Earned in runs
Keys are collected around the nest during survival rounds. Earning is described as slow and risky — the danger and the payout sit on the same route, which is why route memory is the real earning skill.

The Locust of MM2 Items and Rewards — Keys, the Shop, and Every Claim's Source
One currency, one shop, no code rewards — the documented economy, with every gameplay claim named, dated, and marked community-level where it is one.
Quick answer
The Locust of MM2's economy, as far as public documentation goes, is one currency deep: Keys, gathered in the nest during runs and spent in a shop on monster skins, abilities, and equipment. Progress is reported profile-tied with no trading, and no code system has been demonstrated for this place — rewards are earned by running, not redeemed. Prices, payout rates, and the full item list have never been published by the developer, so this page dates every claim and names the outlet behind it instead of quoting numbers it cannot source.
Currency
Keys — how they are earned, spent, and kept
The full documented lifecycle of the game's only known currency.
Spent in the shop
Three reported families: monster skins, abilities, and equipment. Abilities and equipment make later runs safer — the compounding purchases — while skins are the profile's trophy case.

Kept on the profile
Progress is reported profile-tied with no trading. There is no secondary market, no gifting, and no way to lose stocked Keys except spending them — hoarding earns nothing.

The look-alike's economy
“Community!” and 100 Keys belong to the other game
The economy claims players most often misattribute — labeled by place.
Community!
Working (publisher-listed)100 Keys — Look-alike: MM2 of The Locust (place 113385977463481)
Beebom (September 14, 2026) lists it working with the exclamation mark required, redeemed through a Codes button in the top-right corner. RoHorizon still files it among community reports (September 19, 2026), and Destructoid (updated October 15, 2026) now lists it as expired and reports no active codes for that game — shown here all three ways.

GHOULUPDATE
Community-reportedReported free rewards — Look-alike: MM2 of The Locust (place 113385977463481)
Community report logged September 24, 2026 by RoHorizon; the name implies a “ghoul” update shipped on that game, not this one.
The reversed-title game's trackers even report their own economy vocabulary — its “Key” rewards have nothing to do with this game's nest runs. When a video promises Keys through a code, check the place ID before checking the code.

FAQ
Item and reward questions
What are Keys in The Locust of MM2?
Keys are the game's collectible currency per community guides (RoHorizon, refreshed September 7, 2026): you gather them around the Locust's nest during runs and spend them in a shop on monster skins, abilities, and equipment. The developer publishes no price list, so treat any specific Key price you see online as someone's screenshot, not a documented table.
Can I trade items or Keys with other players?
Community reporting describes progress as profile-tied with no trading system — Keys, skins, abilities, and equipment stay on the account that earned them (RoHorizon, September 7, 2026). The Murder Mystery 2 trading scene this game's name evokes belongs to a different game entirely.
Are there free reward codes for items?
No code has been demonstrated for this exact game (checked 2026-10-03) — the codes page documents the evidence and the look-alike game's separately tracked codes. Do not grind toward a "free code reward" here; the earning path is runs, not redemption.
What should a new player buy first from the shop?
The community-documented shop sells three families: monster skins (cosmetic), abilities, and equipment. The standard advice order is abilities or equipment that make runs safer before skins that make runs prettier — every Key spent on survival compounds into faster future earning.
Do items carry over between sessions?
Yes, per the profile-tied progression report — purchases persist on your account across sessions. Plan big purchases across evenings with the resource calculator, which projects a shop price into runs, minutes, and sessions.
