| The agency begins the game with 500 credits, and can acquire more credits by [[:stealing]] from [[:guards:]], looting [[:mainframe devices:Corporate Safes]] and some other devices, selling [[:items:]] and [[:programs:]], exfiltrating some [[:items:#special items]] for credit rewards, and completing the objectives of some [[:missions:]] or [[:missions:#side-missions]]. | The agency begins the game with 500 credits, and can acquire more credits by [[:stealing]] from [[:guards:]], looting [[:mainframe devices:Corporate Safes]] and some other devices, selling [[:items:]] and [[:programs:]], exfiltrating some [[:items:#special items]] for credit rewards, completing the objectives of some [[:missions:]] and [[:missions:#side-missions]], or from some other sources. |

| The amount of credits gained from most sources is adjusted by a **credit multiplier**, which is determined by the [[:modes:|game difficulty setting]] and the [[:mission difficulty]] level. In general, the base number of credits shown in in-game tooltips (and shown on this wiki) is not the true number of credits you will receive, so for example a [[:items:Research Experiment]] is nominally worth 500 credits, but is worth only 375 credits when the credit multiplier is 0.75. | The amount of credits gained from most sources is adjusted by a **credit multiplier**, which is determined by the [[:modes:|game difficulty setting]] and the [[:mission difficulty]] level.

| After being adjusted by the credit multiplier, numbers of credits are generally rounded up to the next multipler of 10; credits from [[:stealing]] are additionally adjusted by the agent's [[:skill#Anarchy]] skill level bonus, after rounding. | After being adjusted by the credit multiplier, numbers of credits are generally rounded up to the next multipler of 10; credits from [[:stealing]] are additionally adjusted by the agent's [[:skill#Anarchy]] skill level bonus, after rounding. |
