Bolts

A Bolt (often presented Ḃ) is the name of the official object for the currency of the OmniVerse. These can be earned by doing diffucult or mind-teasing tasks. However, they are also found in bolt-crates stacked neatly along with other crates such as ammo crates, NanoTech Crates, Explosive Crates, Jack Pot Crates, and Steel Crates. They are always dropped after defeating an enemy. They come in to forms, rather hand-sized, glowing gold bolts, or small silver bolts. "Leading-bolts" are rather large silver non-glowing bolts, put in place to lead the player on where to go. There are different types of bolts.

There are several types of bolts, washers, bolts, screws, fasteners, nuts, hex-caps, deck screws and springs. They are often worth 1-5-20 Ḃ.
