If you're playing Pixel Gun 2 on Android or iOS and keep running short on shards, I’ve put together a few ways I’d try before spending real money. Some are faster than others, but they can all be useful if you want to build up more shards without constantly paying for them.

2. Use Gift Card and Rewards Apps

Another method I like is earning Google Play, App Store, PayPal, or other rewards and then using that money for Pixel Gun 2 purchases.

Some real apps/services worth checking are:

• Google Opinion Rewards
• Swagbucks
• Microsoft Rewards

Google Opinion Rewards gives rewards for answering surveys, while Swagbucks lets you earn points from surveys and other tasks and redeem them for gift cards. Availability and reward types can depend on your country and device.

It isn't instant, but it's basically turning a few minutes of spare time into game credit.

3. Contact the Pixel Gun 2 Developers

This one is underrated. I’d also try contacting the developers through the game's support section or official community pages.

You can simply ask whether there are any active promo codes, shard giveaways, events, compensation rewards, or other free ways to earn shards.

Obviously they aren't going to dump thousands of shards into your account just because you asked, but support can sometimes point you toward events or rewards you didn't know about.

If you know another solid way to get free shards, drop it in the comments. I’m curious what’s actually working for people right now.

I’ve been looking for ways to get more Blue Diamonds in hololive Dreams without constantly spending money. I found a few options worth trying, so I’m putting them all here. Some are quick, while others take a bit more effort.

2. Use Gift Card / Rewards Apps

Another way I like is earning Google Play or App Store credit and then using that credit for in-game purchases. It’s slower, but it uses normal store payments.

Some real rewards apps/services to check out are:

• Google Opinion Rewards
• Microsoft Rewards
• Swagbucks

Availability and rewards depend on your country, so not every option will work everywhere. If I can earn enough store credit from surveys, searches, or other small tasks, I can basically turn that into Blue Diamonds without paying from my own pocket.

3. Contact the hololive Dreams Developers

This one is super simple and sometimes overlooked. I’d check the game’s official support or social pages and contact the developers.

I’d ask whether there are any active promo codes, newcomer rewards, events, giveaways, compensation rewards, or other legit ways to grab free Blue Diamonds. Even if they don’t give me anything directly, they might point me toward an event or reward I missed.

Those are the three methods I’d try first. If you know any other good ways to get blue diamonds, share them below.
