Last War Black Market Guide: Best Items & How to Get Cash

Hello players! The Black Market opens during the Season Celebration period as each season in Last War: Survival Game comes to an end. This limited-time event lasts four weeks and offers players a chance to purchase discounted upgrade materials, decorations, and exclusive items. Today, LDShop breaks down how the Black Market works and highlights the items worth buying, so you can prepare for the next season as efficiently as possible.

What is Black Market?

The Black Market event helps players strengthen their accounts before the next season. During the event, players can buy discounted items and special bundles, claim daily free rewards, and obtain upgrade materials to improve heroes, equipment, and overall power. It benefits both free-to-play and paying players, making it a good chance to progress faster.

What is Black Market Cash?

To purchase items in the Black Market, players must use a special event currency called Black Market Cash. There are several ways to obtain this currency, and many of them are completely free during the event period. By participating in event activities and completing related tasks, players can steadily collect Black Market Cash over time.

Moreover, unused Black Market Cash does not disappear after the event ends. Any remaining currency will be saved and can be used in the next season’s Black Market, allowing players to accumulate currency for future events if they choose not to spend it immediately.

 

How to Get Black Market Cash

Paid Packs

• On the Black Market page, tap the “+” icon next to your Black Market Cash to view purchase options.
• A daily special pack offers 800 Black Market Cash for $5.99, making it one of the best-value options.
• Players can also buy 100 Black Market Cash for about $1.
• Larger bundles are available at $10, $20, $50, and $100 price tiers.
• Most packs have daily purchase limits. Players planning to spend should check the shop regularly to catch available deals..

Bingo Task Event

• During the first week of the event, players can earn Black Market Cash through the Bingo Task Event.
• The event features a task board with various missions. Completing a task reveals a square and rewards 50 Black Market Cash. Some tasks require multiple days to complete, so consistent participation is important.
• Completing a row or column grants 400 Black Market Cash.
• Finishing the entire board provides a larger bonus, including 1,500 Black Market Cash.

Duel Fireworks and Grand Celebration

• Players can also earn Black Market Cash through the Champion’s Duel Grand Celebration event.
• Players send fireworks earned from daily tasks to contribute to their warzone’s progress. Each firework sent rewards 20 Black Market Cash.
• As more fireworks are sent, milestone chests unlock across the server. These chests contain Black Market Cash rewards ranging from 100 to 1,000.
• Unlocking all rewards requires strong participation from players in the same warzone.

Black Market Cash Challenge

• During Weeks 2–4, the Black Market Cash Challenge replaces the Bingo Task Event. Players earn Black Market Cash by completing regular in-game activities.
• Tasks include Radar Tasks, defeating Doom Elites, killing Zombies, attacking the World Boss (up to 5 times), defeating Invading Zombies, and eliminating Doom Walkers. These activities can reward up to 600 Black Market Cash per day.
• Players can also earn extra Black Market Cash through Secret Mobile Squad tasks. These rewards do not count toward the daily limit.
• Sending Legendary (UR) tasks provides the highest amount of Black Market Cash.

Champion’s Duel Prediction

• Once the Knockout stage begins in the Champion’s Duel, players can use the prediction feature to earn extra Black Market Cash.
• Players can make up to five predictions per day on upcoming matches. Each prediction requires staking 50, 75, or 100 Black Market Cash.
• If the prediction is incorrect, the wagered amount is fully returned. If the prediction is correct, the reward is multiplied by the match multiplier (usually 2×–5×).

 

Item Types in Black Market

Free Items

• Free items appear regularly in the Black Market and should always be claimed with all players having a chance to receive free rewards.
• The shop can be refreshed daily, which may reveal additional free items.
• Always claim the current free reward before refreshing the store to avoid missing extra freebies.

Discounted Items

• These deals often offer good value for Black Market currency, especially for low spenders and mid spenders. They are also useful for players who mainly rely on event rewards.
• However, not every discounted item is worth buying. Players should carefully evaluate each deal before purchasing.

Regular Price Items

• Items sold at regular price do not include discounts or bonus value. These purchases are generally not recommended for most players.
• Better deals are usually available elsewhere in the shop. They are only worth buying if you specifically need the items in the bundle..

 

Best Items to Buy in Black Market

Top Priority

• The Exclusive Weapon Shard Choice Chest is considered one of the most valuable items. These shards are used to upgrade hero exclusive weapons.
• Upgrading exclusive weapons improves hero performance and increases march power while exclusive weapons continue to scale even after heroes reach maximum star level.
• Because of their long-term benefits, this chest is highly recommended for players at most stages of the game.

High Value Purchases

Decorations

• Decorations are valuable because they provide permanent stat bonuses to your account and these boosts apply continuously and increase overall power over time.
• Many decorations are hard to obtain through normal gameplay. The Black Market event is a good opportunity to unlock them.
• If you don’t have these decorations yet, it can be a smart long-term investment.

Random Chest

• The Random Chest can offer better overall value than the choice version and it lets players select a specific chip.
• The random chest usually costs less, allowing players to obtain more chips for the same currency. These chips help upgrade drones and improve overall combat performance.

Good Purchases

SSR Skill Chip Chests

• A more affordable option for improving drones as they provide a good number of chips for their cost.
• Even if the chip is not the ideal one, it can still be used for drone upgrades. This ensures the purchase remains useful even though SSR chips are weaker than UR chips.

Situational Purchases

Resource Chests

• Resource chests provide large amounts of Iron and Bread, which help speed up building and technology upgrades.
• They are useful for players below HQ Level 30 or those who need resources for urgent upgrades.
• For higher-level players, it’s usually better to prioritize permanent progression items, such as hero upgrades or decorations.

Gear Blueprints

• Gear blueprints are used to upgrade equipment and improve hero performance. They can also be obtained from other game modes, such as Desert Storm, Warzone Duel, seasonal rewards, and capital events.
• Because they are available elsewhere, gear blueprints are usually not a top-priority purchase in the Black Market.

 

Items not Recommended

Skill Medal Chests	Generally, not worth buying because skill medals are easy to obtain through normal gameplay, especially from daily missions and Arms Race rewards.
Valor Badges	Can be useful early in the game, but they quickly lose value as the season progresses, making them a poor purchase for most players later.
Speedups	May look appealing, but they usually offer less long-term value than permanent upgrades such as decorations or hero improvements.
Resource Choice Chests	A weak option since resources can typically be gathered or earned through regular gameplay.
Dielectric Ceramics	Not worth purchasing. Most players only need enough ceramics to equip one main combat squad, so buying additional amounts usually provides little benefit.

 

Shop Refresh Strategy

The Black Market shop refreshes daily, giving players multiple opportunities to collect free rewards during the event. To maximize your gains, always claim the available free item first, then refresh the shop to check if another free reward appears.

Players can refresh the shop up to 8 times per day. Each refresh replaces all current items with six new ones, so make sure to purchase anything you want before refreshing. The first refresh is free, while the following refreshes cost 10 diamonds, with the final refresh costing 30 diamonds. Considering the potential value of the items that may appear, using all refreshes each day is generally recommended.

The Black Market draws from a limited pool of items, which can vary by season. Each refresh randomly selects items from this pool, and it’s possible for the same item to appear multiple times.

 

Conclusion

To get the most out of the Black Market in Last War: Survival Game, always start by claiming the available free rewards. When spending currency, prioritize permanent upgrades over temporary resources, and focus on items that strengthen your heroes, drones, and overall long-term account power. It’s also wise to avoid purchasing items that can be easily obtained through regular gameplay. To fully unlock this event’s features, consider topping up Last War: Survival through LDShop.
