Creds

The buy menu as seen in-game.

Creds (also known as Credits) are the in-game currency of Valorant.

Summary

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.

• 800 at first round of each half
• 3,000 for round win
• 1,900 for round loss
  • Additional 500 for 2x loss streak or 1,000 for loss streaks of 3x or greater
• 200 for each kill
• 300 for the team planting the spike
• Saving penalties (receive a reduced 1,000):
  • Any attackers still alive at the end of the round, when the spike hasn't been planted
  • Any defenders still alive at the end of the round, when the spike has detonated
• Compensation for Missing Players
• 5,000 at overtime

Creds reset after 12 rounds when switching from attack to defense and vice versa. A single player may not accumulate more than 9,000.
