ELI5: collection missions

buffalo_pete · 06-04-2020, 02:27 PM

Just starting PT for the first time, very much enjoying it. Been lurking on the forum looking at tips and strategies, but one thing I'm unclear on is the mechanics of collection missions. How do they work? What does it mean to "lock" a card? When I complete a mission, do I lose the cards for that mission?

Someone's probably gonna just link me to another thread or part of the manual, which is fine, I've just been having a hard time finding the information.

You don't lose the cards, you keep them and can use them but they are "locked" to your team in that you can no longer sell them.

Basically, you need to collect the number of cards required.

So for example, the LIVE missions, which are available for each current team require 26 Live cards from that team. Teams all have more cards. So you could have 30 cards from a team, but only lock 26 of them, so you choose who. Typically, it is sound strategy to lock the lowest-value cards.
