Currencies
ANKOU has several currencies, which can’t be swapped for one another (except Ankou Coins, which buy Moon Nectar): points are spent during the match, everything else carries over from one match to the next.
Overview
| Currency | Where it lives | How to earn it | What it’s for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Points | One match | Hitting and killing Drowned, rebuilding barriers… | Doors, weapons, perks, Mystery Box, Forge of Ys |
| Ankou Coins | Your account | Challenges, achievements, Battle Pass, radio contracts; shop | Premium pass, pass tiers, Moon Nectar, skins, bundles, gifts |
| Francs (F) | The Hideout | Extractions (crates, bank, bonus), contracts, daily order | Modules, Workbench recipes, laboratory research |
| Moon Nectar | Your account | Levels, rounds survived, finds, Korrigan’s Still; shop | Megas at the Korrigan’s Workshop |
| Double XP tokens | Your account | Battle Pass, Korrigan, Ossuary and Ankou’s Cart bundles | Player or weapon XP doubled for 30 min or 1 h |
Hideout materials (Scrap, Diving brass, Anaon soul…) are a resource of their own: Loot and materials.
Match points
Points only work in the current match: you start with 500 points, earn more by hitting, killing and rebuilding, and spend them around the map. Everything is explained in Points.
They also count for the Hideout: when you extract, a tenth of your remaining points turns into francs (the bank, Extraction). The Purse from the Hideout loadout gives +1,000 points at the start.
Ankou Coins
ANKOU’s “premium” currency, free by playing and scarce: it rewards goals, not time spent. Earning XP or levels doesn’t give any.
| Source | Coins |
|---|---|
| Daily challenge tier | 15 |
| Weekly challenge tier | 60 |
| Season, event or Easter egg challenge tier | 20 |
| Achievement earned | 25 |
| Guided match finished (once per account) | 25, plus 25 for the “Ankou’s Recruit” achievement |
| Radio contract completed | 25 (38 with Radio set level 3) |
| Prestige | 250 |
| Shop tour (level 9, once per account) | 150 (Levels, ranks and prestige) |
| Battle Pass rewards | depending on the tier (Battle Pass) |
| Shop | Coin packs sold through Discord, the first one counts double (The shop) |
| Thank-you pack | 1,000, once, for players who signed up before November 5, 2026 (on their next login) |
The end-of-match summary breaks down the Coins you earned, line by line. They’re used to:
- unlock a season’s Premium pass and buy pass tiers (Battle Pass);
- buy Moon Nectar, skins, bundles and charms in the shop;
- gift the Premium pass to a friend (Bring your friends).
The Battle Pass opens at level 8 and the Shop at level 9 (see Levels, ranks and prestige); your Coins pile up in the meantime.
Ankou Coins have no monetary value: they can’t be traded, resold or exchanged for money.
Francs
The currency of the Hideout, shown as “12,500 F”.
| Source | Amount |
|---|---|
| Crate searched | 80 to 200 F (in the bag: lost if the match is lost) |
| Extraction bank | remaining points ÷ 10 |
| Extraction bonus | 60 F × rounds played × depth (×1.5 from 15 rounds, ×2.5 from 20) |
| Radio contract | 1,500 to 5,000 F (+50% at Radio set level 3) |
| Daily order | 500 to 900 F, +10% per day of streak (up to +50%) |
| Korrigan Starter Pack | 10,000 F, once |
Francs pay for module works, the Workbench Purse and Keller’s Laboratory research (Modules and augments). They’re good for nothing else: no weapons or perks are bought with francs.
Moon Nectar
Vials the Korrigan distills into Megas, the consumable gumballs (Korrigan’s Gumballs, Moon Nectar and the Korrigan’s Workshop).
| Source | Vials |
|---|---|
| New account | 3 |
| Player level gained (Master of Ys included) | 1 per level |
| Rounds survived in a match | 1 per 10 rounds |
| End-of-match find | a chance of 1 vial, from 5 minutes of play, rising to 60% after 40 minutes |
| Prestige | 5 |
| Squad bonus | +5% per friend present, up to +15% (Bring your friends) |
| Korrigan’s Still (Hideout) | 1 to 3 per day, even offline (Modules and augments) |
| A recruit’s welcome pack | 10 |
| Shop | Vial (3) 100 Coins, Flask (10) 300 Coins, Demijohn (30) 800 Coins |
| Korrigan Starter Pack | 30 |
A 20-round match yields about 3 to 5 vials. Nectar is spent at the Korrigan’s Workshop: the Retort (1 vial → 3 Megas), the Cauldron (4 vials → 3 Rare or Ultra-Rare Megas), the Great Still (10 vials → 3 Ultra-Rare Megas). The last two machines are rebuilt at the Hideout (Modules and augments).
Double XP tokens
| Token | Effect |
|---|---|
| Double XP — 30 min / 1h | Player XP doubled (and so pass XP) for 30 minutes or one hour of play |
| Double Weapon XP — 30 min / 1h | Weapon XP doubled for 30 minutes or one hour of play |
They’re earned in the Battle Pass, in the Korrigan Starter Pack, in the Ossuary Pack, in The Ankou’s Cart and at the end of some guided tours (Levels, ranks and prestige), and activated from the Battle Pass screen. Time only runs while you play.
Tips
- Ankou Coins: weekly challenges (60 per tier) and radio contracts are the most generous regular sources. Playing two evenings a week, expect about 400 Coins a week outside the Battle Pass, enough for a Premium pass in two to three weeks.
- Francs: the extraction bonus is the biggest source; extracting at round 20 is worth five times round 10.
- Moon Nectar: build the Still early and remember to collect, its reserve caps at 2, 4 or 6 vials.
- To buy Nectar with Coins, the Demijohn is the best deal (about 27 Coins per vial versus 33 for the Vial).
