Mech ArenaHow to Get the Most Free Credits in Mech Arena
In Mech Arena, A-Coins are the premium currency and Credits the ordinary one. The game hands out A-Coins in a fairly orderly way if you follow its calendar of objectives, tournaments and events.
What is the fastest and most efficient way to get Credits in Mech Arena?
Mech Arena, from Plarium, is a 5v5 mech game in which you buy and rank up mechs, weapons and pilots. A-Coins are used to unlock that gear, to raise ranks and to cover shortfalls in Credits or blueprints when you fall short. Unlike other titles in the genre, the main source here is not the individual match but the system of regular objectives and tournaments, with official support documentation covering every currency source.
Every day
- One gold crate a day, plus credits and experience
Clearing the batch of daily objectives
Every day you get seven mandatory objectives and one optional ad-watching task. Completing all seven hands over a gold crate, and the list refreshes at 00:00 local time without carrying progress over. A couple of Control Point Clash matches, collecting the free steel crate from the shop and buying cheap blueprints with Credits is usually enough to dispatch nearly all of them. There are also six daily pilot objectives: with five completed you collect 50 Pilot Marks.
Every week
- 200 A-Coins guaranteed per batch
Completing the seven weekly objectives
The weekly objectives are the game's only truly fixed source of A-Coins: finishing all seven gets you 200. The detail many people miss is that, once you claim the prize, the list refreshes immediately without waiting for the following Monday, so a consistent player can chain more than one batch a week. Clearing them takes at least four days of activity. Watch out: the optional daily objectives do not count toward the task of completing thirty dailies.
- The largest volume of A-Coins available without paying
Scoring high in tournaments
Tournaments hand out more A-Coins than any other free activity, with the trade-off that the prize depends on your position against other players. They also give out Fortune Keys and Credits. A reasonable tactic is not to dive in on day one: entering a day or two after the start usually matches you with people less focused on the standings, though the prizes in the lower brackets are more modest. It is worth checking the reward table before deciding how much effort to invest.
One time only
- One-off payouts of A-Coins, Credits and keys
Claiming mech achievements
Each mech has its own achievement list tied to usage: damage dealt, victories, specific actions of its ability. They pay out once, but they add up across the account and total a far from negligible amount of A-Coins. The practical upshot is that rotating mechs is rewarded: if you always play the same one, you leave dozens of milestones unclaimed that you could already have collected. Check the achievements tab before deciding which squad to run.
- An exclusive weapon and a resource crate with three invitees
Using the referral programme
From the friends list you can share an invitation link. Anyone who installs the game through that link becomes your referral and receives a welcome gift; you get paid when those players climb to certain league divisions. If three referrals reach Division 1 you get the Cryo Javelin 12 weapon and a Prodigy crate with resources. There are technical conditions: the install must come from the link, be the first on the device, and have ad tracking enabled on both phones.
Events only
- A-Coins by tier, plus blueprints and crates
Chasing event and battle pass milestones
Seasonal events run on cumulative milestones: as you add points you unlock rewards, and several of them are A-Coins. The battle pass adds another reward track that also includes premium currency, Pilot Marks and Implant Parts. Since these calendars overlap with the daily and weekly objectives, the same matches feed several counters at once. That is why concentrating your play in the weeks with an active event returns more than spreading it evenly across the month.
- One-off bundles of A-Coins and crates on notable dates
Keeping an eye out for promo codes
Plarium posts codes irregularly, almost always around holidays or game anniversaries. The official channels where they appear are the in-game news, the Facebook page, Discord, the descriptions on the YouTube channel's videos, the Plarium store and the X account. They are not a source you can count on month to month, so treat them as a bonus: anyone who claims them as they come adds several hundred A-Coins a year.
What does not work
No generator can add Credits to your Mech Arena account: the balance is handled on the game’s servers and there is no way to touch it from outside. If you arrived looking for one, we explain in detail how they work on the inside and why they always end the same way.

What is the fastest way to get 200 A-Coins?
Completing the batch of seven weekly objectives, which is the only fixed payout of that amount. It requires a minimum of four days of activity because some objectives need accumulation. As soon as you claim the prize the list refreshes without waiting for the weekly reset, so anyone playing daily can close more than one batch in seven days and double that income.
What is the difference between A-Coins and Credits?
Credits are the everyday currency: they buy basic mechs, weapons and pilots and raise their levels. A-Coins are the premium currency and are needed to rank up your gear, buy implants, open event crates or change your nickname. They can also be converted into Credits and blueprints when you fall short for an upgrade, though that conversion is expensive and best avoided.
How do you make the most of tournaments with a weak squad?
By entering a day or two after the start, when matchmaking places you with players less invested in the standings. The lower-bracket prizes are smaller than the top ones, but they are still the best source of free A-Coins. It also helps to concentrate your matches on the mode you know best rather than rotating, because scoring depends on accumulated performance, not on hours.
Why are your objective rewards not showing up in your inventory?
If you do not claim a prize in time, the game stores it in your mailbox rather than discarding it, and you can retrieve it from there with no rush. It is also worth remembering that the daily and pilot objective lists reset at 00:00 local time and partial progress does not carry over to the next day, something often mistaken for lost rewards.
