Afraid Monkeys NPC Guide
Afraid Monkeys facility NPCs handle the entire credit economy — Mikey sells Radar, Map, and Sprint upgrades while Bender converts scrap into spendable credits at recycler stations. Knowing where each vendor sits saves minutes on every respawn loop and prevents the common mistake of carrying scrap until death.
Mikey — Equipment Shop
Mikey is the lobby-area equipment vendor. Community playthroughs in Spanish and English confirm he sells Radar, Map at seventy-five credits, and Sprint upgrades alongside other gear. Interact with Mikey after banking credits from Bender or Level 1 recyclers.
Recommended purchase order: Radar first, then Map, then Sprint. See lobby map guide for shop location relative to spawn.
Bender — Scrap Recycler
Bender operates the storage wing recycler where players sell scrap for credits. YouTube guides show selling over one hundred credits of scrap at Bender before returning to Mikey for Map purchases. Access storage via the storage keycard route in our storage walkthrough.
Level 1 also has Scrap Recycler machines near the first junction — use those for early-game loops before storage unlocks.
Vending Machine
The lobby vending machine sells grenades at fifteen credits and molotovs at twenty-five credits alongside Radar if Mikey routing differs by server build. Bank credits before cosmetic purchases — hat swaps may reset credits.
Keycard Scanners
Card scanners appear at Level 2 doors, storage doors, Level 3 entrances, and cave maze junctions. Card 1 scanner zones connect to maze progression per community badge guides. Full sequence: keycard guide.
Optimal NPC Loop
- Farm scrap on Level 1 or Level 2 debris fields
- Sell at Bender or Level 1 recycler
- Return to Mikey for Radar and Map
- Re-enter facility for keycard or badge runs
