The Black Market is a major feature of Combat Arms. It was first released in the 10-1-08 Patch.

Overview[]

The Black Market, like the Shop, carries many different items to choose from. Unlike the Shop, however, the items sold here are exclusively bought with NX.

The benefit of obtaining items through the Black Market is ease of access, bypassing the rank restrictions on weapons that would otherwise require a high rank. Furthermore, items from the Black Market carry an advantage over standard GP items, further increasing their demand.

Mercenaries, special function items, and other exclusive gear and weaponry can be obtained here.

Updates[]

  • As of the 2/4/09 Content Update, all Black Market items have lost their rank restrictions.
  • As of the 4/10/10 Content Update, Black Market items can now be bought online through the CA website.
  • As of XXX, Black Market purchases now affect the Grade system.
  • As of XXX, only players with a Bronze Grade can enter the (now defunct) Black Market server. The amount of NX required to reach Bronze has increased to $25–30, and a lesser grade of Copper was introduced.

Trivia[]

  • The Black Market is the origin of the phrase, "Free to play, pay to win".
  • Nexon had originally promised that items bought here would only be cosmetic; but they gradually started improving NX items (the first being Mei and the HDS-4).
  • Currently, all standard Black Market firearms can be bought for a permanent duration; this is ultimately the smartest choice in spending NX for its value.
  • In Combat Arms EU, all weapons can be bought for a permanent duration.
