Please get decent gear before you go to Silver...

When you have no level X weapons:
Go to Bronze. Buy Two basic packs per extraction.
You get two bronze cards per 1000 credits. Repeat until you have one or two level X weapons you can take to Silver and not be dead weight.

When you have at least one level X weapon and at least one level 10 character (preferably with level X weapon)
Go to Silver. If you get annihilated, or you find yourself feeling like a toddler that is holding on to an adult's leg and getting dragged around, go back to Bronze and git gud/get more basic packs until you get better common weapons.
If you extract, and you actually contribute, use the credits you earn in Silver to buy basic packs until you only have a few commons left to max.
Then move on to Advanced packs

There are too many Black Widow I's in Silver, not enough Viper X's.

I was in one Silver lobby with us all using common level X weapons. It was a cakewalk.
I've been in many Silver lobbies with a ton of people toting level 1 UR's, they made me wish I spent this money on adult websites instead.


Its getting tiresome. Get some half-decent firepower before going to Silver, please!
