Cash is the primary currency in Warzone, used at Buy Stations to acquire essential items, killstreaks, and even bring back fallen teammates. Mastering cash management is vital.
Earning Cash:
- Loot Boxes: The most common source of cash.
- Contracts: Completing contracts (Bounty, Scavenger, Recon, Supply Run, Most Wanted) provides significant cash rewards.
- Eliminating Enemies: Enemies drop a portion of their carried cash upon elimination.
- Cash Piles: Small stacks of cash can be found on the ground.

Buy Station Strategy:
- Prioritize Loadout: Your first $10,000 should almost always go towards a Loadout Drop.
- Buy Back Teammates: If a teammate is eliminated, pooling cash to buy them back is a top priority.
- Armor Plates: Always keep your armor topped up by buying plate bundles.
- Self-Revive: Purchase one if you don't have it.
- UAVs: Excellent for intel, especially in the mid-to-late game.
- Supply Run Discount: Completing a Supply Run contract gives a temporary discount at a specific Buy Station, making purchases cheaper.
Note: Buy Stations are often contested areas. Be cautious when approaching them.
