MATCHMAKING UPDATE! ๐ข
- Global Matchmaking! - 2 New Bundles - OG MAP IS BACK!
Knife VS Gun DUELS is a one-on-one PvP game where you step onto a duel pad in the lobby and immediately fight another player using either a knife or a gun. Win duels to earn coins, unlock items, trade with others, and climb the streak leaderboard. This guide covers how to get started, how to fight with each weapon, how to spend your coins wisely, and how to stay safe while trading.

[๐๏ธ] Knife VS Gun DUELS
When you load in, take a moment to find the duel pads, the shop, your inventory, the cases area, and the leaderboard before you do anything else. Your first few duels matter less for winning and more for learning how movement, jumping, and the camera feel. Try both a knife duel and a gun duel early on so you understand how the game works from both sides.
find the duel pads, shop, inventory screen, cases area, and leaderboard before stepping on anything.
play a few rounds with a knife and a few with a gun to see how each side feels.
after each duel, ask whether you lost because of distance, aim, or your opening move.
do not spend everything right away; wait until you know what you actually want.
The two weapons demand completely different approaches to the same duel. A knife player who runs straight at the opponent is easy to shoot, so side-to-side movement and cover are essential. A gun player who only backs up will eventually run into a wall or the edge of the map, so position matters as much as aim. After either side misses, moving sideways to reset the angle before attacking again is a habit worth building early.
| Knife | close distance โ strafe left and right and use cover; rush in right after the opponent misses. |
| Gun | keep distance โ hold your aim on the path the opponent is taking, then fire when they land or change direction. |
| Knife risk | predictable jumps โ repeating the same jump direction lets the opponent read you. |
| Gun risk | backing into walls โ retreating in a straight line traps you at the map edge. |
| Shared habit | reset after missing โ move sideways before your next attack instead of repeating the same angle. |
| Opening read | opponent type โ spend the first one or two seconds checking whether they rush straight in or hang back. |
Events running now or coming soon. They have fixed dates, so check them first.

Coins come from winning duels, so the most reliable way to earn them is to find match-ups where you can actually compete rather than taking on the toughest players in the lobby over and over. Once you have coins, check the price of what you want before opening your wallet. Cases give random items, so deciding how many you will open โ and sticking to that number โ saves you from spending everything on luck.
On PC, movement uses W, A, S, and D, Space handles jumping, and the mouse covers aiming and attacking. On a phone or tablet, the virtual stick on the left side of the screen moves your character, swiping the right side moves the camera, and on-screen buttons handle attacking and jumping. If you use a controller, open Roblox's control settings before your first duel and confirm the left and right stick assignments along with the attack button. When adjusting sensitivity, change it a little at a time and play a few duels before touching it again โ large jumps make it hard to tell what actually helped.
W/A/S/D to move, Space to jump, mouse to aim and attack.
left virtual stick to move, right-side swipe to turn the camera, on-screen buttons to jump and attack.
check left and right stick assignments and the attack button in Roblox settings before playing.
aim overshoots the target; nudge it down and test for a few duels before adjusting again.
camera feels slow to turn; nudge it up slightly and avoid large changes at once.
Before blaming the opponent's gear, try to pin your loss on one thing. Getting eliminated before you reach your opponent points to how you move in; getting rushed down points to distance control; shots passing through thin air point to aim or sensitivity; opponents seeming to teleport points to your connection. Pick one fix, apply it for five duels, and judge results by whether your behaviour changed, not just the scoreboard.
Always use the in-game trade screen and review the item name, quantity, and rarity one final time before you confirm. Item values shift when new content is added, so one person's offer is not always a fair price. Watch for a last-second swap where someone replaces an agreed item right before you hit confirm. Anyone who asks you to send items first and receive something later, or who points you to an outside site, is trying to take your items without giving anything back.
Several game passes are available. The lobby jetpack is marked as usable in the lobby only, so it has no effect on duel outcomes. The VIP pass lists a chat tag, a name tag, and a coin bonus at the time of purchase among its stated benefits. A custom crosshair option also exists. Prices and availability can change, so check the current in-game listing before spending anything.
The game distributes free codes from time to time, and several are currently active. Each code works only once, and most have an expiry date, so use one as soon as you have it.
look near the menu or shop area in the lobby for a dedicated code entry button.
one wrong letter, wrong case, or missed number means the code will not work.
codes carry expiry dates, so waiting too long means losing the reward.
official in-game announcements and the game's social channels are where codes are posted.
No. Basic duels, coin earning, and item collecting are all available without spending anything.
If you prefer getting in close and moving fast, the knife suits that style. If you would rather keep your distance and take careful shots, the gun fits better. Try both for a few duels each so you can handle whichever side you are assigned.
Winning duels is the direct source of coins. Spend coins on things you have already decided you want rather than putting everything into cases.
Keep winning to build streaks and climb the leaderboard. After each loss, identify one specific thing to fix and focus on that for the next few duels rather than rushing back in with the same approach.
Check whether a player is standing on the opposite pad. If nobody is there, move to a different pad and try again.
