There are tons of different and unique rewards players can get in Battlefield 2042, and earning Dark Market Credits is a great way to unlock them. It's not easy getting Dark Market Credits, although honing in on them to get special rewards is highly coveted. The grind in collecting Dark Market Credits can be long, but there is a faster way to get them all.
When it comes to the Dark Market Credits in Battlefield 2042, the only place to get them is in the Hazard Zone. The Hazard Zone is a team-based mode where extracting data drives is the primary goal. The extraction part will feel familiar for players of Division 2's Dark Zone and the Raids of Escape From Tarkov. The Hazard Zone will have both human and AI opponents, called the Occupying Force, to contend with for the data drives.
There are a few different sources for getting Dark Market Credits in Battlefield 2042. One way of getting the Dark Market Credits is by gaining XP, and another is by gaining intel. Every team member can carry three data drives, and with a team of four, that means 12 data drives can get extracted at the most. Therefore, the team's biggest priority is to get as many data drives extracted as possible, giving the most Dark Market Credits.
How To Get Dark Market Credits Quickly In Battlefield 2042
Extracting data drives in Battlefield 2042 might be the way to get the most Dark Market Credits, but with so many possible pitfalls in the way, it might not be the fastest. For one, making sure that each player has three data drives in itself is a chore. An excellent way to get as many data drives as possible is to pick up the free scanner in the shop to find them. Using the scanner will bring players to crashed pods that hold drives in its panels for easy pick-up.
Alternatively, the scanner can help find enemies with data drives, and then players can collect them once they get eliminated. Getting data drives can get a bit sneaky, players can camp out at extraction sites and wait for another Battlefield team to extract and steal their data drives. An excellent defensive tactic to secure extractions is to have one person extract, at a minimum, so that players get some rewards at the end. Extracting is so essential because if players don't extract, they won't earn any Dark Zone Credits.
Battlefield 2042 is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
