Ability notes

Lobby Gems unlock and upgrade kits. Mid-run Cash pays G and X. Ultimate Q charges from roughly 100 kills. Medic Code Blue is the team heal ultimate, not the lobby CODES button.

  • Classes replace the G, X, and Q skill set. Gem prices unlock the kit in the lobby. G and X spend Cash mid-run. Q spends the Ultimate kill charge (~100 monkeys), not Cash.
  • After unlock, each skill can be upgraded with Gems. Later levels cost more than the previous one.
  • Survivor tutorial Grenade upgrade is free and raises damage 100 → 115 (area 12 → 13). Later Grenade levels cost 150, 500, 1,500, then 2,500 Gems.
  • Barricade lobby upgrades cost 150 then 350 Gems for the first two levels (500 Gems total). Mid-run placement cash rises far above the panel base of 50.
  • Medic Code Blue is the class ultimate, not the lobby CODES redeem panel.
  • Engineer Repair is free (about 20 HP restored, 0.65s swing). Place turrets where the squad can keep monkeys off the pad.
  • Outlaw comes with the Gunslinger Bundle (about 899 Robux) alongside Dead Man's Hand and about 50,000 Gems. Read the live shop card for the current package.
