The details are not accurate in terms of Armory Pass grind.

]A simple explanation-
Deathmatch: per credit requires around 1,600 scores
Casual & Comp: - credit progress depends on your score (I know this bcz I did not get more than 1 cred despite winning cz I was at the bottom of my team)
Arms Race: 22-25% progress of 1 credit per match reaching knife

Deathmatch is the Best Modes for Armory Pass Grind.
