Gold: exchange cash, time the rate and budget cosmetics

Gold bars are the currency the Gold Market takes for cosmetics. You get them by exchanging match cash at a rate that changes from day to day. Use the Gold exchange page with one example: the 10-bar Digital Wood M4 skin, $10,000,000 cash and two bars already owned, at the October 16, 2026 quote. Open the example.

Unlock the Gold Market

The Gold Market unlocks at WARDOG Level 35 for $150,000. Match cash buys gold bars at the Gold Exchange; those bars buy cosmetics. The quote states the cash price of one bar. An exchange cannot be resold or refunded.

The Digital Wood M4 costs 10 bars. Shh costs 5 and the Digital Wood Sport Parachute 15. The Black & Gold AK74 was removed from the Gold Market for Season 2. Check Skins & cosmetics for the available choices before planning a purchase.

Cash & XP separates event rewards from the match bonus. Season 2 changed logistics, spotting and several combat rewards, so a Season 1 earnings estimate should not decide how much cash to exchange.

Read the quote

The panel at the top of the page shows the price of one gold bar and the date of that quote. Change from previous day compares it with the day before. Quote date opens any recorded day, Latest quote returns to the newest one and Refresh quote asks for today's rate. When today's rate is not recorded yet, the panel says Today's quote unavailable and keeps the latest recorded day under its own date.

On October 16, 2026 one bar cost $557,480, up $303,533 from October 15.

Time the exchange

Each cosmetic card shows its cost at the quote date, marked Now for the latest quote or with the date when you pick an older one. Below it, the card lists the cheapest and highest cost over the last week and month. Every figure is the skin's bar price times a recorded rate, so the card shows whether the quote's rate is high or low against the days before it.

For the October 16 quote, the week is October 10 to 16 and the month is September 17 to October 16.

On October 16 the Digital Wood M4 cost $5,574,800, the top of its week range of $2,293,610 to $5,574,800. Its month range was $1,660,000 to $17,976,000. A previous low is a comparison, not a promise that the rate will return there.

The Rate history chart opens on the month that ends on the latest quote. All history plots every recorded day, and From and Through narrow the chart and the table to any window. The table lists each day's rate and daily change, newest first. Select a date in the table to use that day's quote at the top of the page.

The month ends at the latest recorded quote. Select a recorded day to price the same cosmetic budget at that rate.

All history: from April 1, 2025 to September 9, 2026 the rate stayed between $254,809 and $356,295.

Budget a cosmetic

Tick one or more cosmetics, then enter Cash available and Gold bars owned. Cosmetic budget adds up the selection:

• Gold bars required is the bar price of everything selected. The Digital Wood M4 needs 10.
• To buy is the bars still missing after the ones you own. With two owned, 8.
• Cash to finish is those bars at the quote: 8 × $557,480 = $4,459,840.
• Cash shortfall is the part your cash does not cover: $0, because $10,000,000 covers the $4,459,840 still needed.

The Cash & gold panel is a separate exchange calculator. Bars to buy prices one purchase, here $557,480 for a single bar, and Cash buys shows how many whole bars your cash covers at the quote: 17 bars with $522,840 left.

The same 8 bars at the week's lowest recorded rate, $229,361, would have cost $1,834,888, which is $2,624,952 less. That difference is why the quote date belongs beside the budget.

A cosmetic marked Price unavailable has no known bar price. The budget then shows unknown totals instead of counting it as free.

Keep and share the plan

Save budget keeps the plan on this device, and in your account when you are signed in; it opens again from Saved. Copy link copies an address that reopens the same cosmetics, amounts, quote date and history window.

The site records one rate per day. Compare it with the rate the in-game Gold Exchange shows before you commit cash, because an exchange cannot be refunded. To plan the matches that close a shortfall, open the bankroll planner; the skin's page links its weapon, the M4.
