Cold War [APC] players talk about several spends at once: match or account cash, CRP, a research tree, and Robux gamepasses. Public pages do not publish one official tree or one earning formula. The safe method is to read the label on the button you are about to press.
Do not merge the currencies
Robux buys the documented special-force passes through Roblox. Cash-like numbers show up in class and vehicle prices. CRP is its own term in player discussion and on some post-match comments. "Research" might mean the tree, a progress bar, or the act of unlocking a node. A guide that only says "points" is incomplete.
Write the unit next to every number you save. The 26 September 2026 changelog listed Radioman at 30,000 and Crewman at 15,000 without printing the currency word on those two lines. A June 2026 beginner video estimated Anti-Tank around 40,000 cash. A May 2026 medic video estimated that kit around 5,000 cash. All three can be stale after later balance passes. The card in your current server wins.
Research checklist
Before you spend, record:
- The exact class, weapon, or vehicle name.
- Whether it is NATO, PACT, one variant, or account-wide.
- Every prerequisite the arrows show. Do not assume the expensive item is a direct purchase.
- The currency and the amount, read from the symbol beside the price.
- What you actually receive: access, a node, a variant, or only one step toward a later spawn cost.
A node can unlock the right to see a vehicle while another menu still charges a spawn fee or requires Crewman. Confirm the result on the spawn screen after the purchase.
If progress looks missing, capture the before and after balances, the server, and whether you were on an old instance. Roblox servers can keep an older build after an update. Rejoin once if a creator note says the feature is live. Do not send account credentials to another player to "activate" an unlock.
What CRP is, and is not
No checked public source expands CRP into a full official formula, cap, or shop list. Find the letters CRP on the progression, research, class, vehicle, or post-match screen and keep the surrounding words. Finish a normal match and read the award lines before you close them. If CRP is not printed, do not invent it from a different total.
Until a creator posts the formula, earn by playing the objective with a role you understand. A September 2026 Crewman video reported a small cash payout plus one CRP-like "car RP" per transport. That is a lead, not a rate card. Do not use macros, AFK farms, or off-platform sellers. The official description already treats exploiting as a ban.
The five special-force passes
Commerce records checked on 30 September 2026 listed these Robux prices. The purchase dialog is the only price that counts.
| Pass | Snapshot price | Documented contents |
|---|---|---|
| Spetsnaz-GRU | 400 | AKS-74UB, BS-1 Tishina, and PB on the published kit description. |
| Delta Force | 400 | Delta Rifleman with CAR-15 SF, M9, and M33A1. A Delta Force Marksman was added in the APC update. |
| Navy SEALs | 600 | Assault with Stoner 63A and Ithaca 37. Grenadier with MP5SD and China Lake. |
| Spetsnaz VMF | 400 | Assault and Recon packages built around AS Val or VSS, with APS and RGO. |
| Spetsgruppa "A" / PSSE-B | 1,000 | Product and price are documented. A complete current loadout was not. Read the live description. |
Buy from the official experience, Universe ID 4750561026, not from a search hit with a similar name. Confirm creator Grip Studios, the product name, the description, and your ownership state. Do not pay an off-platform seller.
A pass is access to a role you might play. It is not map knowledge, and it is not a promise that the weapon stays at today's damage. Compare it with a free or researched kit in the same job. If you rarely play that faction or that range, wait.
Choose from the rounds you already play
If you spend the match as objective infantry, a rifle or support path will see more use than a tank you cannot crew. If your group already runs armor, Crewman and the APC card matter more. Pick one near unlock and one later goal, total only the costs the menu shows, and play a few matches before you change the plan.
