Nebulous Gamepasses
Optional Robux extras after the August shop wave—never a substitute for rockets and farm.
Nebulous added a live Robux shop of optional gamepasses. This page lists what the store was selling in mid-August 2026, what each name implies, and how to spend (or skip) without wrecking the solo boss-rush loop. It is not a codes list—promo strings still live on the Codes Hub. The reliable free edge remains +15% Group resources.
The experience by latent//state (permission from LostVolBytes) is still solo (maxPlayers = 1): 25 levels, 5 Guardians, a five-drone finale, 90+ upgrades, and permadeath after the first clear. Paid extras sit on top of that loop. They do not unlock co-op, the editor, or cosmetics—those stay on the Roadmap.
Prices below were observed around 2026-08-16 on public listings. Roblox stores move. Confirm in-client before you buy.
Observed gamepasses (August 2026)
Save and run economy
- Extra Save Slot 1 (~99 Robux) — a second save file so a prestige or experiment does not overwrite your main climb.
- Extra Save Slot 2 (~99 Robux) — a third file for the same reason.
- Third Endless Run (~99 Robux) — extra endless / prestige-style attempt capacity. Useful only after you already understand Permadeath rules.
Save slots are the most honest purchases on the list: they buy organization, not DPS.
Combat padding (use last)
- Additional Damage (~149) — paid offense. Still worse than learning the free damage spine on Early Game Upgrades.
- Additional Bullet (~199) — extra projectile pressure; pair mentally with clip/reload, do not skip those nodes.
- Additional Health (~189) — comfort HP. The same trap the wiki already warns about in Upgrade Mistakes.
- Stronger Shield (~249) — paid shield margin. Fine as thin insurance, fatal as an identity. See Drones and Shields.
- Wider Options (~399) — the premium-priced utility pass. Confirm in-client what it actually widens before you treat it as a must-buy.
Start and income
- Head Start (~199) — front-loads early power. It can skip some first-hour friction; it cannot teach L10 wing control or L13 circles (Level Spikes).
- More Resources (~179) — paid income on top of Group +15%. Stacking income is tempting; spending it on size/health is still a wipe.
Who should buy anything
Reasonable:
- Extra save slots if you run a soft-mode climb and a permadeath file in parallel
- A single offense pass after the free ladder is online and you still want faster phases
- More Resources if you already farm cleanly and want shorter shop waits
Skip for now:
- Health / shield passes as your first Robux spend
- Head Start if you have not read Getting Started
- Anything sold as a badge shortcut—badges still require fights (Badge Guide)
Free path that still wins
- Join the Group for +15%.
- Buy damage, clip, reload, bounce, rockets.
- Farm before each Guardian.
- Open cores on purpose.
- Only then open the Robux tray.
Codes remain uncommon. Do not wait for a gift string to “match” a gamepass. Redeem workflow stays on How to Redeem.
After the August 14 update
The place updated 2026-08-14, crossed 1M visits, and the official blurb now says 90+ upgrades. Shop SKUs can appear, rename, or repriced in that heat. Re-check Live Status and the in-game store the same day you spend.

Robux can buy time. It cannot buy pattern literacy. Spend on saves and focused offense if you spend at all—then get back to the farm that actually clears Guard 5.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Nebulous pilots.
Does Nebulous have gamepasses?
Yes. Mid-August 2026 listings include extra save slots, combat pads, Head Start, More Resources, and a Third Endless Run pass. Confirm prices in-client.
Which gamepass is worth buying first?
Extra save slots if you juggle permadeath and a learning file. Combat pads are optional and should never replace the free upgrade spine.
Do gamepasses replace the Group +15% bonus?
No. Join the Group first. Paid resource passes stack on top; they are not a substitute for the free permanent bonus.
Will a gamepass unlock Untouchable or Cleared?
No. Those badges still require the fights. Read the Badge Guide before spending Robux on prestige fantasies.
