How to earn credits

Salary

The current system added with the Xylander Build (1-9-2015) is that you get paid for playtime. Each rank has amount of salary it gets for 60 minutes of being out in the field. Also, if you stay until the game ends, you will recieve a 10% bonus to this salary. As result amount of credits is calculated using this formula:

Salary * play time * end bonus * veteran, where

Salary - amount of money you get according to your rank in 1 hour, play time - hours spent alive, end bonus - 1.1 modifier if you stayed until the match ended, veteran - having a veteran membership will grant you 25% bonus, meaning 1.25 modifier.

If we take rank 17 for example, it's hourly salary is 18500 credits. If you were alive for 30 minutes, and haven't left until the end, and you have veteran membership, your salary will be

18500 * 0.5 * 1.1 * 1.25 = 12718 credits.

The amount of credits that you receive can be increased by Veteran membership (25% bonus).

Extra Information: Credits cannot be bought with gold or any other form of purchasing, they are only acquired by playing the game.
