Sword Hunter Pets: How to Get Them and What They Do

Quick answer

Pets in Sword Hunter are companions that walk with your hunter while you hunt. They come from two places — eggs you hatch and creatures you catch in the world with the E Catch prompt — and they increase your stats, helping you defeat enemies more easily.

• The core loop is hunt monsters, convert loot to cash, merge swords at your base, hatch or catch pets, and leave blades collecting while you are offline. It has been the same since the July 31, 2026 launch.
• Pets are not a paid requirement: a fox or wolf is extra power and extra company on a 12-player island. Gamepasses can speed pets or cash, but the early-game plan does not require Robux.
• The game's own listing frames the feature as "Hatch and collect powerful Pets" and tells players to explore new areas, defeat stronger Monsters, collect rare Pets, and become more powerful.

Hatching eggs: where eggs come from and how hatching works

Hatching is one of the two core acquisition routes, and eggs reach you through at least three channels:

• Monster drops. Slime kills produce eggs — "attack to get an egg" appears in recorded play, and one player finally got an egg from those slimes.
• Promo codes. Several codes award pet eggs outright (table below).
• A group-reward gift box. An in-world gift box grants a free rainbow egg for liking the game, favoring the game, and joining the Roblox group.

The flow itself is simple: obtain the egg, then hatch it — an egg gives you a chance to hatch pets that can help during your adventures. Descriptions of the hatch presentation differ slightly: eggs are described as being placed into incubators where they gestate until they are ready, after which the hatched pet is claimed, while recorded play shows in-place hatch timers instead. Watch how your current egg presents its timer in-game.

Observed wait times vary sharply by egg. A first slime egg needed about 10 seconds, while a golden egg seen later takes roughly 10 minutes and first had to be unlocked; one player paid nine Robux to hatch instantly. Treat those as single-session observations, not fixed values. Results are chance-based: the Rainbow Egg can be hatched to receive a random pet, and observed results include pets such as a sky slime.

Pet egg codes and how to redeem them

Codes are the fastest egg channel. To redeem one: launch Sword Hunter on Roblox, click the Store button on the left side of the screen, find the Enter Code box at the bottom of the Store menu, enter an active code exactly as shown, and click Redeem. The code box was confirmed at the very bottom of the Store in recorded play, where SORRYGUYS redeemed a free egg plus 2 million cash and 2x money.

Comparison

Comparison

Code	Reward
NEWPET	Pet Egg (also listed as Fox Egg)
LIKE1000	Pet Egg + 500 kg Loot
NEW	1 Frog Egg + 2x Money Boost (30 mins)
NEWUPDATE	Gold Wolf Egg + 100K Cash + 100 kg Loot (also listed as Rainbow Egg + 2M Cash)
UPDATE2	Gold Frog Egg + Instant Smelt for 10 minutes + 2M Cash
SECRETGIFT	2x Money + Egg
SORRYGUYS	Egg + 2M Cash + 2x Money + other rewards (reported)

Two of these rewards are currently inconsistent across code lists. NEWPET appears as both a Pet Egg and a Fox Egg, and NEWUPDATE appears as Gold Wolf Egg + 100K Cash + 100 kg Loot in some lists and as Rainbow Egg + 2M Cash in others, with the Rainbow Egg version also listed as inactive. Redeem the code and check the reward popup in-game before counting on a specific egg.

This table is a September 2026 snapshot. A September 23, 2026 update reported four new codes offering Tickets, Eggs, Cash, 2x Money, and other rewards, and codes expire — recheck before relying on any specific code, especially after a major Sword Hunter update.

Catching pets in the world with the E Catch prompt

Catching is the second route, and it runs through the same E key used for attacking. Sword Hunter uses three actions — E, R, and F — for almost everything, and the keyboard or on-screen buttons must cover hunting, catching pets, and swapping blades after a merge. The controls screenshot shows a hunter catching a blue wolf with the E Catch prompt.

Read a silent attack as information: if attack does nothing, you may be facing a catchable pet, or you may be on a pack your current sword cannot hurt. Break from farming for an E Catch whenever a wolf, slime, gorilla, or bird you want appears, and save E for a Catch on the walk into a raid rather than panic-mashing through a boss health bar — the giant raid gorilla boss is not a pet; a gorilla companion is a different creature. These catch behaviors reflect the game as of the September 2026 snapshots, so recheck them after major updates.

What Sword Hunter pets do

Pets increase your stats, helping you defeat enemies more easily. Once an egg is ready, the hatched pet can be claimed, and that pet raises your stats for combat — a pet egg hatches a companion that helps in later fights. Pets are a support layer on the economy rather than a replacement for it: monster farming is the engine under every other Sword Hunter system (hunt, loot drops, loot becomes cash, cash merges swords at base), and pets and offline collection ride on top of that engine.

Pet rarity and progression

Pets progress with play and vary in rarity. In observed gameplay, a pet leveled up each time the player killed something, and pets can be evolved — the player understood evolving to "just increase your tier," which is player-observed behavior, not a documented formula. The same session hatched a B-tier Blair Slime alongside a sky slime, so lettered tiers exist.

Rare spawns are real but thinly documented: Phoenix at 0.01% is described as worth stopping a farm for, and the game's own copy ties rarer pets to area progression — explore new areas, defeat stronger Monsters, collect rare Pets, and become more powerful. There is no complete rarity table or per-pet stat list to point to yet; the circulating pet rankings are a snapshot from official art, not datamined DPS.

A practical pet-acquisition routine for a session

Redeem steps

• Redeem live egg codes.
• Hatch Fox and Rainbow Eggs in a safe spot.
• Farm a tropical island or beach pack with auto-attack on.
• Break for E Catch whenever a wolf, slime, gorilla, or bird you want appears.
• Do not portal into a new area just to pet hunt unless your sword can already survive there.
• Park your sword before you log off so the next session starts with cash, not with a blank island.
