These are just a few of the new additions. The developers confirmed that over 70 new Shard Cards will be added gradually throughout Chapter 2, giving players more unique ways to make the matches challenging.

Each mode is expected to introduce unique rulesets or challenges that offer a new experience outside standard FragPunk modes.
