you can play one each mission (like one after you reach a saferoom), it only lasts that 1 mission, if you fail while its active its effects go away and I dont think you can play another one until you reach the next saferoom and Im pretty sure you can select a burner card after you pick your main cards (by pressin B im pretty sure)

Burn card is a good system. You basically get an extra buff per stage, x4 if everyone uses one. It also give supply point a reason to exist after unlocking everything. All good as long as they keep coming up with new and interesting buffs.

It doesn't eat up a card slot, it's additional. But make sure to select a burn card before your last pick of that round because it will lock you out once you do

Edit : nevermind forgot you can just press B to select your burn card if you haven't

Are burn cards good? i saw one that gives a modded smg… that’s pretty vague is it a useless white smg or a perfect one?

I'd like to know the weapon cards as well. What determines their rarity? So far I've used Mercenary and the one that gives everyone 150 copper. It's really useful for missions where you fail the objective.

It's RNG obviously but I think it gives you a white weapon at the start of the ACT and after first checkpoint you start getting green weapons. I didn't test this so I don't know the consistency but that's what happened when I tried to get a gun by burners.

There are some very good ones. I think I saw one that gives everyone on the team the ability to break out of grabs and lowers the cooldown.

Yeah i love this one. There's also one that heals 15 trauma damage but I only ever got one. I also like the mercenary (1 copper per kill).

Actually I have a question about this. Does Mercenary stack? Does this mean if you have 4 mercenary burners on, everyone gets 2k gold (assuming they maxed the kills)

duration: 1 chapter/level
on continue: card effect disappears, can't pick a second burner on the same saferoom after continues
card slots: burner cards are not a pick, you can pick them after completin your picks by press B on keyboard or Y/Triangle on controller at the screen where it shows all your current cards after doing your pick
I wonder if this Burn Card is only for the Christmas event? I better stock up if this is a seasonal thing.

burner cards are on all lanes and will likely be there forever since they keep restocking.
when they add new stuff they will probably just shuffle it in between burn cards like they did with the christmas stuff.

a combination of burner cards and also when you take over a bot currently, you keep all their cards (including character card) which usually includes copper scavenger, so there's tons of money everywhere
