Currency

Currency is a core mechanic in Pressure, used to buy items in Shops.

Overview

Currency is available in three types: Research, Kroner and Tokens.

Research

Research is a type of currency exchanged for items in Sebastian's Shop. It is obtainable by looting around the Hadal Blacksite. Research can appear as collectible items in item spots with varying values.

Types of Research

• USB - 5 Research
• Document - 10 Research
• 3 USBs - 15 Research
• Folder + 3 USBs - 25 Research
• Blue DNA + USB - 50 Research
• Yellow DNA + Document + 2 USBs - 100 Research
• Red DNA + Purple & White DNA + Document + 3 USBs - 200 Research
• Forbidden Box - 500 Research

Kroner

Kroner are a type of currency used to buy items in the Pre-Round Shop and for purchasing Cosmetics. Kroner can be obtained by progressing through the Hadal Blacksite, with it being rewarded upon death or upon escaping the Blacksite. Kroner can also be obtained through Codes and bought directly with Robux through the Currency Shop in the Submarine Bay.

If the player dies and chooses to revive during a run, all actions that would've counted towards earning Kroner up until that point are forgotten.

Tokens

Ferryman Tokens, or simply Tokens, are a type of currency used to revive after death. Tokens can be bought with Kroner in the Submarine Bay. Tokens can also be acquired through Codes.

Tokens may only be used once in a run to revive, the second revive must be purchased with Robux.

Trivia

• Before release, Kroner was previously only called Credits.
  • Players would also have 400 Credits at the start of every run.
• Kroner shares its name with the Norwegian Kroner.
  • The in-game depiction of Kroner is almost identical to the Danish 1 and 2 Kroner coins.
• Research represents the "loose assets" the players were instructed to retrieve.
• You can have a negative amount of Kroner if you use the code "Gullible", which gives -300 Kroner.
• Progressing through rooms gives a maximum of 110 Kroner, even though there are more than 110 rooms.
• Tokens are a canonical method of revival, although typically not given to EXR-P as they are "expendable," and the tokens are in a limited supply.
• The forbidden box players can pick up for Research has the same engravings as the Necrobloxicon's cube.
  • Even though the collectible cube and the one in the Necrobloxicon seem to be the same, the collectible cube will always spawn as a yellow color.
