Street Fighter 6 has introduced two new modes, Battle Hub and World Tour, which have brought with them a range of new in-game currencies. One of these new currencies is Fighter Coins (FC), which players can purchase with real money to unlock cosmetic and utility items. However, to maintain a balanced game environment, there are also non-microtransaction ways of obtaining those items. Drive Tickets and Zenny, for example, let players buy costumes and gear to upgrade their Avatars.
To help players get acquainted with all the coins, tickets, and points in Street Fighter 6, this guide provides a comprehensive explanation of all and offers tips for acquiring them quickly.
List of All Currencies in Street Fighter 6
Reputation points included, Street Fighter 6 has four different currencies: Fighter Coin, Drive Ticket, Zenny, and Kudos.
SF6 Currency | How to Get |
Fighter Coin | Microtransaction |
Drive Ticket | Challenges |
Zenny | WT mini-games |
Kudos | Battle Hub matches |
Fighter Coin
Fighter Coin is the primary currency in Street Fighter 6, which unlocks Outfits, Stages, Fighting Passes, Club Slots, and DLC characters. Unfortunately, obtaining FC by playing the game is currently not possible, and the only option available is to purchase add-on bundles.
Players can buy a Fighter Coin for approximately 2 cents. But to get the best value, it's recommended to choose the largest pack, which gives 2,750 coins (55 for every dollar spent).
Here’s the price breakdown:
- 250 Fighter Coins = $6.99.
- 610 Fighter Coins = $11.99.
- 1,250 Fighter Coins = $23.99.
- 2,750 Fighter Coins = $49.99.
While FC can unlock various items, the most efficient use of it is to invest in Yearly Passes or save them for acquiring DLC fighters. When it comes to cosmetics, the Classic Outfits are the best choice to spend Fighter Coins on.
Are Fighter Coins Worth It?
Most cosmetic items can be unlocked using Drive Tickets, making Fighter Coins largely unnecessary. The only justifiable reasons for obtaining Fighter Coins would be to expand Battle Hub Slots or acquire exclusive costumes.
To spend Fighter Coins, players will need to either visit the SF6 Shop from the Multi Menu or talk to Marry Rose, the Hub Goods Shop’s clerk.
Drive Ticket
An alternative to Fighter Coin, Drive Ticket is the main currency in Street Fighter 6’s multiplayer mode, Battle Hub. It is a tradable item that allows for changing Avatars, buying cosmetic items, and unlocking emotes. While there are multiple ways of farming Drive Tickets, the ideal way to get them is by completing Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Challenges.
To access Drive Tickets Challenges, players can navigate to the Rewards section found in the Multi Menu. It's worth noting that these Challenges are not limited to Battle Hub, and players can earn tickets by competing in any of the game's three modes: Battle Hub, World Tour, and Fighting Ground.
Although Drive Tickets offer a free option for unlocking cosmetics and fighting items, they hold less value compared to Fighter Coins. Purchasing an item from the Shop with Drive Tickets, therefore, is considerably more expensive than obtaining it with FC.
Are Drive Tickets Worth It?
It is worth farming Drive Tickets as most Challenges can be completed within a few minutes. However, there are also two potential drawbacks to using Drive Tickets. Firstly, purchasing items with this currency can be significantly pricier. Additionally, there are certain items, such as DLC characters and Club Slots, which are not tradable.
Zenny
In the World Tour mode, Zenny is a currency for buying food, gear, and customizing Avatars. It can be earned by completing main or side quests, looting chests, and exploring hidden parts of the city. However, the most efficient way to farm Zenny is by playing mini-games.
Abigail's Scrap Metal, located south of Metro City, is the ideal spot to play the Scrap Heap mini-game and earn Zenny quickly. The game involves destroying a truck as fast as possible, which can yield up to 15,000 Zenny every two to three minutes.
It is common to find Zenny bags on the roofs of abandoned or parked cars, as well as on building rooftops. Players can also make some extra cash by selling unused items and gear.
Kudos
Although technically not a currency, Kudos is a reputation point earned by playing different characters in the Battle Hub matches. Players are rewarded with a certain amount of Kudos, regardless of whether they win or lose, and collecting these points will raise players’ Fighting Pass tier and enable them to unlock new profile titles in the future.
Aside from Battle Hub matches, players can also increase their reputation and earn rewards by completing Daily Challenges.
Street Fighter 6 is available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
