Havoc Hotel 3 Tips

Understanding Prestige and Prestiging​

Prestiging is a long-term progression reset that trades short-term power for stronger future runs.

What prestige resets​

When you prestige, these reset:

  • Coins
  • Cash on hand
  • Power-ups
  • Weapon class unlock access

What prestige keeps​

These do not reset:

  • All soap already invested in weapon classes
  • Your long-term prestige count and its scaling bonuses

Even though weapon classes lock again after prestige, the soap you already invested stays invested. You do not lose the upgrade spending itself—you just need to unlock access to those classes again.

Main benefits of prestiging​

Each prestige improves your long-term progression in several ways:

  • Higher starting killstreak multiplier

    • Starts at x1.0
    • Increases by 0.1 per prestige
    • Caps at x4.6

  • Higher rescue value

    • Rescue rewards are multiplied as prestige increases
    • Exact scaling values still need confirmation

  • Higher soap drop rate

  • More starting diamonds

    • You get 1 standard diamond + 1 additional diamond per prestige
    • Example: at 26 prestige, a new run starts with 27 diamonds

Why players prestige​

The main reason to prestige is to make future runs stronger and faster to rebuild. Early prestige runs can feel weaker because classes relock and short-term resources reset, but over time the scaling bonuses make progression easier.

Common prestige strategy​

  1. Use only the weapon classes you actually want during the current prestige cycle.
  2. Delay opening less important weapon classes until just before prestiging.
  3. Prestige after those final unlocks are done.
  4. Rebuild using your strongest practical loadout, often including strong mythic weapons if available.

Quick reference​

  • Resets: coins, cash on hand, power-ups, weapon unlock access
  • Keeps: invested soap
  • Improves: starting killstreak multiplier, rescue value, soap drops, starting diamonds
  • Tradeoff: weaker short-term reset, stronger long-term progression

Farming Money Efficiently​

The most repeated money advice is to use the AFK zone or build a killstreak and farm later rooms.

Key points​

  • Spend 1 diamond on the unbreakable killstreak booster
  • Build your killstreak in rooms 2 and 13
  • Farm the samurai boss in room 25 or the green aliens in room 29
  • If you are in a lobby with AFK players, their multiplier can boost your farming
  • If you are still early in progression, rescues are a strong starting source of money

Quick reference​

  • Early game: rescues
  • Main farming route: 2 / 13 → 25 or 29
  • Alternate method: AFK zone

Notes​

  • This is community strategy guidance
  • Farming routes depend on whether you can consistently survive to the later rooms
  • Room 2 is commonly used to build an early killstreak before moving deeper into the route

Using AFK Multipliers for Farming​

Players in the AFK zone can increase the value of your farming runs.

Key points​

  • Reported AFK multipliers:
    • 1 player in AFK = x2
    • 2 players = x2.5
    • 3 players = x3
    • 4 players = x3.5
  • The AFK multiplier stacks with your killstreak multiplier
  • Example: a x10 killstreak with 1 AFK player becomes an effective x20 multiplier

Quick reference​

  • More AFK players = better farming multiplier
  • Best combined with unbreakable killstreak farming

Notes​

  • These values are community-reported

Using Rescue Multipliers​

Rescues are useful because they build their own multiplier and can help newer players progress faster.

Key points​

  • Each rescue increases rescue value
  • Rescues are especially helpful early when your weapon progression is limited
  • Daily rewards and seasonal currencies can also help fill gaps while progressing

Quick reference​

  • Best early use: build money while unlocking better weapons
  • Good pairing: rescues plus later-room farming

Understanding Quantity Shorthand​

HH3 uses shorthand notation to display large Coin$ values in a shorter format.

Key points​

  • 1,000 = 1K
  • 1,000,000 = 1M
  • 1,000,000,000 = 1B
  • The notation continues upward by powers of 1,000
  • Some displays also use exponent-style shorthand with e values

Quick reference​

  • K = thousand
  • M = million
  • B = billion
  • T = trillion
  • P = quadrillion
  • E = quintillion

Notes​

  • This notation is used to make very large Coin$ amounts easier to read
  • The extended e notation is useful when reading very large economy values, upgrades, or rewards
