- Dead of Winter FAQ v1.1 · Official document · 3.1.1 Do Outsider cards count as item cards when trying to complete a secret objective? · 2015-02-04
They are item cards, so they count toward objectives that need item cards, can be requested, and can be added to a crisis. You do not have to play one: it can stay in your hand (unplayed survivors add no mouths to feed). When played they are removed from the game, not wasted. The printed rulebook is the reference where the PDF said waste pile.
