Full Guide
What Sol is
Sol is the primary currency in Zero Parades. It is used for purchases, bribes, and certain dialogue options. Unlike some RPG currencies, Sol is relatively scarce early on.
Where to find Sol
Sol can be found in: the safe house (check all containers), early quest rewards, selling unnecessary items, and certain NPC interactions. Bootleg Bazaar has multiple opportunities.
Early spending priorities
1) Lockpick from Goat Eyes (30 sol) — opens most barriers. 2) Information from vendors. 3) Save 100 sol if you want the gun buy route. Avoid spending on consumables early.
Sol management tips
Check every container. Sell clothing you do not need. Some dialogue options cost Sol — save before expensive choices. The free gun route saves 100 sol but requires high Technoflex.
Common Mistakes
- Spending Sol on consumables before tools.
- Not checking all containers in the safe house.
- Forgetting that dialogue options can cost Sol.
- Spending 100 sol on the gun before checking the free craft route.
