Prices for Rainbow Six: Siege Credits (A mathematical Breakdown)

Credits are one of the main in-game currencies in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, and they are undoubtedly the best currency to own, as they unlock nearly everything. Today’s guide will show you how you can acquire credits in Rainbow Six Siege, and how much they will cost you. If you want to purchase in-game content and credits but can’t due to an error, here’s a guide on how you can fix issues related to R6 credits.

Credits in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege comes with a lot of purchasable in-game items. You can buy different renditions of nearly anything that can be customized, and there’s a lot of ground to cover when it comes to microtransactions and general customization. Items like weapon skins and uniform reskins have always been the main attraction in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, and all of that content requires you to buy credits in-game.

In order to be able to buy credits in-game, you need to choose one of the many currency packs that Ubisoft Entertainment offers you. These currency packs give you a predetermined amount of in-game credits that you can then choose to spend on whatever you want in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.

Currency Packs

Currency packs are a great way to instantly buy a set amount of credits in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. The prices vary depending on the currency pack in question, and you’ll instantly how much each one costs. However, what most people do not know when buying these is what each one is realistically for.

What can you buy with 600 R6 Credits?

Alright, now that we’ve gotten the list of currency packs out of the way, let’s explain what you could realistically get for buying the first two currency packs.

The first option, which is 600 credits, is enough to get you one seasonal operator or an epic weapon skin, we don’t recommend buying this repeatedly if you need more than one or two items though. The second option basically doubles the amount of the first one, and it’s great for situations where you want an operator and a custom armor piece.

Additional Credit Bonuses

Now, the remaining currency packs will all come with a specific amount of additional credits as a bonus when you buy them. Packs that give additional credits cost more, but they’re useful for people who prefer to buy a lot of credits. These are all of the packs that give additional credits:

The credit bonuses that one can get by buying more expensive currency packs is clever because it incentivizes people to buy more. But even then, this works both ways due to the fact that you can actually buy good-looking stuff with the added credits that you receive.

How much do 1800 R6 Credits cost?

One of the most popular questions surrounding credits in Rainbow Six Siege is how much 1800 credits cost. This question is asked often because of the fact that elite skin bundles cost 1800 credits, and when converted into real-life money, an elite skin would set you back about $16. Unfortunately, there aren’t any currency packs that offer you only 1800 credits, so you’re going to have to settle for the 2400 credits currency pack that costs $19.99 if you want an elite skin.

Buying the 2400 currency pack and then getting yourself an elite skin will leave you with some leftover credits; 870 credits to be precise. Realistically, 870 credits would be enough to buy one operator and weapon skin, which is an awesome deal whichever way you put it. Buying currency packs that cost more can actually help you save money in the long run.

Weapon Skins & Bundles

Now that you know how much each currency pack costs, what should you buy if you ever do decide to get yourself some credits? Well, there are countless options, and in-game content ranges from bundles to weapon skins that are sold separately. Other content includes uniforms, charms, and much more.

When planning out what to buy, you should first take a look at what all of the in-game bundles can offer you. Bundles will, in most cases, contain one item of each type, which is why they’re optimal for people who can’t decide what they want. Not only that, but having a pair of themed items is always good.

Additionally, bundles can sometimes also come out cheaper than if you were to individually buy all of the items within. They will also usually have a soldier icon indicating which operator they’re for.

Moving on, weapon skins are also a great option for people looking to spend their credits wisely. Let’s face it, you’re going to spend most of your time in matches looking at your guns, so why not look at something stylish and pleasant instead? There are so many beautiful weapon skins available for purchase in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, and we highly recommend spending your credits on them.

As for operators and uniforms - there’s a lot of hype around seasonal operators and custom uniforms, but uniforms and armor pieces are usually tucked away in bundles, so you’ll be able to collect a few extraordinary pieces whilst hunting for themed bundles. Seasonal operators and the newest operators shouldn’t really be bought with credits, as you can easily grind your way to 25000 Renown with boosters. Instead, look into getting Seasonal Passes, those will help you save money on the newest operators.

Where Can You Buy R6 Credits?

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege credits can not only be bought in-game, there are some other sources that allow you to purchase currency packs. One of these is the official Ubisoft store online, where you can buy all of the currency packs you find in the actual game itself. This store will be marked with a Ubisoft logo, and you can visit it via this link. An IT developer could clean up that website a bit, but it still serves its purpose well enough.

If you’re playing on an Xbox Series console, there are some third-party stores and official stores that can sell you Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege currency packs. These are stores like Amazon, Eneba, G2A. Beware that currency pack listings might not be available for some other countries on Amazon. As for third-party websites, deals for currency packs there are sometimes cheaper.

With all of that being said, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege has a lot to offer, and Credits are surely going to allow you to explore most of it. All in-game currencies hold some sort of value, but only if they’re worth investing in. Ubisoft Entertainment Montreal worked hard and made sure to give a lot of depth to the in-game content in this game, which is why the credits themselves hold so much value.
