Campaign has the easiest way to gain Cr fast, 10 minutes for nearly 25k in fact.

Medals : 600 = 5000 Cr
Kills with Weapon, Target Locator : 1,023 = 4955 Cr (It's kind of pointless to type in more, as the game stops counting at 1,023)
Kills of Enemy : Grunt Hero 175 = 5000 Cr
Kills of Enemy : Jackal Spec. 300 = 5000 Cr
Kills of Enemy : Skirmisher Spec. 200 = 5000 Cr

Be sure the 'Constraint' section is filled out for every goal to maximize the Cr output.
Oni, Heroic, all skulls save Iron, Blind, and Cowbell.
All 3 hour time limits.

Save and quit every 6-10 minutes on the game timer and refresh/turn in/recreate any challenges you finished.

Rinse, repeat for 3 hours.
Easy money.

The way to easily see the maximum Cr you can get per each playlist type, simply put in the maximum number of kills/medals/etc, which is 9,999, the Waypoint challenge system won't register a higher number.

Once you type in the 9,999 Cr, type in the minimum hours, which is 3, anything less will revert to 3 hours for a payout anyway. Then see what the payout is.

After that, find out the absolute minimum amount you need to hit the maximum payout within the 3 hours, and for campaign be sure to add in any Constraints, while the page say it's "not necessary", It does increase the amount of Cr you will receive for any challenge.
Above is the best method in Campaign. I've tried a few for Matchmaking, but the only way to reach it's maximum is to spawn kill in Grifball, otherwise the amount of kills is rather impossibly high.
