 Creds are used to buy weapons, shields, and abilities during the Buy Phase before each round. They can also be used to buy weapons for teammates. If a teammate is low on Creds, teammates can right-click on a weapon to send a request to the team for someone to purchase the weapon for them.

Income

 Creds are rewarded at the start of every round, the amount is based on performance in the previous round and Creds saved from previous rounds of the current half.

■ 800Creds at the first round of each half.

■ 3,000Creds for the round win.

■ 1,900Creds for round loss.
