Violence District currencies decide what you can buy, upgrade, and save for across normal matches and older event shops. Screws and Emblems are the regular shop resources, while Candies and Ornaments explain Halloween and Christmas rewards that are currently unavailable.

Regular currency
Screws and Emblems are the normal currency rows tied to match rewards, shop spending, and progression choices. Screws carry most early spending decisions, while Emblems sit closer to rarer shop purchases.
Screws
Screws are the main currency for normal progression in Violence District. They matter first because they pay for killers, survivor items, emotes, and perk upgrades.

Event currency
Candies and Ornaments belong to Halloween and Christmas event shops. They are currently unavailable, so use these rows to understand old event rewards rather than planning a normal farming route.
Candies
Candies are the Halloween event currency. They belong on the currency list so old Halloween Shop rewards make sense, but they are not a normal farming target right now.

Ornaments
Ornaments are the Christmas event currency. Their route is tied to gift delivery and event shop rewards, so they should be read as unavailable unless the Christmas event returns.

How regular currency changes what you buy first
Screws are the main resource to understand first because they connect to core progression. You earn Screws through survivor and killer match actions, then spend them on killers, survivor items, emotes, and perk upgrades. That makes Screws the currency to watch before buying a new killer or building out a survivor loadout.
Emblems sit in a rarer lane. They are tied to match results and the Robux Shop, then used for perks, emotes, and skins. Treat them as a separate shop resource instead of assuming they farm through the same per-action route as Screws.
| Currency | Availability | Earn route | Main spend use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screws | Current regular currency | Match actions and Robux Shop | Killers, Items, Emotes, and perk upgrades |
| Emblems | Current regular currency | Match results and Robux Shop | Perks, Emotes, and Skins |
| Candies | Currently unavailable event currency | Halloween pumpkins during the event | Halloween Shop rewards |
| Ornaments | Currently unavailable event currency | Christmas gifts during the event | Christmas Shop rewards |
How event currency works when the event is gone
Candies and Ornaments are still useful to understand because old shop rewards and event discussions can mention them. Candies came from crushing pumpkins during the Halloween event, and Ornaments came from gift delivery during the Christmas event. During normal play, though, both currencies should be treated as unavailable unless the matching event returns.
What not to count as currency
Robux can appear as a purchase route, but it is not one of the four Violence District currency rows. Codes, gamepasses, perks, items, skins, and emotes are also separate systems. They may connect to currency through rewards or spending, but they should not be mixed into the currency list itself.
FAQ
Which Violence District currency should you focus on first?
Screws matter first for most players because they pay for killers, survivor items, emotes, and perk upgrades. They are also the currency with the clearest match-action earning routes.
Can you still earn Candies or Ornaments?
Candies and Ornaments are currently unavailable event currencies. Candies belonged to the Halloween Shop, and Ornaments belonged to the Christmas Shop.
How do you earn Emblems in Violence District?
Emblems come from match results and the Robux Shop. Plan around those routes rather than a fixed per-action rate like Screws.
Do codes, gamepasses, perks, items, or skins count as currencies?
No. Those are separate systems or things you can buy. The currency rows are Screws, Emblems, Candies, and Ornaments.
