Cards play an extremely important role in Back 4 Blood, allowing players to specialize their characters and gain a variety of perks. However, fans will not have access to every card in Back 4 Blood immediately upon starting their time with the game, as many of them must be unlocked. For those players that are wondering how they can go about obtaining new cards, full details can be found in what follows.
How to Get Cards in Back 4 Blood
Looting
The first way to earn new cards in Back 4 Blood is to simply find them while engaging with the game's campaign. Indeed, cards can be looted from the various containers that are scattered across campaign levels, and they can also be procured from the vendor cases that appear in safehouses. That said, players may not be able to claim every card that they find in this way, as they will need to exchange some amount of Copper for them.
For the uninitiated, Copper is a central currency in this new first-person shooter that comes from several different sources. Perhaps the most common way to obtain Copper is to loot it from within campaign levels, and indeed players will find it in vehicles, on shelves, and even in piles on the ground. Fans can also earn this currency by completing challenges and campaign levels. All of this together means that players will amass a reasonable amount of Copper just by playing the game, and they should not need to put much effort toward farming it.
Supply Lines
The other method for acquiring cards is to unlock them through Supply Lines, which Back 4 Blood players can find in the menu when they are back at camp. To perform these unlocks, fans will need to spend the Supply Points that they have earned from completing campaign levels. Players will not simply be able to pick and choose cards to procure from Supply Lines, though, as they must be worked through in a linear fashion.
This means that fans may need to unlock several Back 4 Blood cosmetics from a Supply Line before they reach a tier that actually contains a card. Players will thus need to exercise a bit of patience as they try to construct the decks of their dreams, as it may take a quite a number of campaign level completions before fans have enough Supply Points to get to and unlock the cards that they have their eyes on.
