Ice is the primary currency in Knockout that lets you purchase eggs, unlock skins, and customize your penguin. Unlike Robux which requires real money, Ice can be earned entirely free through gameplay, making it accessible to all players regardless of whether they spend money. However, earning Ice efficiently requires knowing which methods provide the best rewards for your time investment. This guide covers every way to obtain Ice in Knockout.
All Methods to Get Ice in Knockout
Playing Matches
The most straightforward way to earn Ice is by playing Knockout matches. Every match you complete rewards Ice based on your placement, with higher placements earning more. Winning a match gives you the maximum Ice reward, but even if you get eliminated early, you still receive a small amount of Ice for participating.
This method is the foundation of Ice earning because you’re getting rewarded for doing what you’d already be doing – playing the game. You don’t need to go out of your way or complete specific objectives. Just queue into matches, try to survive as long as possible, and the Ice accumulates automatically. Check out our Knockout beginner guide to help you through your first few matches.
Completing the Parkour Obby
The parkour obby in the lobby is one of the most reliable Ice sources for free-to-play players. Every time you successfully complete the obby course, you receive 10 Ice plus a guaranteed Rainbow penguin skin. The obby consists of a series of jumping challenges that take approximately one minute to complete once you learn the route and timing.
What makes the obby special is that there’s no cooldown or daily limit. You can repeat it as many times as you want, making it an excellent Ice farm when you’re not in the mood for competitive matches or when you’re waiting for friends. Spending 10-15 minutes running the obby can net you 100-150 Ice, which is comparable to playing several matches but with more consistency since your reward doesn’t depend on match performance.
Daily and Weekly Challenges
Daily challenges appear in your Quest tab and refresh every 24 hours. These challenges require you to complete specific in-game objectives such as winning a certain number of matches, knocking out a specific number of opponents, surviving to top 3 multiple times, or accumulating a certain number of eliminations. Each challenge shows its Ice reward upfront, so you know exactly what you’re working toward.
Always check your daily challenges at the start of each play session and prioritize completing them. Even if you only complete one or two dailies per day, the Ice adds up significantly over a week. Daily challenges are time-gated, meaning you can’t stockpile them, so try to complete them before they reset to avoid missing out on free Ice.
Weekly challenges work similarly to daily challenges but are more demanding and offer substantially larger Ice rewards. These challenges refresh every seven days and typically require longer-term objectives like winning a certain number of matches total, accumulating a high knockout count, or reaching specific placement thresholds repeatedly.
Spin Wheel
The spin wheel gives you random rewards including Ice, penguin skins, and arrow skins. Every spin has a chance to land on various Ice amounts ranging from small payouts to jackpot rewards. The Ice amounts vary based on the rarity tier you land on, with common spins giving modest Ice and legendary spins providing large amounts.
The spin wheel’s Ice rewards are inconsistent since they’re randomized, but over many spins, the average Ice gained adds up. Think of spin wheel Ice as a bonus on top of your other earning methods rather than a primary Ice source.
Redeeming Codes
Knockout periodically releases codes that reward free Ice, spins, and sometimes exclusive items. Codes typically have expiration dates, so redeeming them quickly after they’re announced is important. Check out our Knockout redeem code guide to learn more about them!
Like Reward (One-Time Bonus)
Knockout offers a one-time Ice bonus for liking the game on Roblox. This is a simple promotional incentive that rewards players for supporting the game with a thumbs-up. Just click the like button on Knockout’s Roblox game page, and you’ll receive an Ice box containing a reward.
Buying Ice with Robux
If you want to skip the grind and obtain Ice immediately, you can purchase Ice packs directly from the shop using Robux. Knockout offers three Ice pack tiers with different price points and values:
| Ice Amount | Robux Cost |
|---|---|
| 1,000 Ice | 50 Robux |
| 5,000 Ice | 150 Robux |
| 12,500 Ice | 300 Robux |
Purchasing Ice is entirely optional and not necessary to enjoy Knockout. Everything in the game except gamepasses can be earned through free methods. However, buying Ice saves time if you want specific skins immediately or don’t want to grind matches and challenges.
What’s the Best Way to Get Ice in Knockout?
The most efficient Ice earning strategy combines multiple methods rather than relying on a single source. Here’s the optimal approach for maximizing Ice gains:
- For Active Players: Focus on completing daily and weekly challenges while playing matches naturally. Check your Quest tab at the start of each session, note which challenges you have active, and play matches with those objectives in mind.
- For Passive Ice Farming: The parkour obby is unbeatable for consistent, guaranteed Ice gains. If you’re not confident in your match performance or just want to grind Ice while watching videos or listening to music, run the obby repeatedly.
- For Casual Players: Prioritize weekly challenges and free spins. Even if you only play a few matches per day, completing one weekly challenge gives you massive Ice rewards that rival dozens of match completions.
The absolute best strategy uses everything together. Play matches to complete daily and weekly challenges simultaneously, claim your free spins whenever they’re available, run the obby during queue times or when you’re tilted from losses, redeem new codes immediately when announced, and maintain consistency over days and weeks. Players who use all Ice sources earn 5-10x more Ice than players who only play matches casually.
