Battle fund
See also: Crystals
The easiest and most common way to earn crystals in ProTanki is to complete battles. When players perform actions during the battle, the Battle fund statistic increases. At the end of the battle, the fund is distributed among all remaining players according to specific rules.
The Battle fund statistic is located in the bottom right corner of the Battle HUD as shown below:
Actions that Increase the Fund
Did you know that...
The record of the fund was set during the battle from April 6 to 7, 2025, on the Siege TDM with the title «ЛЕГЕНДЫ ProTanks Делают» during the May Day holiday celebration.
It was 2 435 119

The previous record was 2 368 570 , it was set on April 6th, 2025 during the April Fool's celebrations.
The battle fund accumulates when players perform active actions in battle:
Attention! Healing allies with Isida, returning flags in CTF, and neutralizing points in CP do not add crystals to the fund.
Factors Influencing Fund Growth
Main Factors
- Ranks: the higher the player's rank, more crystals are added into the fund for their destruction and flag delivery.
- Map size: the larger the map (the more players it can accommodate), the more crystals are added to the fund for each action.
Equipment
- Hulls: destroying players using light hulls (Wasp, Hornet) grants about 30% fewer crystals than destroying players with medium and heavy hulls (both medium and heavy hulls contribute the same amount of crystals). Hull modification does not matter. Thus, destroying a Hunter M0 and a Mammoth M3 will give the same amount of crystals (assuming both players have the same rank).
- Turrets: the number of Firebird turrets in a battle significantly affects fund growth. If there are too many, the fund will grow very slowly. This makes the "FB" format unprofitable.
Battle Settings
- Crystal boxes: in PRO Battles, you can disable the drop of both crystal and gold boxes. If both are disabled, the fund grows 60% faster; if only one is disabled — by 30%.
- In the Parkour format, the fund does not accumulate.
- Battle mode: it also affects the speed of fund growth:
- DM: +10%
- TDM: +20%
- CTF: -10%
- CP: 0%
Attention! The current gold box drop rate does not affect fund growth. Even if the drop rate is x5, with crystal drops disabled, the fund will still only grow by 30%.
Summary Table
This table shows the relationship between map size, hull type, player rank, and the number of crystals added to the fund for destroying a player (only the smallest and largest maps are selected to save space). Values are for the DM mode. Fund amounts shown in battle statistics are rounded to whole numbers.

| Action | Fund Growth |
|---|---|
| Flag delivery | When delivering a flag, the fund increases by the same amount of crystals that would have been added by destroying all players of the opposing team. |
| Point capture | Capturing a point adds the same number of crystals as delivering a flag, but half as much. |

During special festivities and promotions, the fund growth rate may increase by a multiple of the normal rate.
Distribution of Battle Fund
When the battle ends, the accumulated fund is distributed to all remaining players in the battle. In Deathmatches, crystals are distributed based on a hidden score, which can be approximated by the number of enemies destroyed. However, this approximation becomes unreliable if the player destroys multiple light hulls or self-destructs many times.
In team modes, the winning team receives the largest portion of the fund. The amount is determined by its lead over the losing team and can range from 60% to 80%. The remaining portion of the fund is given to the losing team.
Within each team, the fund is distributed proportionally based on the players' battle scores. A player from the losing team can receive more crystals than the first player in the winning team, provided they account for the majority of the score on their team.
Note: A player cannot receive any crystals from the fund without a score.
If they are the only player on their team, all crystals allocated to their team will go to waste.
If the battle ends with all players on the same team, the empty opposing team will not receive any crystals.
