There’s nothing more exciting to us folks at Free to Player than discovering an awesome new free to play game. Today, let us introduce to you FragPunk, which combines the hero shooting of Valorant and OverWatch with GhostRunner-style traversal.
All of that is wrapped up in a Call of Duty-style shell, with combat looking just as slick as the world’s best shooter. As the authority on the subject, we can say that with full comfort.

FragPunk Brings Jet Set Radio Stylings to the FPS Space
Visually, FragPunk is like a comic book come to life. Not quite in the same way that Hi-Fi Rush did though. The characters and environments are semi-realistic, much like Valorant, but your attacks explode to life like a cartoon.
Shoot or attack an enemy and colour sprays out of them in an incredibly satisfying touch. You can also use Shard Cards in combat to provide a number of different effects, like creating a fog of war, summoning a blade, or generating grass to hide in.
Again, this is all brought to life in cartoon fashion, with an explosion of colour and skill effects. In many ways, this card system functions like perks in CoD, or abilities in Overwatch, but they’re often much more gamechanging.

Frantic, 5v5 Battles
As you can probably expect, battles are your typical 5v5 affairs, though they last an exceptionally frantic two and a half minutes. TTK is just as brief, so you rarely have time between life and death.
There are ten heroes in total to choose from, each of which have their own abilities. In terms of weaponry, it’s nice and trim at this point with only 15 guns available. These also have special abilities though, so they’re not just a simple reskin.
By choosing your hero, Shard Card, and weapon, you can truly craft your own play style. It’s a lot more involved than Overwatch 2, which only lets you choose your hero. Boo!

How to Enter the FragPunk Closed Beta
FragPunk is available right now in closed beta, and you can register for it on Steam or Xbox. We will be keeping a very close eye on this one.
There’s also a Twitch Drops event running right now, that may reward you with a beta code. All you have to do is watch 60 minutes of FragPunk content to get in with a chance.
