Quick answer
Gold Bars are the planned long-term currency connected to cosmetic progression. Current official pages says remaining seasonal Cash converts into Gold Bars at reset, and Gold Bars plus cosmetics persist across seasons.
The important boundary: the public Early Access policy says Cash and Gold Bars are not sold for real money during Early Access.
How do Cash and Gold Bars differ?
Cash is battlefield buying power. It pays for the next life, specialist gear, and vehicles.
Gold Bars are long-term account value. They are tied to cosmetic progression and the planned Gold Market. Moving Cash into Gold Bars creates a choice: keep match flexibility now, or preserve value across seasons.
What is the Gold Market?
The Gold Market is the planned cosmetic destination for Gold Bars. Treat it as the long-term cosmetic side of the economy, separate from the Cash decisions that affect each match.
Use official store and account pages for any purchase or account action connected to cosmetics.
Practical read
- Spend Cash when it helps the current match.
- Preserve seasonal value when your match budget is already comfortable.
- Treat Gold Bars as cosmetic progression, not a replacement for battlefield Cash.
- Recheck official economy notes before making end-of-season decisions.
- Final version 1.0 transfer rules.
