Weapon passes
Barrett M82 — 599 Robux
The top-priced weapon pass. Expect a heavy, high-impact option for players who want reach and stopping power when night threats force a fight. Best for fighter playstyles who already understand sound discipline and ammo economy. If you mostly hide and rotate, this is luxury — read stealth first.
Provisional ranking notes live on the weapons tier list. Pre-alpha balance can nerf or buff any gun overnight.
M16A4 — 399 Robux
Mid-high rifle pass for flexible mid-range pressure. Often the “default fighter” buy when you want sustained fire without jumping straight to the M82 price. Pairs well with stamina investment so you can reposition between bursts.
Peacemaker — 249 Robux
Lower-cost weapon entry. Strong value if you only want a reliable fight option while learning maps like Backrooms, Pine Woods, and Redwood Road. Ideal when your Robux budget also needs utility passes.
Utility and economy passes
+2 Hotbar — 129 Robux
Extra hotbar slots sound boring until night hits and you juggle flashlight, weapon, meds, and objective tools. Quality-of-life that helps every playstyle. Often underrated compared to flashy guns.
Bonus Cash 1.5x — 249 Robux
Accelerates the day economy: sell loot, buy gear, recover faster after bad nights. High value for grinders who play long sessions. Less useful if you only hop in for a round or two.
Scrap Insurance — 179 Robux
Softens the pain of losing scrap when a night goes wrong. Great for learners still dying to new threat rotations. Compare with the Recover Lost Items developer product (59 Robux per use) — insurance is ongoing; recover is situational.
Stamina Boost — 79 Robux
Cheap mobility. Helps kite, rotate buildings, and outrun pressure whether you fight or flee. Excellent first purchase for new survivors following Getting Started.
Stronger Flashlight — 49 Robux
Lowest price pass. Vision wins nights in dark interiors and wooded maps. Almost always sensible if you dislike dying to things you never saw. Pair with the night prep checklist.
Developer products (not passes, but related)
The store also sells cash packs in roughly the 250–3000 Robux band, plus:
- Recover Lost Items — 59 Robux
- Reset Objectives — 39 Robux
Use recover when a specific wipe hurts more than another farming day. Reset Objectives is for stuck progress, not a substitute for learning routes. Neither replaces fundamentals on Survive the Night.
Value summary by budget
| Budget feel | Consider first |
|---|---|
| Under ~100 | Stronger Flashlight, Stamina Boost |
| ~100–250 | +2 Hotbar, Scrap Insurance, Peacemaker |
| ~250–400 | Bonus Cash 1.5x or M16A4 |
| ~600+ | Barrett M82 after utilities you actually use |
Stacking every pass is unnecessary. Buy for your map preference and playstyle. Backrooms tight corners reward flashlight and hotbar more than pure sniper fantasy; open woods may favor rifles — see maps tier list.
Pre-alpha spending rules
- Assume balance patches will reshuffle gun feel.
- Prefer permanent QOL (hotbar, stamina, flashlight) before cosmetics of power.
- Do not buy because a script site “requires” a pass.
- Re-read Updates and pre-alpha after shop changes.
- Cross-check rankings on Tier List Hub — all S-tiers here are provisional.

Spend deliberately. In a game about lasting until dawn, the pass that keeps you alive another night beats the pass that only looks loud in the shop menu.
