What is Bills Must Be Paid?

How should a new player begin?
Start with Getting Started, learn the hammer and stamina loop, then read the bill screen before spending the first meaningful payout.
How do bills work?
Bills appear during play. Ignoring them can let the collector take a cut, while paying can unlock a perk; exact values require the current build.
Which hammer is best?
There is no permanent universal best. Compare damage, speed, critical chance and radius against the target and bill pressure that actually ends your run.

Is this an official wiki?
