Currency

Currency is a game mechanic in 3-2-1 Blast Off simulator that is obtained through various means, and used to purchase items such as scoops, backpacks, and Fuel Bots.

Currently, there are two types of currency in the game. These are cash and gems.

Cash
Cash is used to purchase most items in the game, including but not limited to Fuel Scoops, Backpacks, and Rockets. Cash is also used to Rank Up, permanently increasing the multiplier of cash earned from launching rockets and allowing you to collect rewards from islands again. However, all Cash is lost on rank up along with all other items purchased using it. For more information on ranking up, click here.



There are various methods to obtain cash, the first being launching rockets. By launching a rocket with fuel, you gain cash based on the altitude of the rocket after the fuel runs out. This number is then multiplied by things like your Rank-Up bonus, the rocket bonus, and the gamepass bonus. After that, you receive the cash to spend.

Another way to obtain cash is through purchasing it in the shop. This supports the developers, however it does costs robux, in other words real-life currency.



Gems
Gems are the premium currency in the game, and as a result extremely rare. The only free way for them to be obtained is through rewards from completing island challenges, which can be repeated again after ranking up, but not more than once for each rank. See gems for more information on their collection.
