Survive a Million Monkeys is a Roblox co-op horde shooter. You earn Cash during a run, then bank Gems to unlock stronger classes and weapons. I compared five guides and checked every update date. My short answer: redeem all active codes, buy Engineer first, save for Bomber, and push for a Tier 4 weapon. Here’s the quick version:

Survive a Million Monkeys Codes (October 2026)

I checked Destructoid (updated Oct 10) and Cheat Code Central (Oct 8). Together they list these five codes, worth 17,000+ Gems:

CodeRewardsStatus
MAYHEM5,000 GemsActive (new, one source)
1MVISITS10,000 GemsActive
5MVISITSGems (amount unconfirmed)Active (reported)
SURVIVE1,000 GemsActive
MONKEYS1,000 GemsActive (on official game page)

Expired codes: none reported yet. Launch codes like these tend to vanish quickly, so I’d claim them today.

Watch your typing: 1MVISITS starts with the number 1, not a capital I. One older guide lists it without the final S, and that version may fail.

How to Redeem Codes?

  1. Launch Survive a Million Monkeys on Roblox.
  2. Finish the tutorial. The Codes button won’t appear until you reach the lobby.
  3. Click Codes in the top-right corner.
  4. Type a code in the box and press the green check mark.
  5. Repeat for each code.

If a code fails, it’s probably already claimed. Each code works once per account. You can also rejoin after an update and retry.

Best Classes in Survive a Million Monkeys

Classes replace your G, X and Ultimate abilities. Gem prices below are an October 6 snapshot reported by Bloxodes, so check your in-game Classes menu before buying.

1. Bomber (Best Damage)

Bomber is my top pick once you can afford it. Satchel and Short Fuse each deal 200 damage, and Short Fuse hits a large area. Blast Dash leaves a trail of 120-damage explosions behind you, which makes it both an escape tool and an attack. Both blasts cost only 40 Cash.

2. Engineer (Best Value)

Engineer costs a quarter of Bomber’s price. Its turret shoots on its own for 9 damage per shot and costs 50 Cash. Overclock then boosts every turret’s fire rate and damage for 10 seconds. If you’re saving Gems, buy this class first.

3. Juggernaut

Juggernaut suits players who get surrounded a lot. Ground Slam deals 60 damage and knocks monkeys back. Brace cuts incoming damage by 30% for five seconds, and Warpath adds 100 health and taunts nearby enemies.

4. Medic

Medic is weak solo but strong with friends. The Healing Pod restores 15 health per tick to everyone standing inside it. Code Blue heals the whole team at once.

5. Outlaw

Outlaw is a premium class from the Gunslinger Bundle, which also includes 50,000 Gems. Every skill deals 200 damage. It’s strong, but you can progress without paying.

6. Survivor

Survivor is the free default. Its Airstrike ultimate is a good panic button, but you’ll outgrow the class quickly.

Best Weapons in Survive a Million Monkeys

Weapons come in four tiers: handguns, shotguns and medium-range guns, assault rifles, then heavy weapons. Pressing V during a run spends Cash to climb one tier. Cash upgrades vanish when the run ends, while Gems unlock better weapons permanently in the hub.

Roonby’s suggested progression is Deagle (Tier 1), P90 (Tier 2), SCAR (Tier 3) and Grenade Launcher (Tier 4). I couldn’t confirm those names elsewhere, so treat them as one writer’s picks. The tier logic does match other guides, which say to spend Gems on high-tier weapons first because you only use handguns briefly.

You can usually reach Tier 4 around wave 20, depending on the Cash your monkeys drop. Pair a heavy weapon with Bomber’s explosions or Engineer’s turret, and big waves become far easier.

Glitches and Map Tricks

Roonby reports three exploits: climbing a lamp onto an antenna, reaching a house roof, and standing in trees. I found no second source confirming any of them. Treat them as unverified, and expect patches to break them. Never rely on one as your only strategy.

Pro Tips for Surviving Longer

  • Don’t camp after wave 20. Switch to run-and-gun, because mixed monster crowds will pin you down.
  • Save your Ultimate. It recharges every 100 kills, so use it when a run is about to end.
  • Spend Cash before spikes. Buy weapon (V) and health (C) tiers instead of hoarding.
  • Kill fast monkeys first. They race ahead and cut off your escape route.
  • Cluster, then blast. Let the horde bunch up, then use grenades or area damage.
  • Team up. Matches support up to four players, and rewards are split by contribution.

FAQs

What are the best classes in Survive a Million Monkeys?

Redeem the five active codes, which are worth 17,000+ Gems. You also earn Gems at the end of every run based on kills and waves cleared.

Why isn’t my code working?

Finish the tutorial first. Then check the spelling, since 1MVISITS starts with the number 1. Each code works once per account, and a code may have expired.
