Earning Boosters and Cards
You have opened your first boosters and you are wondering how to fill up the rest of your collection? Here are all the ways to earn boosters or cards directly on Élite Dangereuse.
Earning boosters
Complete adventures
This is the simplest method: complete an adventure to receive 1 booster. The three CMDRs on the podium receive one extra booster, for 2 boosters in total.
Complete the Weekly Galactic Missions
Every Thursday at 7 a.m. UTC, five new Weekly Galactic Missions become available. Complete all five before they are renewed to receive 5 boosters and a badge.
Take part in the Galactic Missions
The Galactic Missions are limited-time community events. Contribute to at least one stage to receive the final reward. What the rewards contain depends on the mission; CMDRs in the Top 10 also get the bonus set for the event.
Help with the Colonization of BED
Deliver resources for the Colonization of BED and cross the contribution tiers. The tiers range from 1,000 t to 4,500,000 t and grant larger and larger boosters, plus a badge for each tier reached.
Support the site on Patreon
Link your account on the Patreon page. As long as your support is active, rewards are synchronized every month: 1 booster for the Classic tier and 3 boosters for the Elite and Triple Elite tiers.
Refer a new CMDR
From your profile, open the Referral window and share your link. When a new CMDR signs up with that link, they receive 3 boosters and you receive 5 boosters, plus a referral badge.
Publish an adventure
The CMDRs behind a published adventure receive 1 booster and the Writer badge. Have a look at the adventure creation guide to get started.
Use gift codes
Codes may be handed out during events, inside articles, or hidden somewhere on the site. Enter them in the Gift code field of your collection. A code can only be used once per CMDR and may give one or more boosters.
Take part in special events and livestreams
Keep an eye on our events and our Twitch livestreams: booster codes may be handed out live on air. During some streams, boosters are also hidden inside the Ship Interiors: explore them during the livestream to try to find them and claim them.
Earning cards directly
Win games in Galactic Clash
In Galactic Clash, every rewarded win adds a card directly to your collection. In solo, the first daily win against each AI of each mode is rewarded: the easy AI gives a Common, the normal AI a Common or a Rare, and the difficult AI a Rare. In duel, a win against the same opponent can earn a Common or a Rare once a day, across all modes.
Find a code that gives a card
Not all gift codes give boosters: some directly add the card the code stands for. They are entered in the same place, in your collection.
In short: play the adventures and the missions every week for boosters, take part in the events as soon as they show up, and play Galactic Clash to get cards without waiting to open a pack.
