Gems are one of the hardest currencies to get in Brawl Stars. Lucky for you, several ways allow you to get your hands on them for free!

As the premium currency in Brawl Stars, Gems have a reputation for being scarce for many players. You will need to fork out real-life money if you want to have a big stash of them to buy in-game items such as Brawlers or cosmetics.
However, several ways can help you get them for free. And no, we won't bombard you with sketchy links or APK mods that will break the game and get you banned.
Instead, we'll show you all the working ways that Gems can be earned for free right now in Brawl Stars.
How To Get Free Gems In Brawl Stars
There are three main ways: progressing through the Brawl Pass, completing Special Quests, and earning Gems as a compensation reward. Let's dive into the specifics.
Progressing Through the Brawl Pass and Brawl Pass Plus

The Brawl Pass is a seasonal progression system with multiple reward tiers. There are three tracks available: The free Brawl Pass, the paid Brawl Pass, and the premium Brawl Pass Plus.
Regardless of the one you choose, there will always be Gems on the free reward path of the season's Brawl Pass. Simply complete daily or seasonal Quests to obtain XP. These will help you progress along the reward track and get to those coveted Gems, which are usually sprinkled across tiers.
Unfortunately, the Gem rewards in the Brawl Pass are not substantial, however, they're a more reliable way of earning free Gems compared to the next couple of ways you can earn free Gems.
Free Gems Can Be Rewarded As Compensation

Supercell has a history of handing out Gems to players as compensation in extremely terrible circumstances, such as turbulent updates or game-breaking bugs. But, being the well-oiled machine that Supercell is, these types of cases are a rarity.
But, if Supercell rewards you with Gems, you may be looking at maybe tens or hundreds of these shiny green currencies sitting in your inbox.
Complete Special Quests to Unlock Free Gems

Special Quests are different from regular daily or seasonal Quests because of what they offer as rewards. They can have Coins, Sprays, Emotes, or even Gems.
Gem-rewarding Quests are, as you might have guessed, rare too. There have only been a handful of them in Brawl Stars' long history. However, if you find them, they're usually simple tasks you can easily complete for a few Gems.
