Golden cards

Naguide alone describes activating a golden card by depositing it in a drop box, with effects lasting for the run. Fandom lists 8 names; the later community table has 18 rows. A separate Steam community guide labeled v1.57 lists 24. These are different source lists, not an official total.

How a card is supposed to activate

Naguide's article dated 7 June 2026 supplies these activation and persistence details; its reviewed text does not label itself v1.57: deposit the card in a drop box; it lasts until the run ends; dying does not clear it, but quota failure or completing the game does; duplicates can be stashed. Source check: 30 Oct 2026. Steam news separately says version 1.4 added five golden cards. Neither statement establishes the current official total.

Three differently scoped lists

Fandom's earlier page names eight: Cop Car, Credits, Doors, Fast Delivery, Police, Taser, Trap, XP. Naguide's later table, which does not declare a total, has these 18 rows: XP, Police, Dollar, Police Car, Cameras, Taser, Diamond, Eye, Ear, Doors, Blind, Ruthless, Silent, Credits, Deadline, Fast Delivery, Trap, Time. The research counted 18 rows. A separate v1.57 Steam community guide lists 24 cards, including Swift and Fast Delivery separately. These snapshots disagree in scope; 8, 18 and 24 are not interchangeable official totals.

Effects that a money guide repeats

Crime Net Gazette, pointing at a community list around 1.57, assigns Dollar an extra five points of cut, Credits plus 20 percent, Diamond a 25 percent shop discount, and Swift a 50 percent early-finish bonus. The separate v1.57 community guide lists Swift and Fast Delivery as distinct entries: Fast Delivery makes fast delivery free and faster. They are not alternate translations of the same card. The other cards' exact numbers are not in both places, so I am not padding them.
