Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend Robux to reach the top ranks?
No. The free 1.2x points multiplier from joining the A Mongoose Studio community is the only external boost mentioned, and it costs nothing.
What should I do first when I load in?
Press H and read the full help guide before you do anything else. The game itself says this, because the mechanics are specific enough that jumping in blind leads to unnecessary deaths.
How do I unlock the Spyglass gear?
Finish the Challenge Tower. Completing your first tower is the unlock condition stated in the badge description, and the Spyglass gear becomes available immediately after.
Is there anything after reaching God rank?
Level milestones continue past the rank system — there are badges for reaching Level 200 and Level 300, so progression does not stop at God rank.
