From Oct 29 to Dec 3, 2026, spend Blood Strike Gold in this order: Strike Pass Elite first (520 Gold, fully refunded at max level by Nov 14), then the 50-Gold MP7 - Netherflame gacha before Nov 7, then EVO Kar98k - Shuriken by Dec 3. A quick Blood Strike Gold top-up by UID covers all three.
I've been grinding Blood Strike since the early passes, and this is the busiest five weeks of the year. Halloween content, a new map, a ranked push and two EVO skins all land at once.
So here's everything on one page: what the 10/20 patch changed, a dated timetable, where your Gold goes first, and the questions people keep asking in chat.

The Version Update Announcement 2026/10/20 is the Halloween patch. Here are the parts that actually matter for your loadout and your wallet. If you want the full text, BitTopup's event hub mirrors the complete 10/20 patch notes.
It's War Tide on a nighttime Shutter Island. You earn Giggle Coins, and the No.1 player becomes the Clown's spokesperson and gets the chainsaw. There's also a Nightmare Trial Leaderboard with the limited emote "Don't Be So Serious" plus ranking titles.
Graffiti District (Nov 5): joins SF - Strike Map Pack, Hot Zone, Arms Race, Weapon Master, Team Deathmatch and Free For All. Use the small connecting pipes.
Apex Arena is now in Weapon Master.
Night maps come to Big Head Mode and Nightmare Trial.

The 999 Gold from Oct 30 – Nov 1 lands right before the MP7 - Netherflame gacha closes on Nov 7. Use that free Gold on gacha rounds and keep your topped-up Gold for the pass.
The big EVO pick: Kar98k - Shuriken (Oct 23 – Dec 3)
This is the Kar98k's first-ever EVO skin, and it runs alongside Eternal Kraken - Vanish until Dec 3. You've got time. Clear the pass first, then decide in November.

Best for
Everyone who plays most days
Late starters and UMP45 fans
My take: Elite is the best-value item in the whole game. You pay 520, play the month, and get 520 back. Premium is the pick if you're starting late (today is Oct 29, with only 16 days left) because the instant jump to level 20 buys back lost time.

What to buy first: the Gold spending order
This is the order I'd follow with your Gold right now. It's built on the live pools, not last season's.
Strike Pass Elite (520 Gold), by Nov 14Pays itself back at max level. No-brainer.
Free stuff, Oct 29 – Nov 10Claim the 999-Gold login (Oct 30 – Nov 1), MP155 - Hotblast, the Sedan - Odashadow and the Spear - Blossom rally.
MP7 - Netherflame Ascension Gacha, by Nov 750 Gold per round with free rank-ups, on the gun that just got buffed. Spend your event Gold here first.
Ultra UZI - Cataclysm, by Oct 31 (optional)Starts from 9 Gold and is guaranteed in 8 draws, so you know your ceiling.
One big EVO or Eternal by Dec 3EVO Kar98k - Shuriken for snipers, Eternal GALIL - Fright for AR players, EVO Raze for melee.
Premium upgrade (only if you're late)The level-20 jump helps you finish Bunny Force in 16 days.
Limited-Time Gold can't buy the Strike Pass, so burn it on gacha rounds and shop items first. Keep regular Gold for the pass. For the long game, BitTopup's Blood Strike Gold spending strategy breaks down every currency sink.

New players mix these up all the time, and the names on the GACHA screen don't help. Here's how each type in the current window works, in plain words.

Use top-up coupons here
The rule of thumb: guaranteed-in-X pools are the smartest place for small Gold budgets, because you know the maximum before you start. Save the open-ended pools for when you already have a pass running and spare Gold on top.
One more thing players miss: top-up coupons work on Ultra stashes, not on EVO pools. If you get one, park it for the Bizon - Mind Calculation stash on Nov 3, which lines up nicely with the Bizon reload buff.
Ranked goals that cost zero Gold
Legendary Odyssey III has been running since Oct 15: reach Legendary in BR or SF to earn Legendary Marks toward an INP-9 skin and titles. BR Season 19 started Sep 15 and SF Season 19 on Oct 15, and the Ranked Sprint kicks off Nov 7 as the final week of the BR season. Stack your ranked grind into that sprint week and you'll pick up Rank Coins and signature rewards without spending a single Gold.

Blood Strike Gold FAQ
Where do I find my Blood Strike UID?
Open Settings → Account → User ID. You can also tap your avatar → Overview → User ID and copy it. That number is all you need for a top-up.
Is Gold shared between Steam and mobile?
Gold lives on your account (UID). Link Steam to your main account first via Settings → Account → Bind Account → Bind Steam, as the official binding guide explains. If a Steam account was launched on its own first, that Steam account can't be linked later, so bind before you play on PC. Always top up the UID you actually play on.
What's the difference between Timed Gold and regular Gold?
Limited-Time (Timed) Gold has an expiry, so spend it first on gacha rounds and shop items. Regular Gold stays on your account and is the only kind the Strike Pass accepts: the purchase screen literally says "Cannot use Limited-Time Gold".
Do I really get 520 Gold back from Elite?
Yes. The Elite screen shows "Total Obtainable X520", and the official notes confirm the full 520 refund at max level. Hit max before Bunny Force ends on Nov 14.
How do I redeem a code?
In-game: EVENT → the announcement (speaker) icon → scroll to the bottom → Redemption Code. Gold from BitTopup needs no code; it's credited straight to your UID.
My Gold hasn't shown up yet. What now?
Relog or restart the game to refresh your balance. Check the order confirmation email and make sure the UID and server match your in-game User ID. Orders typically complete within a few minutes, and BitTopup's 24/7 support is there if you want a hand.
How many draws does Eternal ZERO - Odashadow take?
The Halloween Free Draws pool guarantees it within 150 draws, and it runs Oct 20 – Nov 14. The Sedan - Odashadow is free to claim until Nov 10.
When is the Ranked Sprint?
It starts Nov 7, the final week of the current BR season, with Rank Coins and signature rewards. Save your ranked grind for that week.
Global or MENA: which page do I use?
Use the one that matches your game server. BitTopup has a Global Gold page and a separate MENA page that also carries Strike Pass Elite and Premium.
That's the whole window mapped out. Grab the pass, claim the free Gold on Oct 30 – Nov 1, hit the MP7 gacha before Nov 7, and save one big pick for before Dec 3. See you in Graffiti District on Nov 5.
