When in battle, every action you perform will earn you credits. However, there are a few cases which stand out and may earn you just that little extra to purchase that new weapon you want.
1: Improve your rank – improve your salary
One of the most important income of credits for your soldier is the Soldier’s Salary. The salary can be earned by just playing the game. It’s calculated on your active time in a battle. And the higher your rank, the higher your salary! The salary for a rank zero soldier is 8000 credits per hour of active gametime, where as a rank 17 soldier will earn you 18.500 credits per hour.
2: Capturing wins you the game and credits
Capturing is not only a key element for victory, it’s also a great credit income. Especially the objectives will earn you a good amount of credits when you capture them. So grab your vehicle and keep moving to the next Control Points to gain credits and victory.
3: Benefit from a Veteran Membership
Veteran Membership has many benefits, including a +25% credit bonus. This can make a significant difference to your paycheck at the end of each battle. It also makes you earn more experience, so you can obtain a higher rank faster.
4: Make smart career choices
There are many career options, but not all of them may earn you as much credits. Keep in mind that the infantry soldier is always the primary role in Heroes & Generals. It’s also the most versatile role and ensures plenty ways to earn yourself some credits.
5: Kill the tanks
Tanks are surely powerful, and killing them will earn you a nice credit bonus. Be careful using anti-tank equipment such as the bazooka or throwables. Anti-tank equipment is very expensive. Each control point has (free) panzerfausts in it, which you can use to hit the tanks. Anti-tank mines also provide a cheap solution to get rid of tanks, but a tank might spot them or take a different route to avoid your mines.
Quick Extra Tips
- If you squad with other players who have a Veteran Membership you will earn a small bonus. Each player in a squad with veteran membership provides a +5% bonus for you, up to +20%.
- The more powerful your weapon, the more expensive it becomes. An AVS, Stg or M1/M2 Carbine will cost more to maintain than your standard starter weapon
- The battle report shows you exactly how much credits you earned, and the notifications show you how much you spent.
