Zenny serves as the main form of video game currency in the World Tour mode of Street Fighter 6 and will be important for those hoping to purchase new items and outfits for their custom fighter. Although, strictly speaking, it's not all that important when it comes to actually completing World Tour mode, that's not to say that there aren't still plenty of reasons for players to farm money as they play.
It's possible to earn a fairly decent amount of Zenny just by completing main story missions and side quests, but for those hoping to unlock all of the custom outfits in the game and also keep their fighter well-fed, there are a few ways to make money quickly in the World Tour mode of Street Fighter 6. This guide will focus on the best method, while also offering up a few alternatives.
Updated June 17, 2023, by Tom Bowen: Those hoping to be able to afford enough Master gifts to unlock every fighter's Outfit 2 are going to have to get their hands on an awful lot of cash, with around 1.8m Zenny needed in total even with shop discount skills. Luckily, it's relatively easy to Zenny farm in the World Tour mode of Street Fighter 6, particularly after players have completed the main story and unlocked Hard mode for all of the part-time jobs and mini-games.
How to Farm Money Quickly in World Tour Mode
The best way to earn money in the World Tour mode of Street Fighter 6 is by completing mini-games, as these can be challenged repeatedly in order to earn an unlimited amount of Zenny. There are a few different mini-games to choose from, but the best is arguably the iconic Scrap Heap mini-game, which can be triggered by speaking with an NPC called Junkyard Smallz at Abigail's Scrap Metal to the south of Metro City.
Players will first gain access to the Scrap Heap mini-game at the start of Chapter 3 after defeating Boluo up on the Chinatown rooftop. To complete it, they'll simply need to destroy the truck as quickly as possible, which becomes easier as players grow stronger. From level 10 onward, players should be able to destroy the truck in around fifteen seconds, which will earn them more than 2,500 Zenny per play. When loading and menu screens are accounted for, players can expect to earn around 15,000 Zenny every two to three minutes.
As they progress further through the main story, players will unlock Medium and Hard difficulty levels for Scrap Heap, the latter of which will reward them with around 11,000 Zenny for every 20-second cycle. This can be further boosted to a little over 15,000 Zenny per cycle by eating something that grants the "Part-Time Job Reward Boost" bonus beforehand. Corn Flex is a great option here, as it can be ordered directly through the Deliveries App after completing the "Drone Delivery" side quest in Metro City.
Upon their arrival in Nayshall, players will gain access to another part-time job called Scrap Heap 2, which can be triggered by speaking with an NPC named Scrap Factory MOUSE down in the Lowlands. While the payout for Scrap Heap II is still well above average, the original version of Scrap Heap in Metro City remains the best SF6 Zenny farm when it comes to efficiency. That said, playing Scrap Heap II can still be very profitable for those who don't fancy flying back to Metro City and is a requirement for anyone hoping to complete the "Tour de Part-Time" side quest.
Other Ways to Earn Money in Street Fighter 6
In addition to earning money by completing mini-games and street fights, players can also farm Zenny out in the field. Sometimes, they'll find Zenny in chests, though most of the time they'll get it by winning fights and destroying barrels and boxes. The latter can be accomplished by using Field Actions, which are unlocked toward the end of Chapter 2. Farming Zenny this way can be pretty slow, however, so those looking to earn money quickly in Street Fighter 6 should definitely stick to the part-time job mini-games.
Street Fighter 6 is available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
