Quick Guide
  • Smash the City is a Roblox destruction simulator by Kabooom Crew with 50+ weapons and 11 maps.
  • Core loop: destroy buildings, earn coins, unlock stronger weapons, and open new maps.
  • Milestones matter: rewards trigger at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 95% city destruction.
  • Starter pick: the Missile is the most reliable early weapon for focused attacks.
  • Redeem the code SMASH for 5,000 Coins through the in-game redemption interface.

Smash the City Basics: What You Need to Know First

Smash the City, developed by Kabooom Crew on Roblox, is a physics-based destruction simulator. You select a weapon, aim at a city, and bring down buildings using missiles, nukes, tornadoes, tsunamis, meteors, black holes, and orbital lasers. Every structure you destroy feeds into your destruction percentage and coin balance, which in turn unlocks bigger weapons and new maps.

A separate experience called "SMASH the CITY" by RUDimentary Games also exists on Roblox. This guide covers the Kabooom Crew version, which focuses on missile, nuke, and disaster-style weapons rather than stat upgrades.

Before Your First Run

Redeem the SMASH code before doing anything else. The 5,000 Coins give you an early boost toward your first weapon upgrades.

Step-by-Step: Your First Session

Follow this order during your first session to learn the destruction loop without wasting coins.

1

Enter the Game and Learn the Destruction Loop

Start by destroying nearby objects with your default weapon. Watch how each destroyed structure adds coins and increases your destruction percentage. Stay close to your starting area while you learn movement, aiming, and firing.

2

Choose a Practical Starter Weapon

Use the Missile for early progression. It delivers straightforward, focused damage on individual structures and has a low learning curve. Compare range, blast radius, and cooldown while clearing small building groups.

3

Destroy Buildings for Coins and Progress

Clear dense building clusters and track your destruction percentage. Rotate to a new area when your current target zone runs out of efficient structures.

4

Push Toward Milestone Rewards

Keep clearing until you hit the 25% and 50% destruction milestones. These payouts add significant coins on top of your per-building income.

5

Unlock New Maps and Stronger Weapons

Spend earned coins on weapon upgrades and map unlocks. Only move into a new area when your current weapon can clear it efficiently.

Progression Rule of Thumb

Claim milestone rewards before making major purchases. Planning upgrades with your full balance prevents wasting coins on weaker weapons you will outgrow quickly.

Weapon Guide: What to Use and When

The weapon roster spans focused projectiles and large-scale environmental disasters. Picking the right tool for the target cluster is the single biggest factor in farming efficiency.

WeaponCategoryEffectBest Use
MissileProjectileFocused explosive on one targetEarly game, isolated structures
TornadoWeatherSweeps and damages multiple targetsRepeated farming, crowded areas
TsunamiWaterBroad wave across the mapLong lines of buildings
NukeNuclearWide-area burst explosionDense clusters, fast burst clearing
MeteorImpactHigh-impact drop on a zoneDurable or clustered targets
Black HoleSingularityPulls and destroys over a huge areaLate-game mass clearing
Orbital LaserOrbitalChanneled laser strikeMajor priority structures

Early Game: Missile

  • Reliable single-target damage
  • Low cost, low learning curve
  • Best for first map clears

Mid Game: Nuke / Meteor

  • Wide-area burst clearing
  • Strong against dense clusters
  • Great coin-per-run value

Late Game: Black Hole

  • Massive area coverage
  • Top-tier late-game clearing
  • Pairs well with milestone pushes
Judge by Clear Speed, Not Damage Numbers

A weapon with modest listed damage but a fast attack cycle often out-farms a slow, heavy hitter. Compare how many structures you can destroy per minute.

Coin Farming and Destruction Milestones

Coins come from two sources: individual destroyed structures and destruction-percentage milestones. The most efficient players combine both into a single repeatable route.

MilestoneTriggerPlanning Value
25%One quarter of the city destroyedPractical early target, short sessions
50%Half of the city destroyedGood checkpoint to evaluate route efficiency
75%Three quarters destroyedRequires a reliable route and stronger weapons
95%Nearly all structures destroyedFinal checkpoint before a complete clear

Follow these farming principles to maximize income per run:

  • Start with nearby buildings to minimize travel time and build a consistent first route.
  • Follow a dense loop through adjacent structures instead of moving randomly across the map.
  • Use your highest-efficiency weapon — faster destruction means more targets per run.
  • Push to the next milestone instead of stopping after a few buildings; milestone payouts are where runs become profitable.
  • Repeat the fastest cycle after testing a few routes, and upgrade only when speed justifies the cost.
Maps Change Your Route

Each of the 11 maps has different building density. Open maps favor Tsunami sweeps, while dense urban grids reward Nuke and Black Hole bursts.

Beginner Checklist and Common Mistakes

Your First Session Goals:

  • Redeem the SMASH code for 5,000 Coins
  • Learn the destruction loop on nearby buildings
  • Reach the 25% destruction milestone
  • Test the Missile on isolated and clustered targets
  • Save enough coins for your first weapon upgrade

Common mistakes that slow new players down:

MistakeWhy It HurtsFix
Buying weapons too earlyCoins wasted on weak upgradesClaim milestones before purchasing
Random map wanderingTravel time kills farming speedFollow a fixed dense route
Ignoring milestonesMissing large bonus payoutsPush to 50% before leaving a run
Jumping to hard mapsSlower clears, lower incomeUpgrade clear speed first
One-weapon habitPoor fit for different clustersMatch weapon to target density
Watch for Updates

Kabooom Crew ships event-based updates that add weapons, maps, and limited-time rewards. Check the official game page regularly so your routes stay efficient after balance changes.

FAQ

Q: How do you play Smash the City as a beginner?

Enter the game through the official Roblox page, redeem the SMASH code, then use your starter Missile on nearby buildings. Follow a dense route, push toward the 25% and 50% destruction milestones, and spend coins on weapon upgrades before unlocking harder maps.

Q: What is the best starter weapon in Smash the City?

The Missile is the most practical early weapon thanks to its reliable focused damage and low learning curve. As coins accumulate, move toward the Nuke for dense clusters and the Black Hole for late-game mass clearing.

Q: How do you earn coins fast?

Combine a fixed route through dense building clusters, your highest-clear-speed weapon, and full pushes toward destruction milestones at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 95%. Milestone rewards significantly outperform stopping after a handful of buildings.

Q: How many weapons and maps does the game have?

Smash the City currently features more than 50 weapons across projectile, nuclear, weather, water, impact, singularity, and orbital categories, along with 11 destructible city maps, with more added through event-based updates.
