Frequently Asked Questions
The Gold Operation Riptide Coin was earned during Operation Riptide by upgrading the base operation coin through mission progress and star completion. It was tied to the event and could only be obtained while Operation Riptide was active. After the operation ended, players could no longer unlock or upgrade it.
Operation coins like the Gold Operation Riptide Coin are not bought individually from the standard in-game store after an operation ends. They were progression rewards connected to a specific operation pass, so ownership depends on participating during that event. In practice, older operation coins function as account collectibles rather than regular market items.
Operation Riptide was released on September 21, 2021. It introduced a new operation pass, weekly missions, map additions, and the coin progression system that included the Gold Operation Riptide Coin. That release date is the starting point for when players could begin upgrading the coin.
Operation Riptide ended on February 20, 2022. Once the event closed, players could no longer complete operation missions to improve their coin tier. That cutoff is why the Gold Operation Riptide Coin is limited to accounts that finished enough operation progress before the deadline.
