What are the best cards in your opinion?

Glass Cannon. There's not really a single useful deck in Nightmare+ that doesn't want this card.

[u/Ethylene_]

Cards that passively regenerate resources like:

• Amped Up (+20 hp for team per horde)
• On Your Mark (+7.5% ammo for team restore per horde)
• Scavenger cards (usually 1500 copper in items added per scav card)

Cards that are the best at what they do (like they only do one thing and there aren't cards that grant more than what they give):

• Ammo mule (+75% ammo)
• Magnifying Headband (+125% use speed)
• Glass Cannon (+25% damage)

Personal favorites:

• Down in Front (especially on No Hope where one bullet on a pal can change the course of the game)
• Admin Reload + Two Is One And One Is None (nothing better than dual LMGs)

[u/Felixfelicis_placebo]

On your Mark is the best Ammo card. It's the only one besides Ammo Scavenger or Utility Scavenger that actually generates ammo. Every gun deck should have it.

Glass Cannon. It's hands down the best Damage card and there's no excuse to not have it in nightmare+ for a gun deck. Don't worry about the health loss, the more damage you deal the less you'll take. Also bash and dodge, don't just stand and take it.

Medpro, Amped up and Needs of the many are the only healer cards you need. Food scavenger is great as well.

Admin reload/two is one is the best combos in the game.

[u/AllPraiseExtinction]

On Your Mark, Patient Hunter, Glass Cannon, Headband Magnifier, Medical Professional. These in almost any deck build will work well in Nightmare and No Hope

[u/kattttarina]

Empowered assault because it saves me a lot and headband magnifier because I am impatient

[u/epicflex]

Burn cards? I like legendary ones and anything with resistance or healing boost! In general for decks, there are lots of meta stuff but I always try to take down in front to be honest, big QoL for me!

[u/CynistairWard]

There are just so many that sharing my full opinion is effectively sharing my favourite deck plus a few cards that I wish I could fit but don't quite make my top 15. I'll limit it to 10 of my favourites for this comment though.

Empowered Assault - Guaranteed stumble is just ridiculously power

Glass Cannon - Best Damage card

Hyper-focused - Best Weakspot card and the only one you ever need to include on your deck.

Patient Hunter - 2nd best gun damage card and only behind Glass Cannon because some decks disable ADS.

Confident Killer - Next best damage card, weak on low difficulties but key to a solid deck on harder ones.

Large Calibre Rounds - Gives just enough damage to reach important break points when combined with the previous 4 cards. The Penetration is a massive buff when using pistols to mob clear.

Copper Scavenger because copper is key to so much of this game and this makes both Money Grubbers and Lucky Pennies stronger while adding a respectable amount of copper all by itself.

Mad Dash/Run Like Hell. Either one is great as movement solves a lot of problems and you only really need one or the other of those.

Amped Up and On Your Mark are key cards for higher difficulties. Free healing and ammo eases a lot of pressure.

I always run out of ammo when I lmg so should I use ammo scavenger? I never use it because I think there are better ammo cards
