Frequently Asked Questions
The Silver Operation Payback Coin was earned by buying and activating the Operation Payback Pass during the original Operation Payback event in CS:GO. It is a legacy collectible tied to that operation, so it cannot be obtained through current gameplay in CS2. The only way to have one now is if it was already unlocked on an account during the event.
Operation Payback was the first major Counter-Strike operation, originally released in CS:GO before CS2 existed. It gave players access to community-made maps and operation-related progression, and participants could earn the Operation Payback Coin. In CS2, the coin remains as an older account collectible that reflects participation in that event.
Yes, the 5 Year Veteran Coin can still be awarded in CS2 if an account meets Valve’s eligibility requirements based on account age and Counter-Strike ownership history. Unlike the Silver Operation Payback Coin, it is not tied to a limited-time operation pass. The two coins come from completely different systems, so owning one does not affect the other.
No, the Silver Operation Payback Coin is an account-bound collectible, not a market-tradable item. It does not function like a weapon skin, sticker, or knife, so you cannot buy or sell it on the Steam Community Market. If an account has the coin, it stays with that account as part of its service medal and coin history.
