===Credit Bounties===
===Credit Farming===
In Halo: Reach, there are many strategies to earning many credits to increase in rank and so on. A very popular technique is shown below.
*A common trick is to go to the 3rd mission, and sprint past all the enemies until you get to the room with the target locator. Fire at the large group of covenant that has probably amassed in chasing you, and move to the back of the blast doors, where you will get a checkpoint. If you have done this correctly, you should get a Killionaire medal each time. Keep reloading the last checkpoint as many times as you want, then finish the rest of the level. With the introduction of custom challenges on Halo Waypoint, it is possible to get 20,000 credits every few seconds with this tactic. This tactic has since been patched.
==Trivia==
*UNSC personnel sometimes casually refer to credits as "credaroos," analogous to the way Americans refer to dollars as "buckaroos."Frank O'Connor/Robt McLees Interview - August 2008
*According to Halo: The Fall of Reach, there are no coins or papers used in the credit system,Halo: The Fall of Reach - Page 23 but in the Audio Logs in Halo 3: ODST, an old woman is heard breaking an ATM with money in the form of coins and presumably paper coming out. Another ATM, found in gameplay, which also houses an Audio Log, is also constantly spitting out money until the Audio Log is collected.
*Credits are used by the player in Halo: Reach to buy Armor Permutations, Firefight Voices, and Armor effects for their Spartan character in the game. These credits also determine Rank.https://g4tv.com/images/3278/Screenshots---Halo-Reach-Customization/56480/
*If a Marine is killed with friendly fire in Halo 3, another one may say, "Okay, now you owe me twenty credits!"
*The headhunters Jonah and Roland would constantly bet credits while on missions.Halo: Evolution - Headhunters
*In Halo: Glasslands, ODST Lian Devereaux makes a passing statement that "...Vaz still owes me ten bucks." This is odd because "bucks" refers to the United States dollar and not a credit. It is possible that the colloquialism passed on to refer to the credit as well.
