I’ll be honest—I didn’t expect Acron: Attack of the Squirrels to eat up this much of my free time, but once you’re in, you’re in. There’s just something chaotic and brilliantly dumb (in the best way) about squirrels trying to outwit a VR-controlled tree while flinging themselves into certain doom to grab golden acorns.
Now, if you’re like me, you’re always on the lookout for a slight edge—maybe a sneaky unlock, maybe a ridiculous cosmetic squirrel hat. And in 2026, that edge often comes in the form of mobile codes. But finding working ones? That’s a whole other acorn pile.
So, I pulled together everything I could find—legit codes, how to redeem them, what used to work, and even a few tips I’ve learned while losing (and occasionally winning) countless matches.
What Is Acron: Attack of the Squirrels?
It’s asymmetric multiplayer madness, plain and simple. One VR player becomes the “tree”—armed with throwable objects, root rage, and a godlike view of the battlefield. The mobile players? They’re squirrels. Four of ‘em. Each one a different kind of chaos gremlin with one job: steal the golden acorns and get out alive.
Here’s what sets Acron apart:
- Cross-platform chaos: One VR headset vs. up to four mobile players (iOS + Android). I usually play squirrels on my phone, but I’ve tried both.
- Character strategy: Zip’s my go-to—fast, slippery, hard to hit. But I’ve seen Doug ruin a tree’s day with his tanky distractions.
- Popular among casual US gamers: Especially those with an Oculus Quest 2 or Meta Quest 3. It’s the kind of game that gets passed around at cookouts or family gatherings.
Available now on Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Active Acron Mobile Codes for 2026
Okay, here’s what actually works as of February 2026. These have all been sourced directly from official Resolution Games social posts, Discord, and timed events. I verified them myself.
| Code | Reward | Expires | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUTTY2026 | 300 acorn points | Mar 31, 2026 | Acron Twitter |
| CHUNKLOVE | Exclusive Chunk Valentine skin | Feb 20, 2026 | Acron Discord Server |
| VRSLINGER | Tree power-up cooldown reduction (1 match) | Apr 15, 2026 | [In-game event banner] |
| SPRINGNUTS | Free skin + 200 points | May 1, 2026 | [Seasonal patch notes] |
Note: These codes are mobile-only, meaning you enter them through your iOS or Android app—not in VR.
Honestly, CHUNKLOVE is the one I’m rocking right now. It’s dumb and adorable—he wears heart glasses and yells “For love!” every time he dashes.
How to Redeem Codes on Mobile
I’ve had a few friends fumble this part, so here’s exactly how it works (I tested on both iPhone and Android):
- Open Acron on your phone
- Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to access Settings
- Select “Redeem Code” from the list
- Type in your code exactly (yes, it’s case-sensitive)
- Hit Confirm and wait for the confirmation popup
- If it doesn’t work, check your internet connection or app version
Still stuck? There’s a support form that’s surprisingly fast to respond (within 48 hours for me).
Troubles I’ve had? Once, I didn’t update my app and the code wouldn’t go through. Another time, it just cached an old screen. Restart fixed it.
Expired Codes & What They Gave
Now, if you’re wondering what you missed, here’s a small taste of past drops that made the rounds:
| Expired Code | Reward | Event |
|---|---|---|
| FALLFRENZY | Leaf-themed squirrel skin | Autumn 2025 |
| FIRECRACKNUTS | 4th of July acorn bomb skin | July 2025 |
| BLACKNUTDAY | 500 acorns + 1 rare boost | Black Friday 2025 |
| TRICKORTREE | Pumpkin throwable skin (Tree) | Halloween 2025 |
I still regret missing FIRECRACKNUTS—that skin had literal fireworks. Word is, some of these will rotate back in for the 2026 anniversary event.
Best Tips for Playing as a Squirrel
I’ve played over 100 squirrel matches. Here’s what’s worked (and what’s gotten me yeeted across the map).
- Choose Zip for speed runs. He’s slippery, perfect for dodging.
- Chunk makes a great distraction. If someone runs with Chunk while Zip sneaks around—solid combo.
- Stick together early. Trees can’t track four squirrels well if you move in pairs or fakeouts.
- Use nut shields wisely—especially on approach.
- Rotate lanes. Predictable pathing gets punished hard.
In my opinion, squirrel wins depend less on speed, more on misdirection. Make the tree panic, and you’ve already won half the fight.
Best Tips for Playing as the Tree
When I hop into VR (I use a Quest 2), everything feels slower—but more powerful.
Here’s what’s helped me:
- Start with high ground throws—toss upward, then curve.
- Watch cooldowns. I made the mistake of spamming early and getting overwhelmed.
- Prioritize Zip. If he gets past you once, he’ll do it again.
- Zone control is key. Don’t defend the acorns—defend the paths to them.
- Use haptics to “feel” the throw. Not joking—it actually helped my accuracy.
The more you play, the more you’ll start feeling like a tree deity with good wrist flicks.
Exclusive US-Based Game Events & Codes
So far, the best codes have come from US-tied events. Here’s what I’ve seen:
- July 4th 2025: Firecracker acorn skins (code: FIRECRACKNUTS)
- Thanksgiving Drops: Turkey hat cosmetic + food-themed power-up
- Twitch US-only Drops: Partnered streams giving away acorn bundles
- Red Bull x Acron collab: Limited-time tree energy skin (I missed it. Still bitter.)
If you’re in the US, keep an eye out around major holidays and promotions. That’s when the big code drops hit first.
When New Acron Codes Are Released
From what I’ve tracked, new codes tend to drop:
- At the start of new seasons (Spring, Summer, etc.)
- During major in-game events or patch updates
- Via the Acron Discord server and Twitter
Want to catch ‘em before they expire? Here’s what I do:
- Join the Acron Discord and turn on announcements
- Follow @ResolutionGames on Twitter
- Opt into in-game notifications in the Settings tab
- Skim Reddit and r/OculusQuest during holidays—someone always leaks early
Troubleshooting Code Issues
I’ve hit a few snags trying to redeem codes, especially after app updates.
Common problems:
- “Invalid Code”: Usually means a typo or code has expired
- No rewards showing up: Restart the app; rewards can lag
- Redeem button missing: Update your app version
- Redemption crashes app: Clear cached data (Settings > Storage)
Still no luck? Send a support ticket. They’ve helped me recover a missing cosmetic once—it just vanished after an update.
Join the US Gaming Community
If you want to play smarter—not just harder—find a crew. I’ve learned more from watching Twitch and Discord chats than any guide.
My go-to places:
- r/OculusQuest – Great for VR-specific tree tips
- Twitch US streamers – Look up “acron attack of the squirrels” filters
- Discord USA – Find teammates who actually coordinate
- Local events via Meetup Gaming USA – Yep, people still LAN this game at indie arcades
Don’t underestimate what a smart team can pull off. I once saw a coordinated 4-squirrel ambush that had the tree throwing acorns in every direction like a confused piñata.
Final Thoughts
Is chasing codes worth it? Yeah—for me, it keeps the game fresh. You never know what ridiculous squirrel skin they’ll drop next. But more than that, it’s a way to stay part of the weirdo, nut-stealing, VR-flinging, acorn-chucking community that somehow makes Acron feel both chaotic and personal.
If you’re still reading this… you probably care about the game like I do. And if that’s true, I’ll just say this: get the codes while you can, play with friends, and never trust a squirrel with a plan.
