How to Remove Devil Hunter Contracts for Free (March 2026) Full Guide

If you’re stuck with a terrible contract in Devil Hunter, you’re not alone. I’ve seen plenty of players (myself included) lock themselves into a deal that looked cool at first but turned into a headache later. The good news is, you’re not stuck forever – and you don’t always have to spend Robux to fix it.

How contracts work? (and why they’re hard to ditch)
Before we talk about removing contracts, it’s important to understand what you’re actually signing up for.
In Devil Hunter, contracts are agreements between your character (a human) and a devil. You give something up – body parts, lifespan, or other sacrifices – and the devil grants you powerful abilities in return. For example:
- Fox Devil gives you a summon that bites enemies in front of you.
- Future Devil can grant counter attacks and i-frames during specific windows.
- Some contracts require you to sacrifice things like your right eye (accuracy penalty) or arm (different attack animations).
Official and big community guides like Pocket Tactics and IGN also stress that:
- Only humans can take contracts – fiends cannot.
- Breaking a contract normally (without using special items) kills your character and forces a full reset.
- There are “eraser” items like the devil eraser that safely remove your contract and restore body parts.
On top of that, the game’s official updates page clearly states:
- “If favor is too low, you lose your contract”.
That last line is the key to the free removal method.
Devil Hunter: How to Remove Contracts for Free?
Here’s the core idea: instead of paying an NPC or using an item, you use the built‑in contract favor system to “break” the contract in a way that doesn’t kill your character but simply removes it when favor drops too low.
As of the January 7, 2026 update, the patch notes explicitly say:
- “If favor is too low, you lose your contract”.
That means the game itself provides a condition where contracts can be removed without paying Robux – as long as you’re okay with losing favor first.
Important prerequisites before you try this
Before you intentionally lower your contract favor, make sure:
- You’re okay with losing that contract’s abilities.
- You’ve secured or improved favor on any contracts you want to KEEP (more on that later).
- You’re not risking something you care about (e.g., your only good contract).
- You know that dying repeatedly in missions is how favor is lost, based on community guides showing that “the only way to lose favor is to die each death drains it and at zero your contract debuffs or breaks”youtube .
You should also accept that:
- The contract might not disappear the exact moment you hit 0 – the game often updates at the end of the death/mission loop.
- This method uses game mechanics as intended by the developers (patch notes), but it can still feel “messy” compared to a clean NPC payment.
- If you have multiple contracts, you need to be extra careful not to lose ones you wanted to keep.
Step 1: Check your current contract favor
First, understand what you’re working with:
- Open your character/contract UI (usually via phone or menu).
- Find the contract you want to remove.
- Look for its favor or reputation bar (often shown near the devil’s name or icon).
If the bar is:
- High or near max: You’ll need multiple deaths/failed runs to bring it down.
- Already low or slightly negative: You’re close – you might only need a few deaths.
Step 2: Pick a “safe” mission or activity to lose favor in
You don’t want to ruin your entire account’s progress while you’re doing this. Instead:
- Choose a random mission that:
- Doesn’t have high stakes (no ranked PvP, no important raids).
- Spawns in areas where dying doesn’t waste much time (for example, Commercial or Residential districts are commonly used in speed runs and favor farms).
Community guides and videos that explain “how to lose favor” specifically recommend:
- Dying in missions, because each death drains favor, and when favor hits zero your contract debuffs or breaksyoutube .
Step 3: Lose favor intentionally
Here’s the step-by-step:
- Start a mission
- Accept any mission from the mission board or nearby NPC.
- Make sure the mission is relatively easy to enter and quick to restart.
- Take damage and die
- Let enemies damage you and eventually kill you.
- You don’t need to kill anything – the goal is the death, not the win.
- Repeat until favor drops
- Each death reduces favor for your active contract(s)youtube .
- Check your contract favor bar between deaths to see progress.
- You may need 3–10 deaths depending on:
- How high your starting favor is.
- The specific contract and any hidden factors.
- Don’t panic if it feels slow
- Favor loss is not instant – it’s a gradual drain over multiple runs.
- Keep at it until your favor is clearly negative or zero.
Step 4: Confirm the contract has been removed
Once your favor drops low enough:
- The game’s update notes say “If favor is too low, you lose your contract”.
- In practice, that usually means:
- The contract disappears from your active contract list.
- Any passive buffs/debuffs tied to that contract stop applying.
To verify:
- Open your contracts UI.
- Check that the unwanted contract is no longer listed.
- If you still see it, go for a few more deaths until it disappears.
Step 5: Clean up and re‑optimize your setup
After the contract is gone:
- Re‑equip better weapons or abilities that synergize with your remaining contracts.
- If you want a new contract, use a good Devil Hunter beginner or contracts guide to pick one that fits your playstyleofzenandcomputing .
- Keep farming yen/scar resources to buy safe removal items in the future if you’d rather not rely on the favor method every time.
Common mistakes when removing contracts for free
From what I’ve seen in community discussions and my own testing, here are the most common mistakes:
- Not locking in contracts they want to keep
- Since favor loss can affect more than one contract, you can accidentally lose ones you actually like.
- Fix this by:
- Running the missions that build favor for your good contracts.
- Or pausing your free-removal plan until you’re willing to lose all current contracts.
- Trying this in high‑stakes content
- Dying in ranked PvP or major raids just for favor can hurt your rank, reputation, or group.
- Use easy throwaway missions instead.
- Expecting instant results
- You might see your favor hit zero and still keep the contract for one more mission or death.
- Be patient and give the system time to update.
- Confusing “breaking” a contract with “favor loss”
- Breaking a contract without proper tools normally kills your character and resets your stats.
- Losing favor through deaths is the specific safe mechanic mentioned in the patch notes.
What if you have multiple contracts?
If you’re running several contracts and want to drop just one, things get trickier:
- Favor loss might apply across multiple contracts (depending on how the game tracks them).
- Some contracts might share favor or be influenced by the same deaths.
Roonby’s free-removal guide warns that:
- Removing one contract this way can also affect others if their favor is also low.
So, before you start lowering favor:
- Decide which contracts you really care about
- Make a mental or written list: “Keep,” “Maybe,” “Definitely remove.”
- Build favor on the ones you want to keep
- Run missions and play well with those contracts active.
- Get their favor high enough that a few deaths won’t tip them below the threshold.
- Then start losing favor on the unwanted contract
- Use missions where the “bad” contract is the primary one impacting your gameplay.
- Consider temporarily disabling or not using abilities from contracts you want to keep (if possible), so the game doesn’t associate their favor with your deaths.
- Check between deaths
- After every death or two, re-check the favor on all your contracts.
- If the ones you wanted to keep are dropping too much, stop and rebuild favor before continuing.
If this feels too complicated, you might prefer using:
- Contract Swapper NPC (to swap instead of fully remove).
- Eraser Devil items (to reset only one contract without messing with favor).
Paid vs free: All ways to remove contracts in Devil Hunter
Even though this guide focuses on the free method, it’s important that you know every option. This helps you decide if the free route is worth the hassle or if you’d rather save up and pay once.
1) Lose contract favor (free, in-game mechanic)
- Cost: 0 yen, 0 Robux.
- Method: Die repeatedly in missions until your contract favor hits zero or negative.
- Pros:
- Completely free.
- Uses an official mechanic (patch-confirmed).
- Cons:
- Takes time and effort.
- Can affect multiple contracts if you’re not careful.
- Feels “ugly” compared to a clean NPC removal.
Best if: You’re early or mid‑game, don’t want to spend money, and don’t mind a bit of grind.
2) Contract Terminator NPC (paid, Robux)
- Location:
- Public Safety: Floor 0 of Headquarters.
- Yakuza: Inside Yakuza HQ, with their own Contract Terminator, Swapper, and Debuff Spinner.
- Cost: Typically 180 Robux to remove a contract.
- Pros:
- Instant, predictable removal.
- No grinding or favor juggling.
- Cons:
- Costs Robux (real money).
- Doesn’t restore sacrificed body parts.
Best if: You have spare Robux, or you’re late-game and value your time more than grinding.
3) Eraser Devil / devil eraser (paid in-game or via codes)
The Eraser Devil/devil eraser is a special item that:
- Removes your current contract.
- Restores any body parts you sacrificed for it.
Where to get it:
- Black Market vendor behind the Headquarters (accessible via your phone).
- Costs:
- ~300,000 yen, or
- 3 scars, or
- 300 Robux.
- Code drops: Some codes can reward Eraser Devils or similar items, according to major code guides.
Pros:
- Removes contract and brings back sacrificed body parts.
- Can sometimes be obtained “for free” if you get it from a code or grind for yen instead of Robux.
Cons:
- Expensive in terms of grind or Robux.
- Not always in stock at the Black Market; stock refreshes every 15 minutes.
Best if: You sacrificed something important (like an eye or arm) and want both the contract gone and your body back.
4) Wipe Token (full reset)
- What it does: Resets your entire character – stats, progress, and contracts.
- Cost: Around 400,000 yen or ~220 Robux at the Black Market.
- Pros:
- Lets you start completely fresh if your build is a disaster.
- Cons:
- Overkill if you just want to drop one contract.
- You lose everything else, not just the contract.
Best if: You don’t care about your current build and want a do‑over of the entire account.
5) Contract Swapper & Debuff Spinner (alternatives to removal)
These NPCs don’t “delete” a contract but can make a bad contract more manageable:
- Contract Swapper:
- Lets you exchange your current contract for a different one.
- Can be cheaper than full removal and great for experimenting.
- Debuff Spinner:
- Changes or removes certain contract debuffs without losing the contract itself.
- Good when you like the ability but hate the side effects.
Best if: You don’t absolutely need to remove the contract, but want to tweak it or replace it with something better.
Platform-specific notes (PC vs console vs mobile)
While the core mechanics (favor loss, NPCs, Eraser items) are the same across platforms, there are some practical differences:
- PC:
- Easiest to run death loops quickly.
- Keyboard shortcuts (like pressing N for the map) make it fast to navigate to Floor 0 or the Black Market.
- Console:
- Navigation to menus is a bit slower with a controller.
- Combat logging or intentional deaths might take a bit more time due to UI interactions.
- Mobile:
- The Black Market and phone menus are more central to the gameplay (you often use an in‑game phone to access many features).
- Some players find dying in missions faster on mobile if the controls are easier for “throwaway” runs.
Regardless of platform, always make sure you:
- Save important builds/contracts before messing with favor.
- Keep track of yen and Robux so you don’t accidentally overspend.
Community and official resources you should use
Because mechanics like favor, NPCs, and costs can change in future updates, it’s smart to stay connected:
- Official updates and patch notes:
- The Devil Hunter Updates page lists recent changes, including the line “If favor is too low, you lose your contract”.
- Community Discord:
- The official Devil Hunter Discord is where devs and experienced players often share real‑time info and updatesdiscord .
- Trello / Wiki:
- Official Trello and community wikis track quests, NPCs, and contracts, including where to find contract-related NPCs like Contract Terminator and the Black Marketbeebom+1 .
- Reddit:
- There’s a r/DevilHunterRoblox community (even if access can sometimes be limited), where players often post tips and ask questions about contractsreddit .
If you’re ever unsure about a change to the favor system or removal costs, these are the first places I’d check.
Pro strategies to avoid getting trapped by bad contracts
As someone who’s made plenty of bad deals in Devil Hunter, here are my personal rules to avoid needing constant removal:
- Read the sacrifice carefully before accepting
- Contracts can take:
- Body parts (arms, eyes, etc.), which directly change your stats and animations.
- Lifespan or other long‑term penalties.
- If the trade-off looks too punishing, skip it.
- Cross-check with tier lists and guides
- Use contract tier lists and beginner guides to see which contracts are considered S‑tier or A‑tier for your playstyledestructoid+1 .
- If a contract is marked “high risk, low reward,” be very cautious.
- Plan your race and division
- Only humans can take contracts – if you plan to become a fiend later, remember that fiends can’t create new contracts once they transform.
- Certain divisions and builds synergize better with specific contracts (e.g., heavy‑hitting contracts for damage‑focused builds).
- Keep a “budget” for removal
- Always stash some yen or scars, and maybe a small amount of Robux, just in case you ever want to:
- Buy a devil eraser.
- Use the Contract Terminator.
- Grab a Wipe Token for a complete reroll.
- Stay ready with codes
- Some Devil Hunter codes give Eraser Devils or similar items.
- Make it a habit to:
- Check codes regularly on trusted code pages.
- Redeem codes quickly before they expire.
If you follow these habits, you’ll rarely feel forced into a panic removal – and when you do, you’ll have more options available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove a Devil Hunter contract for free?
You can use the in‑game favor system: repeatedly die in missions until your contract favor drops to zero or negative. The official patch notes explicitly state that “If favor is too low, you lose your contract”. This method costs 0 Robux and 0 yen, but it takes time and can affect multiple contracts if you’re not carefulyoutube .
Can I remove a contract without paying Robux?
Yes. Besides the free favor method, you can:
- Farm yen and buy an Eraser Devil from the Black Market (~300,000 yen or 3 scars).
- Watch for codes that give Eraser Devils or similar items.
- Use in-game currencies instead of Robux for some NPCs and items (depending on what’s available).
However, the Contract Terminator NPC specifically requires Robux (around 180 Robux) to remove a contract.
Where is the Contract Terminator NPC?
For regular players (Public Safety):
- Press N to open the map.
- Go to the main Headquarters building.
- Take the elevator and select Floor 0.
- On Floor 0, look for the Contract Terminator among the NPCs.
For Yakuza members:
- Go to Yakuza HQ.
- The Contract Terminator, Contract Swapper, and Debuff Spinner are all available inside the building.
What happens if I break a contract without using a removal method?
According to contract guides like Pocket Tactics:
- Breaking a contract without a proper removal tool causes your character to die permanently and forces a complete stat reset.
- Always use safe methods like:
- Favor loss (as per patch notes).
- Contract Terminator NPC.
- Devil eraser items.
How many deaths does it take to lose a contract for free?
There isn’t a fixed “X deaths” number that applies to everyone. It depends on:
- Your starting favor level.
- How much favor each death drains (which can vary).
Community guides and videos suggest that:
- Each death drains favor, and at zero your contract debuffs or breakyoutube .
- You might need anywhere from a few deaths to 10+ depending on how much favor you had when you started.
Will losing one contract this way remove my other contracts?
It can. Roonby’s free-removal guide warns that:
- Removing a contract via favor can accidentally remove others if their favor is also low.
To avoid this:
- Build up favor on contracts you want to keep first.
- Consider treating the free removal as a “reset all contracts” strategy if you’re okay with losing most of them.
Can I get Eraser Devils for free?
Sometimes, yes:
- Codes can occasionally grant Eraser Devils or similar items.
- You can also farm yen and buy them at the Black Market without spending Robux.
Does the free method work for Yakuza players?
The core favor mechanic (“If favor is too low, you lose your contract”) is a game‑wide rule, not tied to a faction. So in theory:
- Yakuza players can also lose contracts via favor.
However, Yakuza have their own versions of the Contract Terminator and other NPCs inside Yakuza HQ, so they also have easier (paid) paths.
What’s the fastest way to change contracts without starting over?
If you don’t want to lose all your progress:
- Use the Contract Swapper NPC to exchange contracts.
- Use a devil eraser if you want to restore sacrificed body parts and remove a specific contract.
- Use the Debuff Spinner if you like the contract but hate its debuffs.
These options are usually faster and cleaner than grinding down favor.
Conclusion
Removing Devil Hunter contracts for free is entirely possible, but it’s not as “one‑click clean” as paying Robux. By understanding the favor system, strategically choosing which contracts to keep, and knowing when to use paid options like Eraser Devils or Contract Terminator, you can stay in control of your build without feeling locked into bad choices forever.
If you’re new to the game or just want more general help before diving into contracts, I’d recommend starting with a solid beginner guide and NPC overview so you understand races, divisions, and quests.
