I don't understand why credits don't carry over? I grinded for several days getting enough credits to do my level X upgrades in NG+. I also don't understand why Bioware don't give us enough credits in this remaster for the third game? It's a remaster, let us enjoy it with all the weapons and upgrades at least. Really puts me off replaying the 3rd game or doing a NG+.We should get 10 times more credits if we play on Insanity! Or if we play on NG+. It's ridiculous how little there is. Note: I'm referring to Xbox. PC players can of course easily give themselves unlimited credits. Maybe if Bioware allows cloud-saves and cross-play, I can edit it on PC. Until then please do something about this.

@SherryarCredits should in fact carry over. I have a NG+ save file on Xbox Series X, I have not even left Earth, and I have 220k+ credits.I see many different reports on credits completely getting wiped from save files, though they are generally connected to the Leviathan DLC (it happened to me as well, haven't found a way to reproduce the bug though).This is the first time I see a post about NG+ credit wipe. Did your game start with absolutely no credits?

Sorry I should clarify. There's a bug where if you save / quit sometimes your credits are wiped out.This one isn't so much of an issue however because I have multiple saves all the time.The main annoyance I have is how little credits are rewarded in ME3 Legendary. I brokered peace between the Geth and Quarians? My reward a measly 25K credits or whatever. I helped cure the genophage and my reward? Another measly 25K credits (I'm generalising the problem rather than specifically how many credits are rewarded - the point is, it's such an insulting reward for the work and hours you put into the game).I play on Insanity and I want to max out various upgrades and try out all the different weapons - is it really so much to ask for more credits?Bioware really need to consider how the whole credit rewards are handled and increase it based on difficulty played. This is a remaster, at least let us enjoy it to its fullest potential. At least half the weapons and items I don't even bother trying out because of this.If some people actually enjoy the measly amount of credits they get on a save the galaxy mission where finances would be a black hole of unlimited investment - give us the option to toggle more/less credits or something. That should keep everyone happy.

@Sherryar The only way to grind for credits is at the end of Citadel DLC and that is better played after Priority Horizon and doing everything. You should get 122k credits, or more depending on how you use them, and grind on the Arena.

At the very least Shepard should have been awarded the same credits he had at the end of ME2, but apperantly that is lore breaking but not starting a NG+ with all the credits awarded on a previous timeline.

The only reason to do a NG+ run in ME3 is to at least get the Gunsmith Trophy/Achievement, at least with the first game you can tell me it's because we can have access to more dialog options using our accumulated Charm/Intimidate points.
It's weird that you don't get the credits transfered as doing a NG+ in ME3 is the only way to have credits transfered over, unlike ME1 to ME2 where now Bioware nerfed the amount of credits we get. I know of a bug that happens and turns your costume Shepard into the generic soldier on level 1 without credits and no skill points (I fixed it easily by loading the closest safe) so there is that.

@draconiamBut getting all the credits at the end of the game what's the point? You already nearly finished it all now. The only way you can make use of it is doing a NG+. I heard of the Armax Arena and frankly I'm surprised Bioware haven't stopped it because they really seem to enjoy making Shepard a poor guy.
Also I would need to grind for days to get the credits to upgrade weapons to level X on NG+.

@Sherryar Upgrading everything is a poor choice honestly, by NG+ you should know what gear is your favorite for the class and just invest in leveling up the weapons you and your team uses as well the MOD on weapons.

I merged your two threads.

Please don't create multiple threads for the same issue.

@draconiamThis assumes I've already tried out all the weapons and decided which are my favourites for which type of play style. And keeping to the same build can get boring.
