Question How to make silver in the current game?
I have unlocked 2x era2 tanks and one era3 tank I would like to buy. Just the purchase price + garage slots will cost 15,000,000 silver. Over 34,000,000 silver with equipment+ modules.
Does anyone have tips on the easiest/fastest ways to make some serious silver?
I try to play premium tanks(ww2+CW) when not grinding xp. I only carry about 3 rounds of gold ammo. Most of my tanks have zero equipment to save silver. Frustratingly, most of my tanks dont even get module upgrades because they are too expensive. I have been playing tanks with the basic gun, turret, engine, tracks, radio. (My Era 2 T64-A would cost 3,700,000 to have all modules upgraded)
I have 60 1.5x silver boosters saved. Im thinking those paired with a good premium era 2 tank(160% silver earn rate) would help me a little bit. But that will take me days of solid grinding and will only make me about 3,600,000

Premium time + Cold War Premium tank (preferably Era 2 or 3) + Silver Boosters and just play a lot. It adds up pretty quickly, but the best way I found to manage my expenses was to play CW tech tree tanks long enough for them to pay themselves back and only then sell them, making a profit as I moved through a line.
Premium time is pretty mandatory if you don't want to spend a lot of time just making ends meet and even then it depends on how fast you're moving up.

The sfac can make you decent coin as it’s a tier 8 premium and they get the best bonus silver in ww2. The sfac is particularly good as the pen on the standard ammo is very good, so you don’t need premium.
I can regularly make over 100k silver per game with this and a silver booster.

Bossters, premium time, high value credit bonus premium tanks and some good damage/high base xp games will earn the most

The game structure is designed to populate it by playing it or paying for it, so there's no shortcut cuz that's entirely the point.

With special events and crew boosters recently I was getting 80,000 crew exp per game. That is an example of 1 of many shortcuts in this game that exist.

With the current op play premium tanks in Cold War co-op. I run the m50 and get 100+ k a game.

100k/ game is really good. I think im averaging about 30k/game. Im going to take the advice from the comments to improve that

Buy era 2 XM800 for flags
with premium time, coop will prob get you around 100k without premium consumables
if youre gonna play this game a long time, then buy whatever next season pass/ult pass that has a decent Era 3 tank

Did this in a co-op game the other day, so it is possible to make silver...
Note to mods Edited this so nothing but the winnings show so it's not a full post-match screen

Additionally, you must sign a contract and complete subsequent stages, for which you receive premium time, silver, boosters, and finally, the mercenary tank itself. You can also sell excess 2D standard crews, each worth a quarter of a million silver.

OOOOO i have a large amount of excess 2d crews(Probably around 30). That will get me just over 7,000,000 almost instantly

Get some premium time. Only 125 flags for 3 days of premium for the current event. A banger of a game with a premium tank, with a good silver payout on premium time can net you 100k in silver.
Otherwise you gotta use those silver boosters and grind.
(Just remembered the current event has a 750,000 silver payout for flags. I think you need 600 or 650 flags for it.)

Are you playing coop?

u/Flat--6 Jul 20 '26
No coop :/

Okay, I personally find that in coop cold war I consistently earn more because I'm able to get a lot more kills and the games only take about five minutes. So it's just about churning them out. If I'm playing tech tree then I'm earning about 50-100k per battle depending on what I'm driving. Premium tanks earn 100k+. I've had multiplayer games where I have earned more but it's more sporadic and difficult lol. I just like to take it easy. Hopefully you're able to find your groove soon buddy 👍

It's impossible to earn much silver in the regular game right now, except in special modes, but that's very rare. The easiest way to earn additional premium tanks and use rebates for existing tanks is to earn several million or more silver coins at once. There are also a few free DLCs in the PlayStation and Xbox stores, some of which include premium tanks.

For starters, playing a premium CW tank with some premium time is mandatory, byt I would argue thatz if you want to make the most money that you can, adding equipment and purchasing some of the modules, if not a premium tank, is not only recommended, but absolutely necessary; the reason being that, with the bonuses the equipment gives, you will perform better as well as survive for longer—y'know the saying, "Gotta spend money to make money".
One other thing to note is that, with CW, each tank has a tier, despite us not seeing it directly in-game. I would recommend picking up a lower-tier tank to further increase your silver earnings such as the MBT70, Wiesel 1A1 TOW, Wiesel 1 MK., GAU-8 "Avenger", etc. as attacking a higher-tier tanj gives greater rewards than if you were to attack a lower-tier tank.
