Two currencies
Progression guides split the shops this way:
- Screws buy killers and items, and they are also described as the currency that upgrades perks you already unlocked.
- Emblems buy perks. An October 9, 2026 guide says each perk costs 250 Emblems, counts 38 survivor perks and 10 killer perks, and therefore totals 12,000 Emblems to own every listed perk. The same guide says Emblem bundles from 100 to 2,000 can be bought with Robux.
Payouts are described as performance-based. Survivors are told they earn more by repairing, unhooking, healing, and escaping. Killers are told they earn more by hooking and stopping generators. Leaving early is described as the reliable way to earn less. There is no published flat Screws-per-match number here, so this site does not invent one.
Reported killer prices
These Screw prices are repeated in 2026 shop roundups. Confirm them in the lobby.
| Killer | Reported Screws |
|---|---|
| The Slasher | Free |
| The Stalker | 7,500 |
| The Hidden | 8,000 (one comment said 8,500) |
| The Masked | 8,000 |
| The Killer | 8,500 |
| The Abysswalker | 8,500 |
| The Veil | 8,500 |
| The Cure | 15,000 |
One May 16, 2026 article printed 1,500 Screws for The Cure. Later guides and the killer's own pages say 15,000. Use 15,000 unless your shop shows otherwise.
Item prices in a July 2026 list put Bandage at 3,500, Adrenaline Shot at 5,000, Parrying Dagger at 7,000, and Twist of Fate at 7,500. An October 2026 overview only gives a range of about 3,000 to 12,000 Screws and says you bring one item. Prefer the price on the item card.
Buy order for a new account
- Play The Slasher and learn the match. The killer costs nothing.
- Buy one survivor perk whose tooltip you can explain, such as Eyes of Heaven if you still get lost, or Flow State if you already know the loops.
- Buy one item you will actually use. Bandage and Motion Tracker solve solo healing and stealth ambushes. The Parrying Dagger is called the strongest item only after you can time it.
- Save Screws for a second killer whose job you want. Do not skip straight to The Cure unless you already like managing zones and extra units.
The Screws calculator only subtracts. Type the live shop price and your balance. It does not tell you how many matches you need.
