===How to get money=== {06HGM}

You get money by killing an enemy, assisting in a kill, completing a wave or
completing a bonus money challenge. Probably the best way to make money
quickly is to defeat enemies quickly without getting hit much so that you get
Rampage and Killstreak bonuses. However, there are other ways to make money
that you should consider as well.

==Wave bonus==

At the end of each wave, you receive a bonus reward of money. The amount is
dependent upon the wave that you completed, how long it took to complete it,
how many enemies you killed, how many headshots you got, what your accuracy
was and how much damage you took.

–Wave number–

You receive $25 * the wave that you completed for the starting waves and at
around wave 70 (not totally sure which wave, but it’s somewhere around there),
you receive $50 * the wave that you completed.

–Time–

If you take longer than 90 seconds to complete a wave, you will receive no
bonus for your time. For every second below 90 seconds, you will receive an
extra $2. For example, you will receive only $2 for 89 seconds, but you will
receive $4 for 88 seconds and $174 for 3 seconds.

–Kills–

You receive $10 * the amount of kills that you get. During the harder waves
(again around wave 70), you will receive $50 * the amount of kills that you
get.

–Headshots–

You receive $20 * the amount of headshots that you get. During the harder
waves, though, you will receive $50 * the amount of headshots that you get.

–Accuracy–

You receive $225 for 100% accuracy during the wave (you do have to fire at
least one bullet to get this though, otherwise your accuracy will be N/A) and
for every percent lower than that, you lose $3. At 25%, you no longer receive
a bonus. If you decide to knife enemies during the lower rounds, you can get
extra money by shooting the first enemy once.

–Damage taken–

If you take no damage during a wave, you receive $400. If you receive more
than 200 damage, you receive no bonus. For every damage point less than 200
that you receive during a wave, you receive $2.

As you can see, the bonuses don’t contribute a ton to your total money. If you
run an essentially perfect wave, lets say with 12 enemies on wave 17,
finishing it in 40 seconds with an accuracy of 100% and a headshot every time,
you would only make $955 more than a really bad round (not including
killstreaks, etc). However, if you were to hypothetically run perfect waves
every time and you made it to wave 60 or 80 or something, it would add up.
This wouldn’t work if you were to really try it since the waves get a lot
harder, but you could probably make a couple $10,000 more if you really tried
and got to a very high wave, so it’s worth remembering.

==Bonus money challenges==

There are six challenges that you can complete to gain bonus money. The
challenges reset each round and you can only complete the two challenges that
you were assigned for bonus money. If you complete one of the assigned
challenges you will get $500. If you complete the challenge again (in
the same round), you will get $1000, and so on and so on.

Rampage – This challenge is simple. Just kill four people within a short
amount of time (or more people, if you wait too long between kills). The more
you wait before killing someone, the more the rampage meter will go down. When
it reaches the maximum, you get a money bonus.

Killstreak – This challenge is completed by killing 5 enemies without getting
hurt. If you get hit, then your killstreak will reset.

Headshots – If you get 5 headshots (it doesn’t have to be in a row), then you
will complete this challenge.

Quad Pwnage – Kill 4 enemies simultaneously. You could do this with a predator
missle or with C4 (it works really well if you put C4 at the enemy’s spawn
points).

Flash Kill – Kill five enemies while they are stunned by a flash grenade.

Knife Streak – Knife several enemies to get this bonus.
