FragPunk debuts, providing fans of the hero-shooter genre with an additional game to dive into right from the get-go. While borrowing a wide variety of features and mechanics from different games, FragPunk shifts the norm by introducing Shard Cards, which players can put into play to change the rules of each round.
While Shard Cards provide game-changing effects that alter how each game plays out, they are not the only unique feature that achieves this. As players progress further through FragPunk, they may encounter Relics—items that have similar game-changing effects but with a little more personality. Here is everything there is to know about Relics in FragPunk, from what they are to how to use them.

FragPunk shows off new gameplay for the guitar wielding lancer known as Axon, revealing new ability details and a bit of his back story.
What Are Relics (& How Do They Work) In FragPunk?
Relics are unique items that players will gain access to upon reaching Level 15 and essentially offer a series of unique buffs to switch up the game. Relics can be put into play during the rule-making phase of Shard Clash and will remain in effect for the entire game. However, once players select a Relic that they want to put into play, they will be unable to change it in subsequent rounds.
Unlike Shard Cards, Relics do not require Shard Points to use, but some do have a few caveats regarding their use—meaning that players should consider their options carefully.
How To Unlock Relics In FragPunk
Unlike Shard Cards, which are unlocked through completing matches, Relics can be purchased using Gold. Gold is a currency that players can earn by completing matches and through certain events, and is completely free to earn. To purchase Relics, players will need to head to the Relic section of the Shard Card tab via the main menu. Here, players can purchase Relics for 2,000 Gold each upon reaching Level 15.
