking

Your AFK earnings multiply with:

• Material multiplier (up to 25x Ultraviolet, or 75x Secret)


• Rebirth bonus (up to 100% at Rebirth 4)


• Zone multiplier (2x in Snow Peaks)


• Ragdoll type bonus


• Gold/Diamond boost events (18-45x during throw)

Best Ragdolls for AFK

Recommended

Water (2T cost) - New best option, compact body

Triplets (25M) - Three bodies = 3x bone breaks

Duck (5M) - Bouncy, good AFK performance

Avoid for AFK

• Tower - Too long, gets stuck


• Extended custom bodies - Glitch on obstacles


• Spider - Can catch on terrain
