Intro — what this post covers
Angry Birds 2 is a popular mobile game by Rovio where you sling birds to smash pig structures and save eggs. Many players search for “cheats” to get gems, energy, or unlimited power-ups. This article explains what those cheats are, why many of them are risky or fake, safer alternatives, and real game tips you can use to improve without breaking rules. I also point to where developers and the community talk about this.
1) What people mean by “Angry Birds 2 cheats”
When players say “cheats” they usually mean one of these things:
-
Online generators / “free gems” sites that claim to add gems to your account. These are often web pages that ask you to enter your username or device and then “generate” gems. Many of these are scams or phishing pages. (wiki.amule.org)
-
Modded APKs or hacked app files that promise unlimited diamonds, lives, or other in-game currency. These are copies of the game changed by third parties. People download them from APK sites. These files can contain malware and break the game’s rules. (LITEAPKS)
-
In-game promo codes or official giveaways. These are real and safe — they come from Rovio or partners and give small rewards. They are not hacks; they’re official promotions. (EarlyGame)
2) Why many “cheats” are unsafe or a bad idea
Here are the main problems with using cheats that are not official:
-
Malware & privacy risk. Modded APKs and “generators” often ask you to download files or give sensitive info. That file can contain viruses, spyware, or adware that harm your phone or steal data. (LITEAPKS)
-
Account ban or penalty. Game developers track unusual activity. Using hacks or modified clients can get your account suspended or banned. Communities have told stories of cheaters being caught and punished. (angrybirdsnest.com)
-
Scams & wasted time. Many “free gems” pages are clickbait. They might ask you to fill surveys or download random apps to “verify” — then you get nothing or risk spam. (wiki.amule.org)
Short version: unofficial cheats often cost you more (in privacy, money, or account access) than the tiny benefit of a few free items.
3) Official ways to get free gems and rewards (safe)
If you want extras without risk, use official and community-safe methods:
-
Promo codes and official events. Rovio and partners sometimes release promo codes, seasonal gifts, or event rewards. These give small but safe boosts. Check official pages and trusted promo lists. (EarlyGame)
-
Daily logins & event rewards. Play daily, complete daily tasks and event challenges to earn gems, feathers, and spells. Over time these add up. (iMore)
-
Watch ads (if available). Many free-to-play games give optional ads in exchange for small rewards — safe and quick.
-
Buy from stores if you choose. Real purchases through the App Store / Play Store are secure. Only buy through official stores.
4) Real tips and strategies to do better in Angry Birds 2 (no cheats)
You can get much farther in the game using skill, strategy, and smart resource use. Here are simple, practical tips:
-
Know your birds and use their abilities well. Each bird has a special skill. Learn which bird is best for wood, stone, or glass. Practice timing your special moves for maximum effect. (Android Central)
-
Use the environment. Knock down supports, trigger falling pieces, or hit TNT to cause chain reactions. Sometimes hitting a structure in the right place does more damage than using a power-up. (Android Central)
-
Save spells and gems for hard levels. Don’t spend valuable resources on easy levels. If a run is going badly, restart early to save items for when they matter most. (iMore)
-
Join a clan or community. Friendly players share tips, help with events, and can trade advice. Communities (forums, Reddit) have level-specific tricks. (Reddit)
-
Practice combo shots. Some levels reward precision and multi-hit combos. Try slow, accurate shots rather than wild flinging. (Android Central)
5) How to tell if a “cheat” site is fake (red flags)
Before you click or download, watch for these warning signs:
-
The site asks for your Rovio/Game Center/Google Play password. (Never give passwords to third parties.)
-
It asks you to download a separate “tool” or APK from an unknown site.
-
It requires you to complete many offers or surveys to “verify” — this is common scam behavior.
-
The domain looks suspicious or has many popups and fake download buttons.
If you see these, don’t proceed. Many reports and scam lists show the same red flags. (wiki.amule.org)
6) If you already used a mod or shady site — what to do next
If you installed a modded APK or used a generator and feel worried:
-
Delete the app and any downloaded files. Remove the mod first.
-
Change passwords for accounts you used on your phone (email, store accounts).
-
Scan your device with a reliable mobile security app from a known vendor (Play Protect on Android can help).
-
Contact support if you think your game account has been compromised. Be honest — developers may help recover accounts if you explain.
These steps reduce damage and help you keep control. (LITEAPKS)
7) Final recommendation — play smart, stay safe
Cheats that promise “unlimited gems” are tempting but risky. If you want to enjoy Angry Birds 2 for the long run:
-
Use official promo codes and events for safe bonuses. (EarlyGame)
-
Use community tips to improve skillful play rather than relying on hacks. (Android Central)
-
Avoid modded APKs and generator sites — they can infect your device or get your account banned. (LITEAPKS)
