FragPunk Tactical Shooter: What Are Shard Cards & How Do They Work
Get ready for FragPunk, launching March 6, 2025! Discover Shard Cards like World Flip, Blade Master, and Turtleback that revolutionize tactical shooter gameplay.
If you’re into tactical shooters like Valorant, then FragPunk might be your next obsession. Developed by Bad Guitar Studio, this 5v5 shooter brings the classic Search & Destroy gameplay—but with a twist. Enter Shard Cards, a game-changing mechanic that lets players alter the battlefield in wild and unpredictable ways.
How Do Shard Cards Work?
During matches, you earn Shards by getting kills, assists, streaks, or picking them up from the ground. Before each round, your team gets to choose from three random Shard Cards, spending Shards to activate them. You can save Shards for later rounds or go all-in for an immediate power boost.
Some of the Craziest Shard Cards
World Flip – Turn Everything Upside Down
This card literally flips the map, forcing players to walk on ceilings. If you can handle the perspective shift, it’s an amazing way to throw off the enemy.
Environmental Chaos – Rain, Fog, and Ice
- Driving Rain: Slows movement with water currents.
- Fog Phantom: Covers key areas in thick fog, making visibility a nightmare.
- Frozen Wasteland: Turns the floor into ice, letting everyone slide around like maniacs.
Big Head & Small Head – Hilarious & Deadly
- Big Head: Makes everyone’s heads huge—easy headshots incoming!
- Small Head: Shrinks heads, making them harder to hit.
Blade Master – Become a Sword-Wielding Jedi
This card lets you deflect bullets with your sword, perfect for aggressive players who love rushing in.
Turtleback – Your Plushie Just Saved Your Life
A cute turtle plushie on your back that blocks bullets from behind. Looks silly, but super useful.
Death’s Embrace – The Grim Reaper Joins In
A Reaper spawns behind injured enemies, marking them for execution if they don’t move fast enough.
Bio-Warrior – The Zombie Comeback
Die? No problem. This card brings you back as a zombie to slash enemies for a few extra seconds.
