How to unlock Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel secret packs

Unlocking Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel secret packs is fairly simple.

In order to unlock secret packs, you’ll need to first obtain Super Rare (SR) or Ultra Rare (UR) cards from the game’s booster packs. A key for that secret pack is then awarded to the player, which can then be used to open the pack. 

Keys can also be obtained from completing missions in the game’s story mode. It may not be the quickest way to unlock secret packs, but with a little extra time, it can be a great way to earn some free cards.

Sadly, these secret packs aren’t free, with 100 Gems needed to purchase each one. It’s also important to note that once you have a key for a secret pack, you only have 24-hours to unlock it. So it’s worth keeping some gems in reserve in case you find the pack you really want.

Secret packs are virtual booster packs that give players the opportunity to obtain cards for a specific deck or that follow a certain theme. As you play through the game, you’ll naturally acquire Gems, which can then be used to unlock secret packs, giving you access to new and powerful cards.

You can also spend real cash to acquire the gems, too.
