Knife Arena Codes January 2026 – Free Knives & Coins (Working)

Knife Arena scratches an itch I didn't know I had. It's pure knife-throwing combat - no guns, no abilities, just you and your blade against other players. I picked it up expecting a simple time-waster and ended up playing for 3 hours straight.

The game focuses entirely on knife mechanics. Throw speed, damage, range, trajectory - every knife feels different. I started with the default knife and got destroyed. Then I used codes to unlock a faster knife and suddenly I was competitive. The difference a good knife makes is massive.

If you've played Murder Mystery or Arsenal, this is like those games but stripped down to just the knife combat. And honestly? It's better for it. No distractions, just pure skill-based throwing.

Why These Codes Are Essential

Your knife determines everything in this game. Different knives have different:

• Throw speed - How fast the knife travels through the air
• Damage - How much health it takes on hit
• Range - How far you can accurately throw
• Trajectory - How much the knife drops over distance

The default knife is... fine. It works. But it's slow and has significant drop. I was losing fights because my knives were arriving after my opponent's. The codes give you access to better knives immediately, skipping the coin grind.

I unlocked a fast knife from the LAUNCH code and my kill/death ratio improved instantly. Not because I got better - because my knife was actually competitive. Don't handicap yourself with default gear.

Every Working Code Right Now

Last verified: December 22, 2025. Both codes tested this morning.

LAUNCH - Celebration code for the game's launch. Gives you a free starter knife that's significantly better than the default. The knife has faster throw speed and less drop. I used this knife for my first 50 kills before upgrading.

FPS - Bonus coins to spend in the shop. The name probably references the FPS (first-person shooter) genre. Use these coins to unlock knife skins or save for a premium knife. I spent mine on a skin because I'm weak.

The game is new and growing. Expect more codes as it hits player milestones. I'll update this page the moment new codes drop.

How to Find the Codes Menu

Look for the Settings gear icon or a dedicated Codes button. The exact location might vary with updates, but it's usually visible on the main screen.

Step 1: Open Knife Arena on Roblox

Step 2: Look for Settings (gear icon) or Codes button

Step 3: Click to open the code entry screen

Step 4: Type your code exactly as shown (case-sensitive!)

Step 5: Hit Redeem

Step 6: Check your inventory for new knives or your coin balance

Pro tip: The LAUNCH code gives a knife, not coins. Make sure to equip it after redeeming - I played three matches with the default knife before realizing I had a better one sitting in my inventory.

Gameplay Tips From Someone Who Sucked (Then Got Better)

I was terrible at this game for my first hour. Here's what changed:

Lead your throws. This was my biggest mistake. I was aiming directly at enemies and missing because knives have travel time. Aim where they're going to be, not where they are. The faster your knife, the less you need to lead.

Learn the maps. Every map has sightlines, hiding spots, and high-traffic areas. I started winning more when I stopped running around randomly and started positioning myself in good spots. Corners are your friend.

Don't spam throws. Each throw has a cooldown. If you miss, you're vulnerable. I used to panic-throw and get killed during cooldown. Now I wait for good opportunities. One accurate throw beats three missed ones.

Use cover. You're vulnerable while throwing. Use walls and obstacles to protect yourself. Peek, throw, hide. Repeat. I stopped dying as much when I stopped standing in the open.

Find your knife. Different knives suit different playstyles:

• Fast knives - Quick throws, lower damage. Good for aggressive players who want to spam.
• Heavy knives - Slow but high damage. One-shot potential if you're accurate.
• Balanced knives - Middle ground. Good for learning.

I thought I wanted a heavy knife for the damage. Turns out I'm an aggressive player who benefits more from fast throws. Experiment to find what works for you.

Knife Recommendations

Based on my testing:

For beginners: Start with the LAUNCH code knife. It's fast enough to be forgiving but has decent damage. Learn the basics before experimenting.

For aggressive players: Fast knives. You want to throw often and overwhelm opponents. Damage per throw matters less than throws per second.

For patient players: Heavy knives. Wait for the perfect moment, land one throw, win. High risk, high reward.

Avoid: The default knife. It's intentionally mediocre to encourage progression. Use codes to skip it.

What Makes This Game Addictive

The skill ceiling is surprisingly high. At first, I thought knife throwing was simple - point and click. But there's depth:

• Predicting enemy movement
• Managing throw cooldowns
• Positioning for good angles
• Knowing when to engage vs. retreat

Every kill feels earned. There's no luck involved - if you hit someone, it's because you aimed well. If you miss, it's on you. That feedback loop is satisfying.

The matches are also quick. 5-10 minutes per game means you can play a few rounds without committing hours. Perfect for when you want competitive gameplay but don't have time for a full gaming session.
