Credits are the in-game currency used to purchase [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutations]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Credits are rewarded from gameplay actions, progression in [[List of Halo: Reach commendations|Commendations]], and completing [[Challenges/Halo: Reach|challenges]]. They also function as [[Experience point]]s by contributing to the player [[Rank (Halo: Reach)|rank]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach'''</ref> | |||
===''Halo: Spartan'' series=== | |||
Credits are used in ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'' and ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'' to purchase additional power weapons, armor abilities and boosters. In ''Spartan Assault'', players can choose to purchase these upgrades by spending XP (earned by playing the game) or by purchasing cR with real-world currency. In ''Spartan Strike'', credits are earned in-game instead of XP, and real-world currency microtransactions are not present. | |||
===''Halo Infinite''=== | |||
In ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', Credits are the in-game currency for purchasing in-game items, including the [[Battle Pass]], consumables like the XP Boost and XP Grant, [[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|armor customization]], [[Armor coatings (Halo Infinite)|armor coatings]], and [[Weapon coatings (Halo Infinite)|weapon coatings]]. | |||

*Despite the universal usage of credits as currency throughout the UEG, "dollars" have occasionally been mentioned in reference to the standing unit of currency in the ''Halo'' universe. In the original edition of ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', it is mentioned that "trillions of dollars" have been spent in the research of Covenant culture,<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 232'' (2001 edition)</ref> although this is changed to "credits" in the 2010 reissue.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 264'' (2010 edition)</ref> In ''[[Halo: Glasslands]]'', [[Margaret Parangosky|Admiral Parangosky]] states that [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] escaped with "billions of dollars' worth of UNSC resources".<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 49''</ref> In the trailer of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', there are monitors that are intended to announce information to citizens. One of the messages says "Your tax '''dollars''' at work." However, this can be understood as an idiomatic usage of the iconic phrase as opposed to a literal reference to the functioning currency. | *Despite the universal usage of credits as currency throughout the UEG, "dollars" have occasionally been mentioned in reference to the standing unit of currency in the ''Halo'' universe.

*In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', when meeting [[John-117]] for the first time and showing him an antique US [[quarter]], Dr. Halsey states that "People used coins like this for currency a long time ago, when Earth was the only planet we lived on," suggesting that there are no coins or papers used in the 26th century.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 25'' (2001 edition)</ref> However, in the [[audio log]]s 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. It is unknown whether this is an oversight or if the currency is different than credits. However, in light of the information in ''ODST'', Halsey's comment could be interpreted as referring to the specific type of coin alone, as opposed to physical currency altogether. | *In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', when meeting [[John-117]] for the first time and showing him an antique US [[quarter]], Dr. Halsey states that "People used coins like this for currency a long time ago, when Earth was the only planet we lived on," suggesting that there are no coins or papers used in the 26th century.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 25'' (2001 edition)</ref> However, in the [[audio log]]s in ''Halo 3: ODST'', an old woman is heard breaking an ATM with money in the form of coins and presumably paper coming out.
