Golden Mode has been removed from the game as of the 17th of December 2024.
Golden Mode may still exist in the game's code, though it is no longer officially used in-game, outside of possibly being in Sandbox in some form. This page has been preserved for historical purposes.
Description
Golden mode, formerly Hard mode, was one of the four main survival modes. Golden mode had 40 waves. It was named after its final boss, the Gold Titan. In this mode, shared cash was 35% (for example if someone else damaged an enemy by 10 health, you would receive 
$4).
As of the Overhaul Update, Golden mode has been removed from the game. Golden mode briefly returned to the game in the v1.46.4 update, albeit only via Sandbox mode. It was removed again in v1.46.5 update.
Rewards
The game calculated how much 
Coins and 
EXP you received based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 50% more EXP (08:00 UTC Friday ā 08:00 UTC Sunday), any EXP earned was multiplied by 1.5x.
Any rewards that end in a decimal point was rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.
Rewards were calculated as:
| Coins Reward | EXP Reward |
|---|---|
| 12 Ć Waves + 100 (Triumph Only)
|
2 EXP Ć Waves Completed Ć 1.25 EXP (Triumph Only)

Badges
