Why do I have to select 3 mercs to play for pubs?

Because this isnt Overwatch.

2. Change server (no penalty on pubs)

Of course there is a penalty. You’ve spent time on a game for nothing, including not getting XP. That’s no fun.

You know, there are maybe some players out there who don’t have a trizillion hours time per day or week to play, but they still want to get them moneyz and unlock some mercs. So they play for the contracts, so for the xp.

Actually my play time consisted mostly of just fulfilling the contracts and then turn off the game xD

is the base fee standardized? if yes, how many hours of standard base fee would it take to unlock a 50k merc? does anyone know that?

You get 12 credits per minute plus a bonus depending on your and your team’s performance. On average it’s about 15.6 credits per minute. See developer insights - credit earn rate for all the details.

Assuming you’re always the bottom player on the losing team it would take you about 70 hours of pure playtime to earn 50000 credits (math: 50000 credits / 12 credits per minute / 60 minutes per hour = 69.44 credits per hour).

In practice it’s much faster of course because you should win a game every once in awhile and get 500 credits for it. And it will be hard to score lower than a 3/27 Vassili.

You don’t get 500 credits for winning though, just 500 bonus for first win of the day, first objective match, stopwatch match and execution match played.

Which is already an easy 2000 credits though, not even including missions. DB is extremely easy to earn credits in if you do it right.

Complete your missions, that is the most important thing to do.
You get 3 new missions every 3 hours of the day. You can often finish all 3 of those missions in a single match… assuming you do well, and focus on what the mission is for.

Once you are done your missions, play other game modes to collect the first play of the day for those modes. If you still feel like playing, thats cool… but otherwise take a break and come back later once your missions have reset. More easy credits.

i never done any math for the earnings.

i shoot people i get money.
