There are 5 currencies in the game at the moment: Salvage, Credits, Warpreals, Intel, and Battle Pass Tokens. In this guide, I will explain how to earn all these currencies and what to spend them on to achieve the most effective outcome.
Salvage
Salvage (silver coins) is needed for crafting and upgrading modules: robot parts, weapons, and gear. This currency is one of the most important, and you will need a lot of it because the higher the level of your weapon, the more damage it deals.
How to Obtain
- Sell unnecessary modules in the Warehouse tab.
- Level up your account (the Progress tab), and you will receive Salvage upon reaching certain levels.
- Buy Salvage for Credits in the Store → Daily Deals section or for Warpreals in the Store → Currency → Salvage.
- Exchange Battle Pass Tokens for Salvage if such an offer is available.
- If you have Salvage or any other currency in your web inventory, you can transfer it to your account.
Credits
Credits (golden coins) are the most important currency in the game. Using Credits, you can buy new robot modules, Salvage, and Pilots. It’s better to always have a good supply of Credits because sometimes very good special offers appear in the Store, such as a hero-pilot or rare modules.
How to Obtain
- Complete Daily, Weekly, and Tutorial missions in the Job Board tab.
- Level up your account to receive Credits upon reaching certain levels (for example, levels 4 and 5).
- Exchange Battle Pass Tokens for Credits when possible.
- Participate in matches to earn a small number of Credits based on your performance.
- Credits can also be bought in the Store → Currency → Credits section for Warpreals.
Warpreals
With Warpreals, you can buy almost everything: robot modules, premium access for certain periods, Pilots, and every game-ready mech. You can also purchase the Gold Battle Pass to get significantly more rewards. If you are limited in finances, you should buy starter packs and a premium account from the Store. This will make your start in War Robots: Frontiers much easier.
Note, however, that you can get a premium account for free in several ways. For example, it can be bought for Battle Pass Tokens.
How to Obtain
- The only way to get this currency is through donations. 300-350 Warpreals cost approximately $8-10.
Intel
Intel is needed for upgrading robot parts, weapons, and gear at certain levels. For example, when you upgrade any weapon to level 2, it requires Salvage, but level 3 will require Intel.
How to Obtain
- Complete Daily, Weekly, and Tutorial missions in the Job Board tab.
- Level up your account to get extra Intel.
Battle Pass Tokens
This currency is linked to the Battle Pass and can only be spent in its unique store. Every Battle Pass has a different pool of rewards, usually including rare robot parts, weapons, gear, Salvage, Credits, Premium Status, and cosmetic items (paints, stickers, decals). The most valuable items you can get from the Battle Pass are modules for your robots, so if you are a free-to-play player, focus on them first.
How to Obtain
- Participate in matches to earn XP and level up your Battle Pass. With each new level, you will receive a certain number of Battle Pass Tokens (Regular: 3 tokens per level, 5 tokens every 5 levels; Golden: 12 tokens per level, 19 tokens every 5 levels).
