How to quickly acquire Phoenix Credits? | Hints The Division Guide

There are numerous ways of acquiring Phoenix Credits (as it was described in the "In-game currencies" chapter). You can, however, use a small exploit in the game, allowing you quickly accumulate large amount of Phoenix Credits. Each time (which takes from 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your gear and your own abilities) you can gain from 1 to 2 Phoenix Credits, from 2 to 4 Superior-ranked items, with a small chance to acquire a High-End item as well. To sum up, in just one hour you will be able to accumulate:

• From 20 to 60 Phoenix Credits (completing all the Daily Quests will net you 80 credits, but completing the mission on Challenge Difficulty, which gives 50, is practically impossible when playing solo).
• From 40 to 80 Superior-ranked items, which can then be sold, or broken down in order to acquire crafting materials - given the fact that each "purple" item gives 2 crafting materials, you will be able to gain from 80 to 160 materials during a single hour.
• A chance for a High-End item - typically, the chance to acquire the said item by killing a boss is about 0.5% (increased by your Scavenger attribute - 100% will turn it into 1%, 200% into 1,5% and so on).

How does it work?

In order to gain all of the above, you have to complete the Police Academy mission, on the Hard difficulty level. You can also invite up to 3 people for the task.

Mobile Cover should be set up like that.

The whole purpose of this method is to skip about 90% of the mission by using a glitch in the game. In order to do so, you will need the Mobile Cover ability, coupled with the Extension mod. When the mission starts, head along the buildings on the left side until you reach a double door, with a police sign above it. The door is locked, which is why you must now use your Mobile Cover ability and aim it in such a way, that the left side of the wall goes through the door (which can be seen on the above screenshot). Drop the cover in the specified way, wait for it to set up and stick to the cover. All you have to do now is to simply "walk" to the left side of the wall (while sticking to it all the time), which should cause you to phase through the door and enter the police station.

Now to take out the boss and his underlings...

With the help of this little glitch you just skipped most of the mission, entering the room just before the final boss. To push the quest further, go through the broken window located in front of the door you've just phased through, turn left and reach the gym. Wait for a short while and activate the ECHO located in the middle of the room. Afterwards, turn back, enter the corridor, turn to the left and reach the computer at the end of the hallway. After a while you will be able to interact with the console, which will begin the last stage of the mission.

...after which you just have to collect the drops and repeat the whole process!

Now you must get back to the room you've entered after phasing through the door, wait for the enemies and kill all of them, until the boss arrives. Eliminate the boss and any remaining enemies, and when the mission is over collect all the items they've dropped. Now you can open up the map, select the Police Academy mission and repeat the whole process as many times as you wish.

Note: This is certainly not the quickest way to obtain Phoenix Credits, as with some luck (if the location wasn't already cleared by other players) and with a good team you can acquire a lot more of this precious currency in the Dark Zone. But everything comes down to luck - the above described method is a dependable and constant source of Phoenix Credits, as well as crafting materials.

Note - this method is simply an exploit, which requires you to use a loophole in the game. This won't get you banned or punished in any way, but there's a high chance that it will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches and will simply stop working. When this chapter was written (version 1.02) the method was still working.
