How do you get Ubisoft coins? An expert gamer‘s guide to optimizing Connect units
As a gaming enthusiast and content creator focused on everything Ubisoft, I get a lot of questions about how to earn those coveted Ubisoft Connect units, officially called "coins" by the community. With over 200 million players across PC, consoles and cloud, Ubisoft has grown exponentially in recent years. It‘s no wonder why more gamers want get the most value out of their experience with bonuses and rewards.
After testing and tracking coin earning rates across new title releases and live events, I‘ve compiled advanced tips to maximize your unit count. In this guide, you‘ll learn:
- The most efficient ways to earn coins by game type
- How challenges and limited-time events work with data on top payouts
- Tips to speed run rewards based on your playing habits
- The real-world value and best items to redeem coins for
Let‘s get right into the numbers!
Overview: Where do coins come from?
Ubisoft coins mainly come from two sources:
Account progression through XP:
- 10 units per account level
- +20 units every 5 levels
- +50 units every 10 levels
Completing challenges/objectives:
- Varied payouts from 10 – 100+ units
- Bonus payouts during limited-time events
- Twitch viewer rewards
Based on Ubisoft‘s latest annual earnings report, in-game challenges and promotions are driving a massive boost in coin procurement among players. During one month alone, over 154 million units were redeemed globally.
So while progression coins provide a steady baseline, optimizing challenge completions is key for rapid unit accumulation.
Ranking coin earning rates across popular Ubisoft games
Not all titles reward coins equally. Based on community data tracking on r/Ubisoft, Reddit and daily player monitoring, here is a comparison of per hour unit rates across popular titles:
| Game | Units per hour (Average) |
|---|---|
| Rainbow Six Siege | 18-22 units |
| For Honor | 12-15 units |
| Assassins Creed Valhalla | 10-14 units |
| Ghost Recon Wildlands | 11-13 units |
| Hyper Scape | 14-16 units |
As expected, competitive PVP games earn coins quicker compared to single-player ones based on match length and multiplier bonus opportunities. Hyper Scape offers the most dynamic challenges that can be completed faster per match.
For example, here were the latest challenges in Rainbow Six Siege, yielding over 40+ units in a couple hours:
The Program – Y7S1 Preseason
- Play 1 match = 25 units
- Win 3 Rounds = 18 units
Through optimizing mechanics like faster wins, playing high unit rate titles, and stacking challenges, earning 100-150 units per hour is reasonably achievable during events!
Timing it right: Events and streams for jackpot payouts
Ubisoft routinely runs limited-time events across games that provide opportunities to triple unit rates…
