How to use crates to make GP
Yes i know a thread was already started about making GP, but i couldn't decide which would be better. (Posting in his thread and changing everything he said / or just starting my own and ignoring people who flame that this has already been discussed)
Well the last thread was just criticized and no one seemed to like it. so I opted for not adding to the criticism and decided to make my own.
For starters i would like to say that it does take a bit of luck to start this GP making method. so try it at your own risk.
All you need is 16k gp to start.
1. Buy a set of ten crates.
(don't buy any less or you will be paying more GP per crate obviously)
2. Open the crates till you win a temporary gun.
3. Once you have a gun stop opening crates, save them for later
4. Use the gun until it breaks
temp guns do not have a accuracy reduce penalty when damaged.
You can drop the gun and use others. A gun is damaged based on the time the slot is being used.
Example~ you have a temp m4 on a TD and you drop it and pick a k2.
Since you are using the k2, the primary(m4) gun will still be damaged as if you were still using it. Don't just drop the temp gun and run without using your primary slot. the gun will not be damaged if the slot is not being used.
I know this because I have had temporary pistols that have received no damage because I didn't use them even though it was equipped. some may ask why I didn't use the hand gun... well it was m9 nuff said.
(the slot must be in use, by the gun in bag or by what you pick up.)
Spraying constantly will NOT break your gun faster. damage is entirely based on the time the gun is held in-game.
Once the gun is completely broken it will receive a broken guns accuracy penalty so it will be useless.
but don't go and open more crates just yet.. You'll need to wait till the gun expires to open more or else you will just extend the time you have if you win it again. I think with one of the latest patches winning the gun again repairs it, but I haven't tested this.
If your an active player and break the guns quickly and don't want to wait for the one you have to expire. Opening different crate and breaking another gun while the previous one expires is the best way to go.
The only crates I recommend buying are the Aug-c, anaconda adv, and DEC crates because they have the most 10 k guns.
Anaconda obvioulsy being the best(I found it pretty common to get xm8 and k2 in one crate)
Here is a list of the breaking value of most the guns.
Earn 10k GP breaking these guns
M4
k2
XM8
SG552
awm
famas <-- not sure about this one
psg-1
Earn 2.5k GP breaking these guns
k1a
scar heavy
scar light
I don't know the value of the other guns because i only used the three i suggested.
Another bonus to this method is you will have the chance of winning one of the perm guns. Though don't be surprised if you don't. It took me almost a year of temp gun breaking to get my DEC >.< I did end up with enough coupons to get an m4 c though.
Once you have the extra GP (I'd always keep at least 30 to 40k GP as a buffer) you can spend it on other GP crates you want or buy a perm gun. I randomly bought a single(yes i spent 2k on a single crate) and won Winchester O_o surprised me cause I still hadn't won the DEC after 250+ crates >_<
If you have a stroke of bad luck and lose your GP(you'd have to have a REALLY bad streak to lose 40k and get nothing on these crates) I suggest doing a few surveys and buying a ten set of ZP crates. they give you ten times the GP each crate than the GP crates do.
I hope this helps. I've seen a lot of people make alt acc just to try other guns. But following this guide you get to try some of the best guns and you can buy as many perm guns you want afterwords, as long as you keep breaking temps.
This is what I've got with little to no ZP crates.
(mostly I've spent ZP on my hat, and that, along with surveys got me the m4 silver ^_^)

I'm horrible and never break 10k off in time.
I believe it differs between crates too - my SG552 from the XM8-Adv crate broke for 2.5k GP.
+1 on Ana-Adv being the best, it has 3 of the great rifles. Plus an M9.
As for the K2 pickup issue, it was a recent patch (last 1-3). -
erm...you gradually get the 10k gp...it's not like after you break it the game says, "wow, what dedication! here, have 10k gp for your effort." it's just that the gun itself has a 10k gp lifespan, as in if it was all the way broken, it would take 10k to repair it fully. that being said, you actually get more than 10k due to the fact that games give you more gp than it takes to repair the gun. so let's say on average the game gives you 25 more gp than it takes to repair your weapon. after you've broken it you should accumulate around 11500 gp after you're completely done breaking it (assuming it takes 60 games to break a gun, which it usually takes more than that if it has 10k in health)

Yes the GP made were just estimations. and yes you don't "have" to break the guns.
I just said that cause that way you get the maximum GP possible for the gun. You could just break as much as possible before it expires. but without getting as much as possible from the guns, your not guaranteed to make enough to actually make buying the crates worth while.
I was probably wrong about SG being 10k. sorry its been awhile since I broke that one. -
Nice guide! Also may I suggest, particularly if you're like me who's got some coupons (but isn't gonna get ZP any more -_-), exchanging them for a gun, and breaking them? I think that's a great idea for me, since I only play twice a week, and most of the guns are for 90 days in the Black Market Coupon Exchanges.

I'd just save the coupons. The GP you get from breaking those guns wouldn't be much. You can win coupons from GP crates to, just not as often as ZP crates. But in the long run its better to save. I ended up getting a M4 custom from gp crate coupons.
Be patient and don't throw away the coupons and it will be worth your while.

lol I would save them, but I'm not getting ZP any more...like I said I got them from surveys and while they did give me lots of ZP, it screwed up my computer with viruses and my cell phone keeps getting messages saying "you don't have enough money to be charged" o_O
BTW I got an M4 custom in my 5th crate

lol well do what you want. but as i said before, you don't need zp to get more coupons. -
Why should I play with GP weaps 4 1 year to get some coupon weapons,if I could get a job during the summer holidays,spend the money on zp and get probably even more weapons?
if you think its fun always having GP guns then its the right thing to do,but if not you can do something better with your time
But I wouldnt spend any money on a free online game,if I would want to spend money I`ll go and buy CoD MW2,its way better than crossfire.
I think the best way to get good guns is to make a new account,lvl it to SFC and spend your money on GP crates.
If u get something buy another perm weap in Item Shop.
If not make another account and try it again.
I got an XM8-Adv like this,got a desert eagle and when I play a bit mutation mode I´ll have enough for an AWM.
got this on another account,so pls dont say,that ive other weapons on this account. -

Well considering it was under the 10k category and it has a 2.5k lifespan really lets you down -

As I said, My bad. I'm unable to change what I've already written. SorryMax_Skillz wrote: »I was probably wrong about SG being 10k. sorry its been awhile since I broke that one. -
Just spent 30k on crates, what do I win? NOTHING! Except one thing, yay..Oh wait..Thats an m9..30, 90 items, none of them were any guns except for the m9..? Lottery my ass =(
They hired someone to click what items you get when you spin the **** and sometimes he just feels like ****ing with people and gives you ****, and I happend to be one of those who got ****ed and just got ****. FML.
Your fault!!!!1111 -
Very good guide, Max! Might try it sometime.
Thank you (:terazo70000 wrote: »Just spent 30k on crates, what do I win? NOTHING! Except one thing, yay..Oh wait..Thats an m9..30, 90 items, none of them were any guns except for the m9..? Lottery my ass =(

Wow never seen someone have such terrible luck.... just wow.
but this only works if you play enough to break the guns. don't do this if you only play occasionally
