Shard Cards are the unique mechanic which sets Fragpunk apart in the crowded landscape of competitive FPS games. Dealt between every round, Shard Cards have far-reaching effects on the next match, ranging from ultra-powerful map-bending physics changes to big head mode, explosive ammo and extra health.
But with more than 160 Shard Cards to effectively choose from (which three you get to choose from is random, of course), it can be overwhelming not just to know which to look out for but which Shard Cards are worth investing in.
To help out, we’ve put together a list of every single Shard Card in Fragpunk, its cost, and which modes it appears in. We’ll then give some context on what we think the best Shard Cards are and which are worth investing in!
For help with which Lancers to pick, here’s our Fragpunk character tier list .
Fragpunk Shard Cards Tier List
At this point just after launch,we’ve arranged the best Shard Cards into three tiers:
- High Tier = An almost must-pick, if you can afford it. These are some of the best Shard Cards in the game and provide a strong tangible advantage in gunfights.
- Middle Tier = These are good, solid Shard Cards which provide either a more situational up-side or a less powerful effect than High tier cards.
- Lower Tier = Lower Tier cards aren’t necessarily bad per say, but usually offer a very situational advantage which is often difficult to activate or leaves you at a disadvantage at the start of a round. These are only recommended as specific counter-picks or if you have spare points.
As the meta-game develops, we’ll change the ranking to reflect the more traditional S-C format.
