Survival Cash, Civic Credits & Boss Tickets

The cluster-wide cash you earn — plus Boss Tickets, the premium lottery currency.

SurvivalCash — SCash for short — is the single currency across the whole network. Your balance is tied to your character, so it follows you everywhere: earn it on one server, spend it on another. It never resets when you travel.

How you earn it

ActionReward
Zombie kill+5
Boss / Demolisher / Radiated kill+500
Playtime+2 per minute
Kill streak+100 every 10 kills without dying
Daily login+500 (once per calendar day)
Tip · VIP multiplies EVERY earning — Bronze 1.15×, Silver 1.25×, Gold 1.40×, Platinum 1.60×. So a Platinum survivor earns 8 SurvivalCash per zombie instead of 5.

How you LOSE it

Tip · Death has a price. Every time you die you lose 250 SCash — and your balance CAN go negative, so a rough streak can leave you in debt until you earn your way back into the black. Stay alive.

How you spend it

  • The Server Shop — gear, ammo, vehicles and more
  • The Auction House — buy from other players
  • Survival Network Realty — rent or buy a protected home
  • The S&N Bank — invest in stocks and Horde Defense CDs, or repay a loan
  • Send it to another player with !pay

Civic Credits — the vote currency

Civic Credits (CC) are earned ONLY by voting for the network on the listing sites — you get Civic Credits each time you vote, per site, every day. They are a separate balance from SCash and Boss Tickets, and they cannot be bought with cash.

Spend them in the Vote Shop at thesurvivalnetwork.online/vote on vote-exclusive gear — vehicle attachments (Brush Mower Deck, Stone Collector, Terrain Plow) and all 16 vehicle horns, with more added over time. Purchases deliver in-game, or land in your vault — !withdraw — if you are offline.

Tip · Check your Civic Credits anytime: the site header, your Panel, or in-game with !balance (which now shows SCash, Boss Tickets and Civic Credits together).

Boss Tickets — the lottery currency

Boss Tickets are the premium currency for the Boss Lottery. They are a digital balance held on your account — there is no physical item to carry or lose — and each spin of the wheel costs 5 tickets. Spins can land gear, ammo by the stack, vehicles, mods, perk vintages, and rare Blackout apex weapons (you never win a duplicate weapon or piece of gear).

How you earn Boss Tickets — the FREE way

ActionReward
Legendary / Apex kill30% chance of +1 Boss Ticket
Every 150 kills+1 Boss Ticket (automatic)
5-day login streak+2 Boss Tickets
Zero-death blood moon+1 Boss Ticket to every survivor online (Horde Bounty)
Tip · Example: a busy horde night dropping ~30 legendaries nets roughly 9 tickets from the 30% drop alone — plus a bonus ticket for every 150 total kills, and 2 more for logging in five days straight. Around 400 boss kills earns 120 tickets (24 spins) purely from play.

Want them faster?

You can also buy Boss Tickets on the site with real money, OR with SurvivalCash — note that LOANED cash cannot be used to buy tickets. Then head to the Boss Lottery and spin.
