“How Rush Saved Mercenary Day” is about Rush, the leader of the Outbounders, who feels homesick for the holidays and wants to spread some festive cheer to Kairos folks. Mercenary Day, "a jolly time for gift-giving and gunslinging with friends and family", is coming, but the Timekeeper's Minister of Culture Screw is in his way.

“Across a series of all-new Main Missions, you'll show Screw the true meaning of Mercenary Day by any means necessary, and maybe score some new Legendary loot in the process,” said the developers.

Bounty Pack 1's Vault Card comes with new rewards that players can earn through gameplay. There are 24 cosmetic items to unlock and 4 pieces of rerollable gear on offer. The rerollable gear can be earned as many times as players would like. Here's a full list of the Bounty Pack 1 Vault Card loot:

"4 rerollable weapons
4 Vault Hunter Heads usable by Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe
4 Vault Hunter Skins usable by Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe
5 Weapon Skins
5 Vehicle Skins
4 ECHO-4 Drone Skins
2 ECHO-4 Attachments"

Also, Bounty Pack 1 includes the following additional items:

“1 New Digirunner Vehicle (available shortly after starting the first Main Mission)
1 Vault Hunter Skin usable by Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe (available after beating the boss and completing the Bounty Pack's final Main Mission)
1 ECHO-4 Drone Skin (available after beating the boss and completing the Bounty Pack's final Main Mission)”

“Playing Borderlands 4 with a Vault Card active gives you more loot and XP via Daily and Weekly challenges, and can be leveled up at your own pace (no time limits or expiring rewards here). Once you own a Bounty Pack and its respective Vault Card, you can activate that Vault Card via the Vault Card screen in your ECHO menu,” said the developers.
