- Rebirths reset your item collection in exchange for permanent Luck and progression boosts.
- Gems are the key currency: spend them on pusher tiers and Rebirths in the Shop.
- Best timing: rebirth when your next pusher upgrade is out of reach, not before.
- Free Gems: redeem codes (like 2KCCU) and like the game plus join the Rsix Studio group for +1 Luck.
- Secrets matter: rare items come from exploring and searching, not just grinding.
How the Rebirth System Works
In Collect 1 Million Items, the Rebirth system is the core long-term progression loop. You collect items across the map, convert your progress into Gems through the Shop, and then spend those Gems on either stronger pushers or a full Rebirth. A Rebirth resets your immediate collection progress but permanently increases your Luck, which directly improves your odds of finding rare and secret items on future runs.
Think of each Rebirth cycle as a "run": collect, upgrade, rebirth, repeat. The higher your Luck climbs, the more valuable each run becomes, so the loop accelerates over time.
| Mechanic | What It Does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Pusher upgrades | Improves automatic collection power for the current run | Gems (scaling by tier) |
| Rebirth | Resets run progress, grants permanent Luck increase | Gems (increases per Rebirth) |
| Luck | Boosts rare item and secret discovery rates | Earned via Rebirths and group bonuses |
| Secrets | Hidden collectibles scattered around the map | Free to find, Luck-dependent |
Every point of Luck makes rare finds more likely, which means faster Gem income, which means faster Rebirths. Early Rebirths may feel slow, but the snowball effect kicks in quickly after two or three cycles.
Free Gems: Codes and Group Bonuses
Before grinding out Rebirths, make sure you claim every free Gem source available. Codes give you a small but useful Gem cushion in the Shop, which can cover the gap when a pusher tier or Rebirth is just barely out of reach.
Currently confirmed working code (as of September 2026, via GameRant's code page):
| Code | Reward | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2KCCU | 5 Gems | Active (new) |
To redeem codes in-game:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open Collect 1 Million Items and wait for your character to load |
| 2 | Open the Shop |
| 3 | Find the codes box at the bottom of the Shop menu |
| 4 | Paste the code exactly and claim your Gems |
Paste codes so the letters match exactly. Codes are typically added after game updates or player-count milestones, so check back regularly rather than relying on lists that may be outdated.
Beyond codes, the official game page offers a standing bonus: like the game and join the Rsix Studio group for +1 Luck. That is a permanent edge at zero cost, and studio news (including new codes) usually drops there first.
Step-by-Step Rebirth Strategy
Here is the most efficient Rebirth loop based on how the game's Gem economy is structured.
Claim Free Bonuses First
Redeem all active codes, like the game, and join the Rsix Studio group. Starting each session with bonus Gems and +1 Luck means fewer wasted minutes per run.
Collect and Search for Secrets
Gather items across the map, but prioritize exploring for secrets and rare finds. Luck-dependent rare items feed your Gem income faster than pure bulk collection.
Upgrade the Pusher in Front of You
Spend Gems on the pusher upgrade that is immediately available. Pushers increase your collection rate, which shortens every future run.
Rebirth When You Hit a Wall
When the next pusher tier or Rebirth cost is clearly out of reach for your current run, spend your Gems on the Rebirth instead. The permanent Luck gain makes the reset worthwhile.
Repeat and Escalate
Each cycle should be faster than the last thanks to accumulated Luck. Flex your rare finds between runs, then dive back in.
Five Gems (one code redemption) can be enough to close the gap on a pusher tier or Rebirth when you are just short. Never sit on codes, redeem them as soon as you plan a Shop visit.
Pushers vs. Rebirths: When to Spend
The biggest decision in every run is whether your Gems go toward a pusher upgrade or a Rebirth. Here is how the two options compare:
Pusher Upgrade
- Best early in a run
- Speeds up current collection
- Lost on Rebirth
- Ideal when tier cost is close
Rebirth
- Best when progress stalls
- Grants permanent Luck
- Resets current run
- Compounds long-term value
Hold Gems
- Rarely correct
- Only when both costs are far away
- Gems sitting idle earn nothing
- Spend as soon as a threshold is near
| Situation | Recommended Spend | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Early in a fresh run | Pusher upgrade | Faster collection shortens the run |
| Next tier is 5 Gems away | Pusher (use codes) | Codes close small gaps instantly |
| Tier cost far exceeds income | Rebirth | Luck gain improves all future runs |
| Multiple Rebirths completed | Pusher then Rebirth | Higher Luck makes pushers pay off faster |
| Rare item drought | Rebirth | More Luck means better rare find rates |
Sinking every Gem into pushers right before a Rebirth wastes their value, since pusher progress resets. Time your final pusher purchase early enough in a run to earn it back.

Rebirth FAQ
Q: What does a Rebirth do in Collect 1 Million Items?
A Rebirth resets your current run progress in exchange for a permanent Luck increase, which improves your chances of finding rare items and secrets on every future run. Rebirths are purchased with Gems in the Shop.
Q: Should I upgrade pushers or buy a Rebirth first?
Upgrade pushers early in a run when the next tier is affordable, since faster collection shortens the run. Choose a Rebirth when the next pusher tier clearly costs more Gems than you can earn this run, because permanent Luck outvalues a reset.
Q: How do I get free Gems for Rebirths?
Redeem active codes in the Shop's codes box for free Gems, and watch for new codes after game updates or player-count milestones. Also like the game and join the Rsix Studio group, which grants +1 Luck and early access to studio news.
Q: Do Rebirths increase rare item drops?
Yes. Luck gained from Rebirths (and the group bonus) directly improves rare item and secret discovery rates, which is why the Rebirth loop accelerates as you stack more of them.
