Inmates spend cash. Corrections spends paychecks. Robux passes are a third wallet and cannot be bought with either.
Commissary
The yard commissary sits in the corner of the yard by the outdoor basketball court. The old recreational-room shop was removed.
Plastic is listed at 1 money and is the practical buy. It feeds screwdriver, rope, and AK bayonet crafts along with scrap metal. Snacks cover hunger if you skip canteen. A cookie, added in a winter update, restores about 5 stamina per bite. Bananas, tacos, nachos, and turkey legs show up as food; turkey legs cannot be dropped once held. Gauze stops bleeding and restores health. The sign prop can appear in the shop UI but still requires the 101 Robux Sign pass.
A riot shield model on the commissary roof is not pickupable. It is an unreleased prop.
How inmates earn the cash
Kitchen duty and laundry duty are level 0. Clock in, do the station, clock out. Both pay cash and XP. Launch laundry payouts were reported as oversized. Trash cans can also drop small cash while you hunt cards.
There is no published exchange rate from inmate cash to a paycheck, and civilians or escapees cannot buy armory attachments. Escapees steal what the armory vent allows.
Officer paychecks
DoC and law enforcement accrue a salary. Ending a shift totals damage dealt, base pay, and bonuses. Directors and Assistant Directors can take an early paycheck from the office or the tablet.
Spend it at the armory terminal:
| Slot | Examples named for V3 |
|---|---|
| Optics | Holographic, reflex, iron sights, scopes |
| Muzzle | Silencers on rifles and pistols |
| Underbarrel | Grips, including angled grips |
| Tactical | Lasers (G) and flashlights (T, if that bind is free) |
Showcase primaries that accepted those slots: AK24, M4A1, M4 CQB, UMP45, RM870. Showcase sidearms: G19, M19, 92FS, Python. Prices per attachment are not published, except a launch bug that showed a placeholder named Air at 10,000 cash. If the menu freezes, the reported workaround is a character reset and a fresh locker pull.
Heavier vests slow you down. A sight does not remove that penalty.
Robux passes
| Pass | Price | What the listing says |
|---|---|---|
| Radio | 80 | Audio tool. Old developer-product buyers keep it. |
| Sign | 101 | Handheld sign. Old buyers keep it. |
| Private Server + | 400 | Fork3X save and load. The listing says the price may change. |
Only the private-server owner needs Private Server +. Guests use the host's pass. Donators and approved private-server communities are listed as getting save and load without buying it. A Roblox listing snapshot also marked VIP servers as not allowed. Those two facts conflict. Read the live store before you pay.
Donator is not a gamepass. It is 500 Robux through the in-game donate menu, then /claim in the community server's bot channel. The role can take up to 24 hours. Outfit commands were widely reported as broken on the V3 launch.
