The Survivor Gold, often abbreviated as SG, is a form of currency that is earned by playing Half-Life 2: Survivor and could be used to purchase different items usable in the Battle Mode. It was first introduced in the Survivor 2.0 update, which was released on November 29, 2007.

Overview

Survivor Gold could be earned by playing any of the Survivor's game modes, each mode awarding a different amount. It was the currency used in the item shop, with which players could purchase various weapons, as well as cosmetic character skins and emblems. However, unlike the unlocked weapons, the purchased weapons do not add additional weapon slots, which means that to use them the player would need to unequip some of the unlocked or standard weapons.

Amount of the accumulated Survivor Gold could be shared by multiple NESYS cards registered in the Survivor camp. SG could also be acquired when using an unregistered NESYS card, in which case it would get added to the camp after registration.

As of the network service shutdown on February 1 of 2010, Survivor Gold can no longer be earned, making all the purchasable items unobtainable by normal means.
