List of Loadout Card Variants [Final Update]

As of the Lead & Iron Update[www.dirtybomb.com], Default loadouts have been changed and now provide a complete set of augments and a change in weapon loadout (secondary & melee only effected). Everyone is given these cards as starters, 1 for each merc. This will most likely be the definitive version.

You can read about these updated Defaults here: NEW DEFAULT LOADOUT CARDS[www.dirtybomb.com]

The only generation 1 cards that can be obtain whenever. These loadouts can be purchsed in the store for 17,500c

What The Dickens? These event cards were released during the What the Dickens? update of 2015. There are 3 cases that hold these type of cards. The standard event case had the least chance of obtaining these cards (0.5%). The Elite had a "better" chance. Purchasing the Elite 10 bundle cases bring 1 guarantee event case, which snags you a event loadout.

These loadout cards returned in the final update and will permanently be stationed at the shop for 50,000c for a guarantee case.

These loadout cards returned in the final update and will permanently be stationed at the shop for 50,000c for a guarantee case. The reason these loadouts are split into 4 different cases is due to how the event happened. Each week 4 mercs were labeled as the suspect and the final 5 week restocked all 4 cases.

Rouge en Vouge event site[www.dirtybomb.com]

Bronze (along with the other metal rarites) were released in the Unlock & Load update.[www.dirtybomb.com] Gen 2 loadouts were introduce to replace some "useless" augments with more sufficient ones, though this may vary from player to player. In Kira's case, g2 loadouts gave her the katana and is the only merc to get a new weapon in her loadouts.

Due to the events of ReV, and Shell Shock, 2nd gen Proxy loadouts were updated with her having a bandage on her left eye making Proxy the only merc to have a cosmetic change in her generations. Of course any gen 1 loadout still retains the original 2 eyed Proxy.

Silver is nothing more than a cosmetic change. Comes in 2 skin variants.

The next in the rarity tier, Gold! Gold is the only standard rarity to come in 3 colors!

The highest tier! Cobalt, just like silver only comes in 2 variants.

Sidenote, if you see a image of someone's gun looking more like speckles/stary, its because they are using a Fragment Cobalt but turned off a setting in their config file,

Basically acting as a part 2 for Rouge en Vouge, Shell Shock brought in the final (planned) merc into the game. The event will also have the community decide the new look for Proxy which will be used for Generation 3 loadouts (See Cyber Eye Proxy)

Much like every other event, there are 3 case types which can reward these special editions. The lowest and freebie cases come in 3 designs (which is how players vote on Proxy's eye) and can be bought with the event's special currency. The 2nd tier case are purchasable from the store and the final which only containts the special loadouts are given as a bonus when you buy the $20 case bundle or received as a drop at the end of a match. Players can purchase boosters to increase the chance of the drop being a tier 3 event case.

"When Execution was launched, we introduced our first Limited Edition Loadout Cards: Containment War cards.

To celebrate the mode's last hurrah, we're introducing Second Edition Containment War cards, including some small changes to the skins and cards."

The Final Assault Update[www.dirtybomb.com] is a continuation of the Dirty Bomb's lore and returns to where it started. These cards aren't a complete return of the original Containment War as not only are these 2nd gen cards, the camo used are slightly different.

Low tier event cases replace the standard case for the duration of this event so they work the same as the standard cases. However unlike previous events, there is no 2nd tier case, the final guarantee case however work like most of the time, they come as a bonus when purchasing elite cases bundles, but for this event, it would be the standard versions.

In a what was thought to be a Javelin nerf update, SD decided to also make it to a event. Similar to the camo used by the special edition Ghost Javelin during her update. Like the better events, the game changes all standard tier cases to event ones. Get event equipment cases with credits or by drop, or up your odds and buy elite cases or in bundles to receive event only cases.

The event last from September 21 to October 5.

The event was actually extended for another week and officially ended on the 10th when the Guardian update rolled in.

"The CDA have started enjoying the quiet life. So, we tasked Phantom with spreading a little Halloween cheer. A touch of invisibility and dash of spray paint later; well, let’s just say he’d done a little… rebranding. A few cases with our logo, a lick of paint for a few weapons… classic hooligan work.

Problem is, he did such a good job now every Tom, Dick and 'Arry wants one. So we've put them up for sale on the Black Market."

A event that seem to appear out of nowhere, Dirty Bomb finally got into the holiday spirit after a year in haitus! Starting on the 24th, this event last for 2 weeks and players are able to get the usual 3 case types from drops or buying. A limited time trinket and event exclusive credits (called Shrieks) also are present. A Event standard case cost 600 shrieks and the elite version replaces the default one in the stores. The bundles brings a guaranteed event case. The guaranteed event case is also purchasable with 12,000 shrieks.

Christmas 2017 was one of the year's biggest updates. Not only did it include the general new event loadout cards and trinkets, a new map and a major cosmetic system was introduce. You can read that other stuff on SD's website

Added during the Lead & Iron update, the highly requested Obsidian Operative skins loadout make a slight return. Of course Aimee being the only completely new merc, Arty, Stoker, Fletcher & Phoenix make a 2nd apperence. All 4 of which are sporting a new Obsidian logo & using a different loadout.

All 5 loadouts, including the mercs themselves can be purchased from Steam for $44.99
Dirty Bomb - Obsidian Operative Pack. Operative loadouts can also be purchased separately. Aimee & Arty are $14.99 while the other 3 are $12.99

Due to popular demand, SD has re-released Operative Phantom's BL64 card during The Hunter Update[www.dirtybomb.com]. Its the exact same as the previously released one in the 3 pack. The only difference this re-released has is the symbol the card displays, it uses the skull icon which is given to all Obsidian Operatives marked as "wave 2"

Splash Damage held a poll on their Instagram[www.instagram.com] asking users to vote on the next merc to receive a Operative skin. Battling Proxy, Skybro won the votes. This GitS/BO3 style Skydaddy was released on July's fine tuning update[www.dirtybomb.com] for R3,650 This was the first tease to his design!

So seems SD still gave Proxy her obsidian operative design. Originally SD held a poll on their Instagram on whether Skyhammer or Proxy should receive the next operative skin. Skyhammer won and his skin was released on July 24th. Proxy followed up 2 on the August 7th update. She cost R3,650.

When The MercSERVer Update[www.dirtybomb.com] rolled out, anyone who owned Bushwacker prior to the update will receive a free Obsidian card for him. Those who did not purchase Bushwacker will simply have him on their roster as Bushy is now the newest starter merc. Its unknown how long this will last so if you purchased him but have yet to touch the game, login in to welcome this new loadout to your collection.

Introduced in the 1.0 update, Skyhammer's partner in... war? Aura also brings along a single obsidian operative loadout. Cost the same as the rest of the Operatives.

The OG loadout cards. From Lead to Cobalt, players had a variaty of ways of obtaining these cards. From unboxing dropped crates, to "trading up" or crafting, these cards were as basic as it got. Anything past Bronze was purely cosmetic. Unfortunately due to January's 2018 update, SD has retired Lead & Iron loadouts. This means that if a first edition week was to ever occur again, gen1 L&I will no longer be able to be obtained.

The only major difference from Gen 1 & 2 loadouts is the augments used. Some have been replaced. In the special case for Proxy & Kira, Proxy retains her 100% normal left human eye. As for Kira, she does not wield the Katana.

Sometimes SD likes to re-release these cards Link to this type of event here: THE FIRST EDITION WEEK UPDATE[www.dirtybomb.com]

The Founders type cards are the most unique as they use edited models.

These cards were given to players who have purchased a founders pack. There was several tiers of these packs.
Veteran and Elite were able to choose 1 Founder Merc.
While Legendary, Contributor[pcguru.hu], or VIP[pcguru.hu] will get all 5.
Forums post: Here[forums.warchest.com]

The removed Merc, Dazzler was one of the mercs that was given one of these cards. Founder Players are given a new card for Fragger instead.

These cards were given out to players who have played during certain events when the game was still in closed beta.
Last time these were awared was during February 2015 stress test.[www.splashdamage.com]

One of the first special edition loadouts. A collaboration with Nexon (at the time) & Alienware. Since this was probably a 1 time thing, these loadouts do not use a proper merc camo like every other recent special editons, and just reuse bronze's woodland camo. The only cosmetic change is the primary weapon itself. These cards were given away at Alienware's user reward site called Arena. A limited amount of codes were given. Codes are limited to 1 per steam account.

Players would activate the code via steam and receive 2 cases ingame (1 Alienware Case: Skyhammer & 1 Alienware Case: Aura). Each case only contained 2 different loadouts.

Original link: DIRTY BOMB EXCLUSIVE ALIENWARE SKIN CASE KEY GIVEAWAY[www.alienwarearena.com]

Much like how the Alienware special editions worked, Logitech were giving out codes to users at their
Facebook account: Logitech G and Dirty Bomb Code Giveaway[www.facebook.com]. So like mentioned before, 1 code per account, gives you 2 cases for Sky & Aura, with each case containing 2 possible loadouts.

They were even giving these cases out at reddit THREAD

After sometime, Alienware released the rest of their cards the same way as last time. The difference is that they did change or even really give a description as to what they were giving. Players could use these newly released codes on their same accounts and find a single case: Alienware Case. Inside contain 2 different loadouts for every merc at the time (before Contaiment War).

Apprently there was a mistake and some of the first people to get their code and use it would receive 2 cases instead of 1.

During the Containment War update[dirtybomb.nexon.net], player who have Phoenix before the update went live would receive a Obsidian loadout along with a Elite Case A & B when the update would roll out. The normal obsidian is the same as the "Beta Fighter" but does not have the label under the name yet uses the Beta Figther symbol.

These cards are available from the Gamepedia Bundle[www.humblebundle.com] for anyone who pays for more then 12 dollars.
Total of 8 cards!

A special version of the Culprit skin given to the winner of the Rouge en Vouge event. Obtained by purchasing the single Culprit Case in the menu shop via the main menu for 500 Decryption Cycles.

A special obsidian based card for the winner of the Rouge en Vouge event. Obtained by purchasing the Aimee & Case bundle via the in-game store for $15. The other 3 mercs who lost were Stoker, Vassili, and Fletcher.

Fun fact: This card used the wrong font when released!

"Turns out SNITCH is keeping an eye out for Aimee, too! As a thank you for joining us throughout the Rogue en Vogue event, we're giving away a Limited Edition one-off Aimee 'Detective' Case to everyone that logs in between May 19th and May 23rd, which will drop one of nine possible Limited Edition cards from the Second Edition set."

These special version of the Rouge en Vouge style cards are given away (1 Case only) to anyone who simply logs in during Thursday, May 19 - 10:00 AM Monday, May 23.

Both Lead & Iron cards were removed from the game during the Lead & Iron Update. The removal of what seemed to be a standard part of the game's history was due to players claiming the game to be "pay2win". The decision was made and L&I will no longer drop in newer cases. This update also changed default loadouts and now use all 3 augment slots.

Its currently unknown if both of these camos will return as newer, 3 augmented loadouts.

Pour one of for the homies

A skin exclusive to Ranked Season 2. Players could purchase Season 2 cases from the store with credits earned in Ranked. Cases cost 1000 points each. A case drop could also be awarded when playing ranked. The contents of these cases only contait the special edition cards.

Ranked Season 2 update via Website[www.dirtybomb.com]

A new wave of Obsidian cards which was based on the Founder cards. These mercs are given a new look and even includes new viewmodels. These cards can only be purchased for a limited time with cash only. No credits for these. Arty cost $14.99 while Stoker & Fletcher $12.99 or buy the bundle for $29.99. These are only single cards and do not have variants.
Obsidian Operatives Update[www.dirtybomb.com]

A limited bundle (comes with Turtle himself) sold for $20 during the duration of the Shell shock event. Just like the other operatives, comes with matching viewmodel and is a single card with no variants.

"Turtle's work is complete! Proxy's new CoreSEC cyber eye is ready, and she's ready to go back to being binocular.

If you purchased a Cyber Eye case during the Shell Shock event, it will now be unlocked in your Barracks and ready to open."

This special Proxy was purchable during the Shell Shock update with the event's limited curreny. There were 3 different designs made for the event for people to choose from. The winner (which is chosen from which of the 3 cases sold the most) design would go on to be used as Proxy's new facial design for all Generation 3 loadouts and maybe after. The cases were unlocked when the Final Assault rolled out.

"As if Phantom didn't think he was cool enough, he's had a full makeover with a brand new, super-suave skin available until August 22nd.

This includes a carbon-fiber katana skin; the first melee weapon to receive this treatment."

Sold during the duration of the Final Assult event, Phantom is the first in the Operative series to receive more than 1 loadout. A total of 3 variants, each card cost $15. The cards come bundled with Phantom for $25.

Released in the Self-titled, Javelin update[www.dirtybomb.com], this unique special edition uses a variety of changes to the merc without being a simple camo change. This is similar to the Obsidian Culprit Proxy. Ghost Javelin comes within a case which contains all 9 differnet loadout variants. The case is bundled with Javelin herself for $15 and is sold for a limited time. Sale ends on September the 5th.

The next in the Operative line, Phoenix has received the same sale treatment as Phantom. That is 3 different loadouts, which can be purchased individually or be purchased as a bundle (All 3 loadouts + Phoenix himself) for $20. Sale last from September 27 to October 11

Ranked Season 3 update via Website[www.dirtybomb.com]

Special Aura cards that are being sold for a limited time during Season 3 of ranked. These 2 cards are based on the most used loadout in normal & ranked games! PUB Aura cost $10 or 200,000c credits. Ranked Aura cost 2000rp.

"It's often said that clothes maketh the Merc."

Similar to Javelin's ghost special edition, these loadouts are 1 of 9 able to be obtain in a case via the Guardian case bundle which of course, also brings Guardian herself for $14.99.

Site: The Guardian Update[www.dirtybomb.com]

"They’re not easy to get, but carry a prestige that will get the rest of the server talking."

The date of the season 4 update was suppose to be on October 17th but was push back to the 20th.
Same as previous seasons. 1000rp for 1 case. Turtle also has received cards due to him finally being able to play in rank. There is also a rare 2% chance that at the end of a rank may drop you a rank case instead of the ordinary one.

These cards will retire around January when the Season 5 update rolls out.

"These reflect the most-played Fragger card in Ranked Season 3 and Casual Play. Pick them up to look the business!"

Similar to Most-played Aura on how its sold and cards choosen.

PUB K51 cost 200,000c or $9.99 while M62 Rank cost 2000rp

In a strange move by SD, who said they would not do any major changes to ranked mode, they introduced the Midseason Rank changes update[www.dirtybomb.com]

Along with this update added both PUB & Ranked obsidian Naders to the store. Both loadouts cost the same as the previous releases.

Unfortunately SD had removed their ingame Ranked mode during the Quick Join Update[www.dirtybomb.com] so Nader was the final merc to receive a Out for Blood Obsidians via ranked.

For player still wanting to play a competitive match, SD introduced FaceIt integration to DB but only sells weapons skins and a trinket.[www.faceit.com]

Continuing the line of unique special editions (not simply a camo different but a whole texture different), this Hunter loadout introduced during The Hunter Update[www.dirtybomb.com] can be purchased by itself or as a bundle along with the man himself. Unlike Javelin & Guardian, Hunter is the first to come as a predetermined loadout. This was most likely due to the backlash both Jav & Guard received when their special editions were RNG based.

These loadout cards were added in the games during the Javelin upate. All mercs have all 9 of their loadouts this time unlike the unreleased gen 1 counterparts which was only 1 loadout for 16 mercs.

10 cases(?) are given to players who stream Dirty Bomb which makes these limited edition accessible to anyone at anytime. The player simply needs to tweet at Shoe where he then sends the cases to your inventory. It should be noted that Shoe is the only person responsible for the giveaway so it can take a while for him to fulfill your request.

Due to Shoe's departure from Splash Damage and now the game halting development, these cards are most likely retired.

A super-rare-awesome-chocolaty-fudge-coated-mega-super-card given to the staff at Splash Damage.

Another super-rare-awesome-chocolaty-fudge-coated-mega-super-card given to the staff at Splash Damage.

A super-rare-awesome-chocolaty-fudge-coated-mega-super-card given to the staff at Nexon.

Its unknown if the staff gets to keep their cards or not after Splash Damaged took back their publishing rights from Nexon. The loadout cards are still present in the game.

One of the first special edition loadouts to appear in the game's file, along with Alienware & Logitech. These loadouts may have been a cross promotional event with Nexon's other game, Combat Arms[combatarms.nexon.net] to have their older players try the new game and have DB players try Combat Arms(?). Since this set is one of the first special editions, Combat Arms also suffred from not having a unique merc camo and reusing the bronze camo (Woodland). Like its 2 other Promotional brothers, the only real change would have been in the primary weapon. Its unknown as to how the weapons would have looked but guessing due to Combat Arm's realistic tone the camo may have been Oldwood[cdna.artstation.com] or a less likely one Fakewood[cdnb.artstation.com]. While both these designs may not specifically state what they are for, the Alienware Hexagon design was also shown prior to the special editions releasing. The game also had a image file for this set's case, so players would have probably received a code from Combat Arms and enter the code into steam and receive a (single?) case. All mercs only had 1 loadout variant and were for all mercs prior to Stoker.

Due to Splash Damage cutting ties with Nexon, these cards will indefinitely never be released. Proxy's portrait on the card was even updated to give her an eyepatch after the results of Rouge en Vouge.

Similar to Alienware, Logitech also had planned to release a single 3rd case which would contain 2 loadouts for every other merc at that time. Its unknown as to why they never got released.

There is only 1 loadout for each merc similar to the Humble Bundle set. There is no card for Stoker so these were made prior to the Containment War update.

During some update, these cards resurfaced into the game. Shoe had replied saying they dont have plans for releasing the Twitch cards. Due to the outcry of wanting Twitch related items, the Gen 2 versions were made.

There was a bug at one point where the player's character would load up the wrong skin.

A developer responded to these cards and said that they will be released eventually. Unfortunally they have said to never found the opportunity to released them (not sure what this means, could be Humblebundle's fault or SD), thus they were canned.

Like the original gen 1, mercs only had 1 card. Strangely Kira did not receive a G2 card.

3 additional Obsidian cards have been added into the game during the MercSERV update, one for each starting merc (Was Skyhammer, Aura and Bush prior to the final update). This is purely speculation but it could have been these loadouts may be awarded to anyone who had played Dirty Bomb during its beta phases prior to the magical 1.0 update.

Originally posted since May 2016, certain merc's held a FaceIt camo pattern in their file. I myself have forgotten when SD had removed this texture but it has been recently (the 1.0 update) repacked in the game.

Splash Damage themselves have teased the skin in their 1.0 promotinal image. They have also stated that they are not done with FaceIt & "More of FACEIT’s features will be added over time allowing us to run our own tournaments and more! ". There are no other images/files for FaceIt.

Unfortunally, SD has decided to stop production on DB leaving FACEIt's rewards the way it is.

In December 2019, FACEIT has removed DB.

Not really sure the reason these were made as all bronze loadouts use the Woodland camo while Fragment is 1 of the 2 camos used for Cobalt.

All 9 loadouts has one of these variants.

Turtle for some weird reason has a total of 14 loadouts at the time of his released. These 5 extra cards were most likely his original loadouts but was than reworked. All of his card variants (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Cobalt, etc) also had these 5 unused loadouts.

Its the same thing as the version already released, except that he has the Beckhill Combat Knife instead of the Stilnotto Stiletto. The card was part of the 5 extra loadout cards Turle has that went unused.

Currently all mercs (even Hunter) have one of these templates. Possibly SD had plans to allow Obsidians to be obtain by crafting. Its unknown what camo they would use as all mercs use their default skin. The camo used for standard obsidians is Out For Blood.

As the name states, its the basic loadout everyone gets when you unlock mercs. These are also the mercs canon colors, be it the friendly or the enemy variant.

These defaults were replaced with newer ones to make the game seem less pay2win to newcomers.

Prior to the First Edition Week, all gen 1 Proxy loadouts used her eye patch version on her model and card portraits. When the update rolled out, all gen 1 loadouts returned to her normal 2 eyed version and her model would not use her eyepatch. Because of this, Proxy is the only merc in the game to have a cosmetic difference without the need of a special edition or obsidian card.

It's a joke card. Yes this was in the game's folders but it obviously put in as a joke for someone to find. Unlike the rest of the cards, it did not use a random generated code name and is smaller than the actual cards. I put it here cause why not. the person in the card is Sven 'c4te' Metzger.

Sadly Sven passed away on the week of 11th, November 2018.

This special Turtle can be "seen" in NukePizza's video:

Proxy gets all the love. At one point, SD put in another joke card, except this one actually replaced the real gen 2 Proxy loadout. They even gave Fragger the same pose. His backpack unfortunately covers over the 3rd augument.

Sadly, i was away when my game was updating and i never got a hold of the actual image files for these loadouts. These images were taken from a reddit post https://redd.it/6riycz. This happened during the First Edition Week update.

While this skin never had a loadout or was actually ready to be shipped ingame, SD originally had a different look for Operative Phoenix. They seem to have gone with a jungle war theme. Since it was first revealed as a "skin preview" and wasnt ready to be released, the community did put in their opinion the skin was highly critized. In their follow up video, they teased the final version of his skin to which many fans were pleased with the change.

During the Hunter Update, it seems that the developers accidentally leaked the early version of this loadout design and replaced the already released 3 pack Operative Phoenix loadout images. The operative's texture were still the same.
The portrait lacks shadows & certain material shadings and the gun itself is very flat in color. This is understandable since it was never ment to be publicly released and was simply a placeholder. The newer wave 2 Phoenix remain the same during this time. SD fixed this issue in a later update.

No merc has a actual premade loadout. Diamond was originally the final rarity but was replaced by Cobalt. Certain mercs also used different portraits.

Thunder, Sparks, Stoker, Turtle, Redeye, Phantom, Aimee, Javelin, Guardian, & Hunter do not have one of these cards.
More info on these cards:
HERE[forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net]

These camos do not have any type of loadout card attach to them as of now but can be found in the game. Several skins since the beginning were marked as unreleased but eventually saw the light with the most recent being Ranked Eagle and possibly FaceIt.
