Introduction: The Race for the Gold Skin
Are you trying to unlock the exclusive 10 Billion Visits Gold Skin before it’s too late? Or maybe you just started playing after Update 18 and feel overwhelmed by how expensive everything is?
You are not alone. Most players make the mistake of just building random walls and buying every gun they see. That is the slow way.
In this ultimate guide, I will share the “Speedrun Strategy”. This is the exact method pro players use to go from 0 cash to billions in profit, using the new features from the Valentine’s Update.
Phase 1: The “Bootstrap” Method (0 – 1 Million Cash)
DO NOT start building your tycoon yet. If you build first, you will run out of money instantly.
Step 1: Free Cash Injection
The developers released massive codes for February 2026. Before you place a single dropper, redeem these codes. They will give you enough cash to skip the first 2 hours of grinding.

Step 2: Avoid Rookie Mistakes
Did you know that buying the wrong windows can slow down your progress by 20%? Or that fighting too early is a waste of time?

Phase 2: Multipliers are Everything (1 Million – 100 Million)
Now that you have a base, you need to boost your income. Math is your best friend here.
The Secret 10% Boost
There is a hidden “Golden Egg” located on the map. It’s not just an easter egg; finding it gives you a permanent +10% Cash Multiplier. You literally lose money every second you don’t have it.

⚙️ Pro Tip: The Perfect Tycoon Build Order
Don’t waste cash on decorations early! Follow this priority list to maximize your income speed.
| Priority | Upgrade Type | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Critical (Start Here) | Droppers & Conveyors | Your only source of income. Build these first. |
| 2. Essential | Cash Collectors & Upgraders | Increases the value of every drop. |
| 3. Important | Secret Egg (+10% Boost) | Permanent passive income multiplier. Get it ASAP! |
| 4. Defense | 1st Floor Walls & Doors | Stops low-level players from stealing your cash. |
| 5. Offense (Mid-Game) | PVP Weapons | Only buy when you have spare millions. Use our Tier List. |
| 6. Luxury (Late Game) | Aesthetics (Lights, Trees, 2nd Floor) | Do not buy until you are rich! They give $0 income. |
Buying the Right Upgrades
Focus on your droppers first. Ignore the aesthetic upgrades (lights, plants) until your income is stable.
Phase 3: The AFK King (100 Million – 1 Billion)
You can’t play Roblox 24 hours a day… or can you? The richest players in Gun Tycoon make 80% of their money while they are sleeping.
With Update 18, the AFK mechanics slightly changed. You need to position your character in a specific spot to avoid being kicked or killed by other players during the “Free Weapon Weekend”.

Phase 4: Combat & Domination (1 Billion+)
Now you are rich. It’s time to fight. But Update 18 rebalanced many weapons. The gun that was OP last month might be weak now.
Don’t waste your Billions buying weak guns. I have tested every single weapon in the game for PVP and Defense.
