    Earning Armory Credits<\/b><\/h3>\n

    \"Earning<\/p>\n

    Once you\u2019ve purchased and activated the CS2 Armory Pass, the next step is earning <\/span>Armory Credits<\/i><\/b> to unlock exclusive rewards. You can earn up to <\/span>40 credits per pass<\/i><\/b>, and these credits can be used to purchase various skins, charms, and cases. However, unlike some games where you can buy progress, you\u2019ll need to earn these credits by playing and accumulating XP.<\/span><\/p>\n

    To gain credits, focus on playing standard Valve game modes such as Matchmaking and Deathmatch. Every bit of XP you earn goes toward your progress. It is possible to earn about <\/span>5 credits per one match<\/i><\/b>, which means you\u2019ll need dedication and consistency to unlock the high-end rewards\u200b. Keep in mind that modes like Faceit will not contribute to your progress, so stick to official Valve modes for XP.<\/span><\/p>\n
