Dirty Bomb Presents: Steam Trading Cards!

(MissMurder) #1

Today, we’re proud to reveal that Dirty Bomb has ranked up on Steam with the addition of Steam Trading Cards! For our experienced players on Steam, you’re already aware of the benefits these cards bring to the table, but if Dirty Bomb is your first foray into the sport of collectible card trading, read on below for more information.

How do I get Steam Trading Cards?
We have 9 different Mercs represented.

You earn cards by purchasing items such as Elite Cases and Boosters, or buying new Mercs with cash. For every $9.00 USD you spend on Dirty Bomb, you’ll be eligible to earn another random Dirty Bomb Steam Trading Card as a bonus. If you haven’t purchased our Ultimate Starter Pack yet (25% off during this current Summer Sale), be aware that it will also come with 3 additional cards!

A final way to get Dirty Bomb cards is via the Steam Marketplace, where you can buy / sell / trade your way to a full set with other players, which comes with some extra advantages.
Did we mention there are also special Foil versions of each card that are extra rare? If you collect all 9 Foil Cards, there’s a coveted treat waiting for you.

What can I do with these cards?
With all 9 Dirty Bomb Trading Cards collected, you will be able to craft a Dirty Bomb Steam badge! These badges come with some Steam-specific perks, such as raising your profile level, unlocking backgrounds, and of course, the highly coveted chat emotes featuring some very special Merc faces.

Every time you craft a Dirty Bomb badge from 9 cards, you’ll level up your badge, similar to our current loadout cards. Start at Lead and work your way all the way to Gold. Want to go one step further? Use those very rare foil cards to get the elusive Cobalt badge and have your profile really shine.

Glad to see this is getting more attention on steam. I’m just waiting for that SCM to open up for the load-outs so we can get some moolah for our lucky finds

I bought merc starter pack in closed beta so even assuming that this statement is false:
“The first way is to just play Dirty Bomb. You’ll be able to earn up to 5 random cards (duplicates can occur) for free.”
I should have drops enabled.

I like how the picture you’re using to promote the backgrounds is of a profile with a VAC ban.

will those who bought the starter pack get the cards? i litteraly just bought mine like two days ago =\

Awesome, least it isn’t like other free to play games like, “if you buy this, you get this really OP weapon that makes you invincible for an hour if you take a step!”
This is why Dirty Bomb is one of my favorite free to plays.

How do you get to that page? Steam is such a maze.

That’s the Steam preview profile for your backgrounds. Don’t think the person actually exists :slight_smile:

2/10 no Fletcher card. :frowning:

EDIT : it’s me or Fragger looks like Gordon Freeman ?

6/10 Fragger is Gordon Freeman confirmed.

I see the OP has been edited to remove the following quote:
“The first way is to just play Dirty Bomb. You’ll be able to earn up to 5 random cards (duplicates can occur) for free.”
This of course makes sense, giving the cards for free would not occur in a f2p game as you could continually make new accounts to farm cards. There is a $10 qualifier in place.

I have met this qualifier by purchasing the merc starter pack during closed beta as you can see here:


This cost £15 iirc, that’s over the $10 requirement for card drops to activate. This isn’t the biggest deal, it’s just cards but previous games have counted past purchases towards the number enabling card drops. Namely, TF2 I originally purchased, when it became F2P and cards were enabled I was eligible for drops. Loadout, I bought into the closed beta and when it became F2P and cards were enabled I was also eligible for drops, surely it should be the same with Dirty Bomb?

Where’s Skyhammer??!?

(Daergar) #13

I assume this [bonus cards based on money spent] is not retroactive for those of us who supported you before this?

Or would I not be getting any drops at all if I had not spent money, so all is well? Confusion!

(supreme) #14

Purchased the starter pack a week ago, does this mean I won’t be getting the 3 additional trading cards?

(distinquishedSandwich) #15

Now we await the time for when we can trade load out cards!

That’s the old school Fragger from the early days of the game. The Freeman resemblance might be why they redid him, but the consensus back then was that he was based on Loki (Paul Wedgwood, CEO of Splash Damage) :wink:

Now add support for trading loadout cards so we don’t get stuck with bum cards! :wink:

(ResidentDoom) #18

(JohnzBallad) #19
