Vantage Point

You didn’t hear rain on Luna, not unless something had gone very wrong. Or Vic was in one of its moods. 

This night it was the latter, and Finn wasn’t sure he got the less dangerous option of the two.

Vic, the V.I.P.I., was the very image of a sensie gumshoe. The long coat, the hat, the holster. The rain. Only an image, though.

Vic was completely translucent, projected from a hacked emergency light, a co-opted holo-billboard down the street, and Finn’s own PAD. It didn’t make Finn feel any less like the rain splattering down on just the V.I.P.I. wasn’t splashing onto him, too.

“So you called in your favor. What do you need from me, detective?”

“Two things. First, open this door.” 

Vic tilted its head to indicate the warehouse, rain sluicing off its fedora into nothing as it strayed to the edge of the projection. 

Maybe this’ll be an easy one, thought Finn.

“And what’s the second thing?” he asked, as the door swung wide.

“Duck.”

Finn hit the deck just before the shooting started. From inside the warehouse came a storm of bullets, and into the thunder of gunfire and muzzle flashes lightening the room strode Vic, revolver in hand, impervious to all but the rain.

Note: Vantage Point is not a self-contained game. A copy of System Gateway is required to play.

Vantage Point is our first standalone rotating set, and is not a part of a larger cycle. It was designed from the ground up to fill in some of the gaps left by the large rotation that accompanied the release of Elevation, injecting both variety and powerful effects back into the card pool. It features four new identity cards (for the Shaper, Criminal, NBN, and Jinteki factions), and support cards for returning mechanics such as stealth and bad publicity.

Vantage Point explores several of the locales featured in our previous sets, and checks in on some familiar characters from them. Most prominently, we revisit the Lunar surface and marvel at the starlit domes of the hitherto-unexplored city of Méliès, while deep beneath them Corps hide some of their deepest secrets.

Buy Vantage Point

Pay what you’d like and print on your own printer! This file contains full-color art of card faces, with no bleed or card backs. We recommend that you cut the cards out and sleeve them in opaque sleeves using a standard-sized game card as backing. The “×3” files contain a full playset of every card in the set.

Rotation and Legality

Vantage Point will be legal immediately upon its release on March 2, 2026 for casual-tier events for all formats. It will become legal for competitive-tier events on Friday, March 13, 2026.

For the Standard competitive format, this set was accompanied by a ban list update, SBL 26.03. This comes into effect on the same day as the set’s legality, in other words, March 2, 2026 for casual-tier events, or March 13, 2026 for competitive-tier events.

For the Startup competitive format, this set was accompanied by the Startup Balance Update 26.03. This update comes into effect on March 2, 2026, on the same day as the set’s release.

The release of Vantage Point triggers a rotation for the Startup format, which comes into effect on the day of the set’s release. With the release of Vantage Point, the Liberation Cycle (consisting of The Automata Initiative and Rebellion Without Rehearsal) will no longer be part of the Startup card pool. The full list of Startup-legal sets will therefore be as follows:

The release of Vantage Point will not trigger a rotation for the Standard format.

See our Supported Formats page for more details.

Vantage Point Frequently Asked Questions

A: No, Vantage Point is not a standalone game. You need a copy of System Gateway to use the cards in this set.

If you own enough other Netrunner sets (whether NSG or older sets), you might have enough cards to be able to construct legal, playable decks. However, your experience may be suboptimal without the basic staple cards contained in System Gateway.

A: No, Vantage Point is a normal set. Our Core Sets format consists of System Gateway and Elevation combined.

A: No. Vantage Point will eventually rotate, as will our other narrative sets in their order of release.

A: We recommend you expand to the Startup format by adding Elevation to your collection. If you already own Elevation, we recommend you add any of our two-set narrative cycles which appeal to you, until you’ve eventually completed the Standard format.

A: Several minor rules changes have been made over the years, though the vast majority of cards function exactly as you remember. These are summarized on our Major Changes page, and can be read about in more detail in Rules articles and in our Rules Hub. Vantage Point, in particular, contains a minor rules change for the “bad publicity” legacy mechanic.
