Ad Events

Ad Events are a major feature of Scrap Clicker 2, Scrap Clicker, and Scrap Collector. They give the player bonuses which can be very useful to speed progression. Upon tapping on the Ad Crown, a window will pop up informing the player of the effect to be awarded for watching an ad and the player will be given three options:
 * Tapping the X button will allow the player to watch the ad later and get the same effect.
 * Tapping the No button will get rid of the Ad Crown and the game will give the player a new Ad Crown with a different effect in 25 seconds
 * Tapping the Yes button will play an ad; if the player completes the ad's requirements, the player will be awarded the specified bonus and will not receive Ad Crowns until after the bonus is over.

When an ad is ready, the player will see an Ad Crown to the right of their Magnet count.

List of Events
Below lists all Ad events in Scrap Clicker 2 ,in the order they appear in the change event dialog.

Auto Merger
Makes the system do merges for you for 10 minutes.

With Scrap upgrade "Faster Barrels" maxed and "Doubled Barrel" at Level 50, this event can do around 450 merges. It is the best event when you are unable to focus on the game, as it can provide a slow stream of Magnets and better Barrels with the merges done.

Crazy Storm
Summons around 100 storm magnets from multiple directions.

This event is a good source of magnets early on, before merging becomes a better source. Even then, it's the best event for the tasks "Collect items in storms" and "Activate Ad Events".

Note that this Event cannot be combined with Combine Tokens.

x100 Bricks
Multiplies brick production by x100 for 1 minute.

This event is unlocked at x15 stars, together with Bricks. Though this event can give you 100 minutes of brick production, it's pretty much always easy to just get more multipliers for bricks. Only use this for the task "Activate Ad Events".

More Magnets
Multiplies Magnet production by x2 for 10 minutes.

Before unlocking the event "Faster Level Ups" at x15 stars, this can be the best way to earn magnets without activating the faster paced "Faster Barrels" depending on the number of magnets Level Ups give you. Alternatively, this event can be used directly before getting a very high level or a Storm for a bigger burst of magnets.

More Scrap
Multiplies Scrap production by x100 for 1 minute.

This event gives you 100 minutes of Scrap production. During early-game or when you are far into a long run, where Scrap can't be earned easily, this event can help the player purchase more upgrades or level up their Scrapyard. You can also use this for the task "Activate Ad Events".

Faster Barrels
Multiplies barrel spawning speed by x10 for 10 minutes.

This event can give you a maximum of 10x boost for merges (depending on your merging speed), and you can get many levels and Magnets along the way. Many tasks can be done with this event, and it is also better than "More Fragments" at farming Star Fragments if you can convert fast enough. It is therefore the best event for active play.

Faster Level Up
Multiplies level gaining speed by x3 for 10 minutes.

This event is unlocked at x15 stars. After unlocking this event, it is better than "More Magnets" at earning magnets if you don't feel like merging with the event "Faster Barrels", which requires a more active playstyle.

More Fragments
Multiplies Star Fragments production by x5 for 5 minutes.

This event is unlocked with a Tree upgrade at x125 stars. It can be useful for earning star fragments if you don't feel like converting with the event "Faster Barrels", which requires rapid tapping and a more active playstyle.

Change Tokens
Available at x20 stars, Change Token is a currency earned through Team Challenges and Quests. Players with Change Tokens can change the event at will, removing the need to press "No" repeatedly until the desired bonus is offered. Some quests even requires you to use these.

Combine Tokens
Available at x30 stars, Change Token is a currency earned through Global Challenges and Quests. Players with Combine Tokens can combine two different events, making the boost stronger.

Though it may not feel like it, the orders for the ads are determined. They are listed below, Feel free to copy this list. Events are skipped if locked.

The number of times each events appeared in the list are: AM x9, FB x4, CS x3, FLU x3, MB x2, MM x2, MS x2, MF x2, for a total of 27 events per cycle. If you thought Auto Mergers appeared quite frequently this is why.

I am not getting any ad crowns.
One of the biggest problem in Scrap Clicker 2 is that sometimes you won't get any ad crowns. It's the most reported in the Discord Server.

There are several ways which might help, which can be tried when no ads appeared for a while, but please note that it's also possible that no ads are available for you and waiting is the only option.


 * Close and reopen the game
 * Restart your phone
 * For Android users, you can also:
 * Clear App Cache (Not App Data!!!)
 * Reset Ad ID (Go to settings, google, ads, reset advertising ID)

In Scrap Clicker
Scrap Clicker has only one Ad Event: x5 Scrap for 1 hour. When away from the game, the timer still counts down.

Trivia

 * From 3.3 to 3.8, there was a why ads screen instead of the Ad Tokens explaining why ads are needed.
