Gear Island Access Techniques

Various techniques to go to the gear island (without getting your builder friends to help you). Feel free to add anything.

Wait it out
Simply wait it out by AFKing or having fun in the server, and once everyone else has left type "!Regenserver" or another command i don't remember, i think it was "!Regenspawn" which will either delete all the spawns or all buildings depending on which command you used, then spawn you back on the gear island.

Pros


 * No skill required at all. Just patience.
 * Mght make a friend or two if you decide to have fun rather than AFKing.

Cons


 * People will try and do the same as you.
 * Builder will take a while to leave, as they're probably having more fun than you.
 * Can take a very long time.
 * Even if you do regenerate the server, somebody will probably join shortly after and kill you.
 * All kill blocks are removed.

Common Quotes:


 * "If you leave I'll give you robux"
 * "GUYS PLSSSS LEAVE"
 * "Everyone leave and rejoin i'll let you be builder too pleaseeee"

Be annoying
Either beg, tell a pity story, play the worst audio for human ears, spam in the chat and/or a combination of all of them. This works best in combination with the previous Wait It Out technique or if you're lucky, the builder just might help you then leave because they literally can't stand you.

Pros


 * Also no skill required.
 * Fun, not for everyone else though.

Cons


 * Hardly ever works; the builder will probably have more of the urge to kill you.
 * You make more friends than enemies most likely.

Common Quotes:


 * "OFF THE MUSIC" - The builder in the server
 * "helpmepleasehelpmepleasehelpmepleasehelpmepleasehelpmeplease" - A very desperate man
 * "help me NOW i have banned gears"
 * "bruh stop"

Play nice
Includes praising the builder for their amazing (or maybe not so amazing) building skills, being overly-friendly, boasting about how good one is at building and variations. If the builder likes you, they might just help you.

Pros


 * Acting required. Better acting = higher chance.

Cons


 * In reality will only work on toddlers that feel bad for you.

Common Quotes:


 * "Wow I like your build :D"
 * "Remember me!!!" - A random your friend helped three days ago
 * "Hey can I please help with your build I promise I won't kill" - Somebody with the full intention of killing the builder

Platform bow
A pretty hard to pull off and uncommon technique that requires actual usage of the brain. Requires one person having the Platform Bow gamepass and another having the Race the Sunset gamepass, or one person having both and dropping their bow. The person with the Race the Sunset gear jumps into the air and opens the game. The other uses their bow to shoot them. The Race the Sunset holder closes the game, lands on the platform, jumps again and continues until they reach the island.

Pros


 * No physiological effort, so you can rest easy knowing you haven't ruined the trust of a 8 year old kid.
 * No wasted time. You can also sleep easy knowing you haven't begged one person to help you for half an hour only for then to leave because they had homework, all your time is dedicated to something that isn't a gamble.

Cons


 * Skill required.
 * Friends required.
 * Robux required.
 * If the platform's too small, you'll fall.
 * Slow and tedious; if there's a builder they will probably kill you.
 * Only worth doing if the spawn is close to the gear island.

Common Quotes:


 * "OMG WHY DIDNT U SHOOT"
 * "Give me the bow NOW"

Hat jump or Gear jump
A uncommon but deadly technique where one wears a bunch of hats and then keeps jumping on their own hats higher and higher into the sky. I honestly don't even know how to do it. Sometimes used with the disguise watch gamepass, since the gear gives the player lots of hats. This can also be replicated with gears but it's even rarer and harder to do although you get the gear back for every jump. I have a bug that makes it so hats don't fall, they just move further from your body but still stay attached to it and that makes it impossible.

Tutorial: position character facing the gear island, position mouse directly over "drop hat" in the bottom right corner then click and jump. Do it until you get the timing right.

Pros


 * Very effective if you figure out how to do it, it's literally doing the same thing over and over again.
 * Fast.

Cons


 * How in the heck do you learn how to do this?
 * If the spawn is far away then it's not worth doing it.
 * Need robux for the gear jump, or a nice builder who put gear spawners on the spawn island.

Common Quotes:


 * "Bruh" - Everyone who was using the Wait It Out technique mentioned above when somebody hat-jumped to the gear island so now they have to leave
 * "How you do that"

Using Teleporters
This way of obtaining access to the gear island is very cheap and efficient to do, it requires the Race the Sunset gamepass. quickly clicking or spamming the gear can teleport you to a secret room. Some abusers hide carpets and or teleport blocks around the area, sometimes on the roof. Since a lighting update to the game, the secret room is very dark and hard to see in.

Pros


 * Easy to do
 * Fast and efficient

Cons


 * Can easily be spotted and killed


 * Normally deleted after spotted
 * Builder probably hasn't put carpets or teleporters there, because most people don't think of making a safeguard in case they die.

Common Quotes:


 * "OMG HACKER REPORTED!!!!111!!!:"
 * "HACKER"

Glitching over or through walls
This is a very simple way to do it and costs either nothing or very little. This requires the spawn to be right next to or on the island which is very rare. To do this you need to either execute a wall clipping glitch or fly up on a seat someone unfortunately placed there using the race the sunset gamepass. To clip through the wall, use a combination of /e dance 7 and the shift lock switch to slide through the wall, or find a seat and sit on it then keep spamming race the sunset until you're high in the air and drop down on the island.

Pros

 * Going over walls is very simple
 * Going through walls is very discrete especially on a map with lots of clutter and things

Cons

 * You can get caught mid-air and have to jump early resulting in you most likely falling to the void and losing the seat
 * You can miscalculate the jump timing resulting in you losing the seat
 * Race the sunset costs robux
 * Wall clipping is a bit tricky to get right
 * Most people don't use seats

Common quotes:

 * "STOP IT" -The builder when you clip through the wall for the 6502345409th time

Self-security exploit
Sometimes when builder actually have a brain, they are smart enough to place a security measure just in case they die. Which of course is very easy to exploit. To do this you are either going to have to search for it or wait until the builder dies and copy them. Then you can effortlessly get to the other side.

Pros

 * No skill required except for a good eye and luck
 * Feels very rewarding when you crack the code

Cons

 * The builder will be quick to replace the security system after they die specifically for people like you.
 * Others will also follow you and now you have a train going after you.
 * Sometimes it's hard to find.

Common quotes:

 * "WHERE"


 * "How did you figure it out?????"
 * "This is really hard man"

Renting a private server
Usually, when you obtain the legendary Mom’s Credit Card, you can buy a private server for 10 robux a month. This requires no skill and can be a portal for infinite servers, at the cost of your bank account.

Pros

 * Easy to do, no server jumping needed
 * No spamming in chat, complete peace
 * Get access to a server with no wait time
 * Great place to practice and chill. No worries of people escaping.

Cons:

 * Costs 10 R$ monthly.
 * Builds reset when you leave
 * No one to farm/test on.
 * Lonely.

Common Quotes:

 * Can I join your server?

Blocking
Blocking is an extremely powerful tecnique so don't share it too much. So here's how to do it: clear your block list in the settings menu under privacy, press the play button, join a server and block either the first person on the list or the Builder if you can figure out who it is (blocking the builder is recommended because they will probably be the last to leave) and then leave. Repeat until it says Waiting for server, rush to the f3x so you can move the spawn out and enjoy. This works because blocking people prevents you from being in a server with them unless you puprosefully join their specific server.

Pros

 * Most reliable method, will always work.

Cons

 * Might cause all the servers to be just one person, making this technique exponentially harder as more people use it.
 * You can only block 50 at a time, you have to remove all blocked users regularly and if you have people you actually want blocked on that list it'll be harder to try and avoid clicking them every time you're clearing it.
 * If you forget your PIN like i did you can't unblock anymore and will be stuck at 50 not able to do the technique.

Common quotes

 * "Hey didn't i see you in that other server?"

Exploit their fear
Sometimes, with good acting, you can make someone believe there is another person at gear island. Tell thim it is hard to explain their location as they are moving fast and invisible. There is about a 10-30% chance per person that they will fall for it. (i have no idea what the original writer wants you to do next, but since they forgot to add it here's what i think) Then you ask them for a carpet so you can "go over and kill them" but in reality just kill the person who helped you and any other people with gears.

Pros

 * High success rate
 * Very easy

Cons

 * They wont trust you afterwards
