Credits

Credits are the standard currency in Warframe. They are used to purchase Weapons, Blueprints, and Consumables from the market. They are used in the Foundry as a cost to create an item from a blueprint. Credits are also used in fusing Mods together to create more powerful versions of a mod.

Every time a player completes a mission, they will normally be given a credit reward dependent upon the difficulty of the mission. Players also receive a team credit bonus equal to one tenth the base mission bonus multiplied by the number of team members in the game (No longer happens post update 7.8, needs confirmation). Alert missions often come with a high credit reward which is added to the missions normal credit reward.

Credits can also be obtained from enemy drops, breaking containers, and searching lockers. They can also be gained by selling Mods, Fusion Cores, Weapons, Warframes, and blueprints from a player's inventory. Resources and Sentinels are the only types of items that can't be sold. Credits cannot be gained with real world money directly.
