Where To Find Black Markets?
Epic Games has added three different Black Markets, each in unique locations. One can be found just south of Magic Mosses. Look for the market logo on your map to find its exact spot.
You can meet the Joss NPC at this spot.
The second Black Market is located just north of Crime City, on the eastern part of the map. During our playthrough, we discovered the Gold Rush Boon available there.
