How Gems Work in Hill Climb Racing 2
Gems are HCR2's premium secondary currency.
Unlike Coins, they have several flexible uses.
Current game references list uses including:
Exchanging Gems for Coins.
Opening chests faster.
Speeding up Scrap processing.
Refilling certain tickets.
Additional attempts in supported challenges and activities.
Shop purchases.
Gems can also be earned through normal gameplay rather than only being purchased.
Because Gems are harder to replace than Coins, beginners should normally treat them more carefully.
A Coin upgrade can usually be farmed again through normal play.
Wasting hundreds of Gems on a poor purchase is much harder to undo.
Best Ways to Farm Coins in Hill Climb Racing 2
The strongest Coin farming strategy is not one endlessly repeated activity.
Modern HCR2 rewards players for combining Adventure, Cups, Tasks, Events, Teams, Trophy Road, and chests.
Some activities produce direct Coins.
Others provide chests containing Coins.
Others provide parts, Scrap, or progression resources that indirectly reduce how much you need to spend elsewhere.
The best farming methods therefore depend on the strength of your account.
Adventure – One of the Best Sources of Coins
Adventure is one of the most important resource modes in HCR2.
You drive as far as possible while collecting Coins and fuel and trying to survive increasingly difficult terrain.
The longer and more efficiently you drive, the more valuable Adventure becomes.
Collect Coins During the Run
Adventure maps contain Coin lines and Coin bags that can be collected while driving.
For a short run, these amounts may seem small.
Over repeated long-distance runs they add up substantially, particularly if your vehicle can maintain good distances without frequent crashes.
A strong Adventure vehicle therefore functions as more than a record-setting tool.
It becomes part of your resource economy.
Adventure Distance Chests
One of Adventure's biggest farming benefits comes from its distance-based chests.
Current HCR2 reference values list standard Adventure Distance Chests as beginning with 1,000 Coins plus 400 additional Coins for each chest level reached.
That means higher-distance performances directly improve the Coin reward.
The same chests can also contain Gems and Tuning Parts.
This is why improving your Adventure distance has economic value.
You are not only chasing a personal record.
You are improving the potential reward from the run.
Longer Distance Usually Beats Constant Short Runs
A vehicle capable of reliably reaching long distances is usually a better farming investment than one that frequently crashes early.
For Coin farming, consistency matters.
A strong Adventure setup should emphasize:
A slightly slower vehicle that consistently reaches much farther can generate better overall farming results than a faster but unreliable option.
Choose Efficient Adventure Vehicles
The best Adventure farming vehicle is not necessarily the fastest vehicle in the garage.
What matters is how reliably it reaches high chest levels and collects resources.
Useful Adventure choices can include:
The correct option depends on the map and your skill.
For farming, prioritize repeatable distance rather than theoretical world-record potential.
A vehicle that you control well is often more profitable than a supposedly stronger option that repeatedly crashes.
Use Magnet for Easier Adventure Farming
Magnet is particularly useful during resource-focused Adventure runs.
It increases the collection radius for Coins and fuel.
That provides two benefits.
First, you collect more Coins without needing to drive directly through every Coin line.
Second, you are less likely to miss fuel canisters.
Missing one fuel pickup can end a long-distance run and therefore reduce the value of your Adventure Chest.
A setup using Magnet may technically be slower than a maximum-speed build, but it can produce better farming consistency.
Be Careful With Afterburner While Farming Adventure
Afterburner increases power and speed potential, but it also significantly increases fuel consumption during acceleration.
Current Adventure references specifically warn that Afterburner can dramatically increase fuel use.
That creates a major farming tradeoff.
If Afterburner helps you clear difficult terrain and reach farther, it can be worthwhile.
If it causes you to run out of fuel before reaching the next canister, it is actively reducing your resource income.
For ordinary farming runs, consistency is generally more important than maximum speed.
Complete Tasks for Direct Coins and Chests
Tasks are one of the easiest resource sources to overlook.
They reward players for completing different gameplay objectives across modes such as Cups and Adventure.
Current task rewards can include:
Direct Coins.
Chests.
Vehicle-specific chests.
Tuning Parts.
Trophy Road points.
Standard tasks can currently reward around 3,000 Coins, while tasks with vehicle or map requirements can provide 6,000 Coins alongside chest and progression rewards. Additional milestone rewards are also available for completing multiple tasks.
The value comes from stacking objectives.
If you need to race Cups anyway, completing a Cup-related Task means you earn:
Cup progression.
Chest progression.
Trophy Road points.
Task rewards.
That is far more efficient than grinding an activity with no additional objective attached.
Stack Tasks With Normal Gameplay
The best way to use Tasks is not to treat them as an isolated grind.
Look for opportunities where a Task overlaps with something you already want to do.
For example:
If a Task requires Adventure distance with a vehicle you also want to improve, both goals advance at once.
If a Task requires race wins, those races also contribute to Cup progression and Victory rewards.
If a Task involves activating a particular Tuning Part, you may be able to complete it while farming another activity.
This is one of the strongest general HCR2 resource principles:
Try to earn several progression rewards from the same run.
Cups Are a Reliable Resource Source
Cups remain one of the core ways to obtain chests and progression.
Winning races provides rank points, and Cup activities can lead to Victory Chests and other rewards.
Cups also contribute to Trophy Road progression, which provides additional Coins, Gems, parts, and chests.
Cups are particularly valuable because they are useful even when your Adventure vehicles are not yet strong.
New players can therefore build their economy through racing while gradually developing a better Adventure garage.
Use Win Streaks to Improve Cup Rewards
The Win Streak system makes consistent Cup victories more valuable.
Current progression data shows that maintaining longer streaks increases Cup points and improves Victory Chest levels.
At higher streak levels, first-place Cup progression can reach 300 points instead of the base 200, while Victory Chest quality also improves.
The farming lesson is important:
Do not throw away reliable wins just to attempt a risky shortcut.
For pure Time Trial records, risk may be worthwhile.
For resource farming, consistency can be more profitable because it protects your streak and keeps reward quality higher.
Full Frenzy Adds Another Cup Reward Opportunity
Version 1.73.0 added Full Frenzy.
The developer describes Full Frenzy as surprise bonus stages appearing in Cups that are packed with rewards.
Current progression references indicate these stages can contain resources including:
Coins.
Gems.
Vehicle parts.
Other rewards.
Full Frenzy therefore gives players another reason to remain active in Cup progression rather than treating Cups only as a way to increase rank.
When one appears, prioritize collecting the available rewards while still maintaining enough control to complete the stage successfully.
Trophy Road Provides Passive Resource Progression
Trophy Road rewards continued Cup progression.
Rewards can include:
Coins.
Gems.
Tuning Parts.
Chests.
Other progression items.
You advance by accumulating rank points from Cup-related progression and supported activities.
This makes Trophy Road a secondary reward layer.
You are not simply winning Cups.
Those Cup results are simultaneously moving you toward additional resources.
Tasks also provide rank points, allowing resource-efficient players to advance Trophy Road through more than one source.
Chests Are Central to Resource Farming
Chests are one of the most important resource containers in HCR2.
Depending on their type, they can contain:
Coins.
Gems.
Common Tuning Parts.
Rare Tuning Parts.
Epic Tuning Parts.
Legendary Tuning Parts.
Customization rewards.
Other progression items.
Current HCR2 references list chest sources across almost every major activity, including Adventure, Cups, Tasks, Trophy Road, Teams, Public Events, Featured Challenges, Daily Rewards, and other systems.
This means successful resource farming is often really chest farming.
Even when an activity gives limited direct Coins, its chest rewards can make it valuable.
Don't Ignore Free Chests
Free chests provide Coins, Gems, and parts without requiring a major gameplay investment.
Current chest reference values list a base Free Chest reward that includes Coins, at least one Gem, and guaranteed Common and Rare Tuning Parts, with chances for additional rewards.
Individually, one free chest will not fund an expensive Mastery.
Over the lifetime of an account, however, repeatedly ignoring free resources creates a substantial loss.
Collect free rewards when they are available rather than purchasing the same resources later.
Daily Rewards Are Free Progression
HCR2's reward system also provides free claimable resources through Daily Rewards.
Possible rewards currently include:
Coins.
Gems.
Chests.
Scrap.
Tickets.
Other items.
Current reference values list possible Coin rewards ranging from several thousand to significantly larger amounts and Gem rewards among the possible claim pool.
These rewards should be treated as bonus progression.
They require almost no resource investment from you, so their efficiency is extremely high.
Public Events Can Be Excellent for Resources
Public Events use different gameplay objectives and reward Event Points.
Those Event Points can then be used on Event rewards.
Current reward pools can include:
The exact selection can change with the active event.
Version 1.73.0 also expanded Public Events with additional game modes, keeping the system relevant to the current HCR2 progression loop.
Spend Event Points on Progression First
When your goal is garage progression, prioritize rewards that improve your account rather than purely cosmetic options.
Good candidates can include:
Large Coin rewards.
Valuable chests.
Important Tuning Parts.
Adventure Tokens.
Scrap when needed.
The best Event Shop purchase changes depending on what is available.
Evaluate what the reward would cost you to obtain elsewhere.
A large Coin package may be excellent for an account desperate for upgrades.
A strong chest may provide more total value to a player hunting parts.
Teams Provide Another Resource Layer
Teams became substantially more important after the Teams 2.0 update.
Version 1.69.0 added:
Team Shop.
Research Lab.
Team Spirit.
Team Credits.
Research Points.
The update also shifted a larger share of Team Coin and Gem rewards into Team matches and Team Chest progression.
This means joining an active team can improve your overall account economy.
You gain access to resources that solo players cannot obtain in exactly the same way.
Team Events Can Provide Coins and Gems
Team competition rewards can include substantial amounts of Coins and Gems depending on performance and division.
Current Team references also list additional rewards through contribution systems, including:
Coins.
Gems.
Adventure Tokens.
Scrap.
Tuning Parts.
The key is participation.
Joining a strong team and contributing consistently can create a valuable secondary income source without replacing your normal Cups or Adventure progression.
Team Credits and Research Points Have Indirect Value
Not every useful resource needs to convert directly into Coins.
Team Credits can be spent through the Team Shop on progression items.
Research Points contribute to Research Lab perks and rewards.
These systems can provide long-term value by improving the efficiency of other parts of the game.
For example, if a Team progression perk increases chest rewards or improves resource generation, its value compounds across future gameplay.
This is why advanced accounts should not evaluate everything only by its immediate Coin amount.
Adventure Tokens Can Improve Coin Farming
Adventure Tokens are earned primarily through Adventure-related progression and can also appear through other activities.
They are spent through the Adventure Shop.
The Adventure Shop was expanded as a progression feature in version 1.72.0.
Current Adventure Shop options can include utility such as:
Adventure Coin-doubling effects.
Chest-related items.
Temporary vehicle boosts.
Rank-related boosts.
Gem-related Adventure effects.
Other progression benefits.
This creates an important distinction:
Adventure Tokens are not Coins, but spending them intelligently can increase how many Coins or other resources you earn.
Don't Waste Adventure Tokens
Use Adventure Tokens on things that solve a real progression bottleneck.
If you are actively farming Adventure and can reliably collect large amounts of Coins, a Coin-enhancing option may provide excellent value.
If your Cup progression is more important, another option may be stronger.
Avoid spending tokens simply because you have accumulated them.
Like Gems, flexible currencies become more valuable when you wait until you know what your account needs.
Best Ways to Farm Gems in Hill Climb Racing 2
Gem farming works differently from Coin farming.
Coins are available almost everywhere in large quantities.
Gems usually arrive in smaller amounts through:
Because Gem income is spread across many activities, the best strategy is to collect every efficient source rather than grind one mode exclusively.
Adventure Distance Chests Are a Reliable Gem Source
Adventure Distance Chests do not only contain Coins.
Current standard-map chest values begin with one Gem, with additional Gems added as higher chest levels are reached.
The reference currently lists one additional Gem for every four standard chest levels, with a maximum Gem reward from the task chest.
This gives Adventure another major advantage.
Improving your distance can increase:
Coin income.
Gem income.
Part income.
That combination makes Adventure one of the most complete resource modes in HCR2.
Trophy Road Can Supply Gems Naturally
Trophy Road includes Gems among its reward types.
This means normal Cup progression can slowly build your Gem balance without requiring direct Gem farming.
The important strategy is to avoid spending those Gems as quickly as you earn them.
A player who saves Trophy Road Gems will eventually have meaningful premium-currency flexibility.
A player who constantly spends small amounts on convenience may feel permanently Gem-starved.
Chests Can Contain Gems
Many chest types include Gems.
Even basic Free Chests can provide Gems, while more valuable chests can provide larger or more useful overall reward packages.
This makes chest acquisition indirectly part of Gem farming.
Cup wins, Adventure, Tasks, Public Events, Teams, and Trophy Road all matter because they feed into the chest system.
Public Events Can Help Build Your Gem Economy
Public Events may not always offer Gems directly in the exact same way.
Their strength comes from overall reward conversion.
If Event Points allow you to obtain chests or other progression resources, that can preserve Coins and Gems that would otherwise need to be spent elsewhere.
For example, earning a useful chest through an Event means you do not need to consider buying a similar chest with Gems.
Resource farming should therefore consider both:
resources earned
and
resources you no longer need to spend.
Team Progression Can Provide Gems
Teams 2.0 specifically reworked where Team Coin and Gem rewards are distributed.
The official update notes explain that much of those rewards were moved into Team matches and Team Chest progression.
For players in active teams, this provides an additional Gem source alongside Adventure, Trophy Road, and normal chests.
This is another reason not to ignore Team content once it becomes available.
Full Frenzy Can Drop Gems
Full Frenzy is especially valuable because Gems can appear directly among the stage rewards.
The system was added in version 1.73.0 as a bonus reward feature inside Cups.
It is not something you can force to appear whenever you want.
When it does appear, however, collect as much of the stage reward as possible.
What Should You Spend Gems On?
There is no one perfect Gem purchase for every account.
However, there is a clear rule:
Do not spend Gems simply because an option is available.
Premium currency should either:
Save a meaningful amount of time.
Provide strong progression value.
Help obtain a resource that is otherwise difficult to acquire.
Improve an activity with a strong return.
Small convenience purchases can slowly destroy your Gem balance without noticeably improving your garage.
Be Careful Exchanging Gems for Coins
The game allows Gems to be exchanged for Coins.
That does not automatically make it a good idea.
Coins can be earned through almost every major activity.
Gems are harder to replace.
Unless you have a clear reason, converting a flexible premium resource into the game's most common farmable currency can be inefficient.
If you desperately need a final upgrade that unlocks something significant, conversion may make sense.
For ordinary upgrades, farming additional Coins is usually safer.
Be Careful Buying Random Chests With Gems
The Shop allows players to purchase chests using Gems.
However, chest contents are randomized.
The current Store reference specifically notes that direct chest categories are often worse value than more targeted opportunities through other Shop sections.
The main problem is simple:
You may spend a large amount of Gems without receiving the part you actually wanted.
If you are looking for one specific upgrade, targeted part acquisition may provide better value than gambling on random chest contents.
Use Daily Deals Selectively
Daily Deals can offer specific Tuning Parts for Coins or Gems.
This is useful because you know what you are buying.
The Store can present Common, Rare, Epic, and other part offers for specific vehicles.
That makes targeted purchases more predictable than random chests.
However, do not buy every useful-looking part.
Ask:
Do I use this vehicle?
Do I use this part?
Is the upgrade important?
Is this preventing progression?
Would I rather save the Gems?
A targeted purchase is only good value if the target itself matters.
Scrap Is Also a Resource
Coins and Gems receive most of the attention, but Scrap is important for Tuning Part progression.
Unwanted parts can be converted into Scrap and used to help develop parts you actually need.
This effectively turns duplicate or low-priority drops into future progression.
That means chests containing unwanted parts are not completely wasted.
They may still contribute to your Scrap economy.
Avoid aggressively scrapping rare or useful parts before understanding where they might be valuable.
Tuning Parts Are Resources Too
When comparing farming activities, do not look only at the Coin number.
Suppose one reward gives you 30,000 Coins.
Another gives fewer Coins but provides several copies of a Tuning Part you were planning to upgrade.
The second reward may actually save more resources.
A strong HCR2 farming strategy values:
The goal is not to make your Coin balance as large as possible.
The goal is to develop the garage efficiently.
Vehicle Blueprints Can Save Other Resources
Some vehicles use Blueprints as part of their unlock progression.
Vehicle unlock systems have increasingly expanded beyond simple Coin purchases, including Trophy Road, Adventure progression, Public Events, and Blueprint-based unlocks.
Blueprints therefore have indirect economic value.
If a Task or chest gives you Blueprints toward an important vehicle, that reward may be more valuable than a small amount of Coins.
Do not judge every farming reward using only its displayed Coin amount.
Spend Coins Efficiently to Reduce Farming
The easiest Coin to farm is the Coin you do not waste.
One of the biggest mistakes in HCR2 is spending hundreds of thousands of Coins on upgrades that provide little immediate value.
Prioritize:
Vehicles you regularly use.
Tuning Parts included in multiple good builds.
Upgrades solving an actual performance problem.
Important Mastery investments.
Versatile vehicles that work in several modes.
Delay:
Rarely used vehicles.
Parts with no current purpose.
Expensive final upgrades on unimportant vehicles.
Mastery on vehicles you barely play.
The total potential garage cost is enormous.
Trying to upgrade everything equally is one of the fastest ways to remain permanently short on Coins.
Don't Max Every Tuning Part
Tuning Parts can consume huge amounts of Coins when upgraded across multiple vehicles.
Instead, identify a core group.
Broadly useful parts can include:
Nitro.
Coin Boost.
Wings.
Jump Shocks.
Landing Boost.
Winter Tires.
Magnet.
Afterburner.
Overcharged Turbo.
You may use different priorities depending on whether you focus on Cups or Adventure.
The important point is specialization.
A smaller number of strong parts will usually provide more practical value than dozens of mediocre upgrades.
Don't Rush Every Vehicle Mastery
Vehicle Mastery gives fully upgraded eligible vehicles another progression path.
However, Mastery upgrades themselves require significant Coin investment.
The original Mastery system requires a vehicle to reach 20/20/20/20 before Mastery XP can begin, after which XP, suitable Tuning Part progression, and Coins are required for further levels.
Mastery is valuable.
It is also expensive.
Do not spend millions developing Mastery for a vehicle that you rarely use while several core vehicles remain underpowered.
Coin Boost Does Not Mean More Coins
This name can confuse new players.
The Coin Boost Tuning Part provides a performance boost when Coins are collected.
It does not simply multiply your Coin balance.
Its main purpose is vehicle acceleration and momentum.
If your objective is resource farming, use it because it helps you drive farther or faster—not because you expect every Coin pickup to have a larger monetary value.
Use Resource Multipliers When They Provide Real Value
HCR2 contains several ways to improve certain reward payouts, including bonuses tied to Adventure and other reward systems.
The key word is value.
A multiplier is strongest when applied to a large base reward.
Doubling a poor run still gives a poor result.
Improving your driving and reaching a higher Adventure Chest first can make any available reward multiplier much more valuable.
Best Coin Farming Strategy for Beginners
New players should focus on reliable sources that do not require an advanced garage.
Strong options include:
Do not spend heavily trying to create a perfect farming vehicle immediately.
Build an affordable, reliable vehicle and gradually improve the quality of your Adventure runs.
As your garage develops, Adventure becomes increasingly powerful as a Coin source.
Best Coin Farming Strategy for Advanced Players
Developed accounts have more options.
Strong farming value can come from combining:
Advanced farming is therefore less about grinding one activity and more about stacking multiple reward systems efficiently.
If one Cup completes a Task, advances Trophy Road, maintains a Win Streak, and contributes toward a chest, that single race has much greater value than its direct Coin reward suggests.
Best Gem Farming Strategy
Gems reward patience more than endless repetition.
Prioritize all reliable gameplay sources:
Then protect your balance.
Gem farming becomes much easier when you stop spending Gems on:
Unnecessary chest acceleration.
Random low-value purchases.
Coin conversions you could have farmed normally.
Ticket refills with weak returns.
The difference between a player with hundreds of Gems and one with thousands is often not only how many they earned.
It is how many they avoided wasting.
Common Resource Farming Mistakes
Farming Only One Mode
HCR2 distributes rewards across many activities.
Ignoring everything except Adventure or Cups leaves resources unclaimed.
Spending Gems Like Coins
Gems are harder to replace.
Treat them accordingly.
Buying Random Chests Without a Goal
Randomized rewards may not provide the part or vehicle progression you need.
Ignoring Tasks
Tasks can provide direct Coins, chests, parts, and Trophy Road progression at the same time.
Ignoring Win Streaks
Consistent Cup victories can improve both rank progression and Victory Chest quality.
Using a Bad Adventure Farming Vehicle
Choose reliable distance over theoretical speed.
Using Too Much Fuel
Parts such as Afterburner can make an otherwise strong Adventure run end early.
Upgrading Everything
No account has enough Coins to efficiently max every new item immediately.
Prioritize.
Ignoring Teams
Teams 2.0 added additional currencies, Shop options, Research progression, and redistributed Coin and Gem rewards through Team activities.
Ignoring Full Frenzy
The v1.73 feature provides additional reward opportunities during Cup progression.
Hill Climb Racing 2 Coins and Gems FAQ
What is the best way to farm Coins in Hill Climb Racing 2?
Adventure is one of the strongest repeatable Coin sources once you can consistently reach high-distance chest levels. Cups, Tasks, Events, Team rewards, Trophy Road, chests, and Full Frenzy should also be combined for the best overall resource income.
Does Adventure give Coins?
Yes. Coins can be collected directly during Adventure runs, and Adventure Distance Chests provide additional Coins based on the chest level reached.
