The Black Market can be accessed through the loading screen, where the player must select "multiplayer" and then select "public match." Players can then select from the Black Market what they want. But according to the IGN report, players should also be "ready to trade" with the market's mysterious vendor who, as shown in the trailer, does not have time for small talk.
