THE GOLD ECONOMY
Play the game. Get paid.
Gold comes from surviving and doing useful things. It normally survives routine map wipes, with one important exception.
Wipe policy: Gold normally survives routine map wipes, but an announced full economy wipe resets Gold, Skill Tree progress, Shop perks, and Backpacks. The August 26 wipe was one of those announced full resets.
