Roblox Mini War hides five red buttons across its map, and each one triggers an NPC that hands over a secret code for free gems. The buttons don’t render until players walk right up to them, so a lot of squads waste time scanning the coastline from a distance. This guide breaks down every button location, the fastest route to each one, and how to redeem the codes once collected.

What the Red Buttons actually do in Mini War
Pressing a red button doesn’t drop gems directly into the player’s balance. It spawns an NPC nearby instead. Players then interact with that NPC to receive a secret redemption code, which gets entered through the in-game Shop to claim the gems.
The buttons only load in at short range. Players staring at the correct area from far away will often see nothing until they close the distance.
All five Red Buttons locations in Mini War
The central base and the Shop work as the two anchor points for reaching every button. Four of the five sit along the coastline, and the fifth is tucked inside the main base itself.
Button 1: Central base, between the two towers
This is the simplest one to grab. Players head to the central base, the largest structure on the map, then check the left side of the main road. The button sits directly between the two towers there.
Button 2: Past the southern oil rig
This button sits almost outside the playable map. From the central base, players walk south until they reach the water, then swim toward the oil rig. The button appears at the far edge past the rig. If it doesn’t spawn on the south side, the matching north edge of the map holds a second possible location.
Button 3: Along the beach past the Shop teleport
Players press the Buy button to teleport to the Shop, then turn around and walk at roughly a 45-degree angle toward the ocean. That path drops onto a coastal beach. Following the shoreline to its far end reveals the button, though it stays invisible until players are almost standing on top of it.
Button 4: Behind the Shop, left along the coast
Another Shop teleport gets players close to this one. After using the Buy button, players walk behind the Shop building to reach the beach, then head left along the coastline. The button sits hidden between two raised rock-like terrain formations.
Button 5: Underneath the oil rig
The final button hides beneath the same oil rig used to reach Button 2. Players check directly underneath that structure first. If it’s not there, the oil rig on the northern side of the map holds the alternate spawn point.
Mini War Red Button Locations at a Glance
| Button | Location |
|---|---|
| 1 | Central base, between the two towers on the left of the road |
| 2 | South of the base, past the oil rig at the water’s edge (or the north edge) |
| 3 | Far end of the beach, reached via a 45-degree walk from the Shop |
| 4 | Behind the Shop, left along the coast between two rock formations |
| 5 | Underneath the southern oil rig, or the northern rig as a backup |
How to redeem the secret codes
Players need to complete a few extra steps after pressing each button before the gems actually land in their account.
- Press the red button to spawn its NPC, then walk over and interact with it to receive the secret code.
- Open the Mini War Shop menu and scroll down to the code redemption box.
- Type the code exactly as the NPC provided it and hit redeem, since Mini War codes are case sensitive and won’t work if even one character is off.
The gem counter at the top of the screen updates immediately once a code goes through, which makes it easy to confirm the redemption worked.
Tips for finding every button faster
Grouping the search by area saves the most time. Buttons 2 and 5 both sit near the oil rigs, so players can collect them in the same trip out to the water. Buttons 3 and 4 are both reachable through the Shop teleport, which cuts out the need to walk across the entire map.
Since some buttons alternate between the northern and southern side of the map, checking both oil rigs before giving up on a spot avoids unnecessary backtracking.
