1. Momentum is Key

Fragpunk rewards movement as much as kills. The game’s Momentum Meter (hidden but critical) boosts your damage and ability cooldowns the faster you move. Master sliding off ledges, wall-running to dodge snipers, and chaining bunny hops between gunfights. Stop moving, and you become a sitting duck—literally.

Pro Tip: Use the "Slide-Cancel" tech: Slide into a jump, then melee to cancel the animation and retain speed. Perfect for closing gaps or escaping explosions.

2. Hack the Environment, Not Just Opponents

Every map is littered with hackable terminals that most players ignore. Overloading a terminal can:

  • Trigger a blackout (disabling enemy HUDs for 3 seconds).

  • Activate auto-turrets hidden in walls.

  • Spawn a decoy hologram of yourself to bait ultimates.

Pro Tip: Hack during fights. The animation is interruptible, and enemies rarely expect mid-combat environmental chaos.

3. Weapon Synergy > Meta Loadouts

Fragpunk’s weapon roster isn’t about what’s “OP”—it’s about synergy. Pair a Tesla Beam (chain lightning primary) with a Gravity Grenade to cluster enemies for mass electrocution. Or combine a Plasma Shield sidearm with a sniper rifle to create your own cover. Experiment with off-meta combos to catch foes off-guard.

4. Play the Ultimate Bait Game

Ultimate abilities are flashy, but smart players use them as distractions. Pretend to line up a game-winning ultimate in the open, then cancel it (default key: Hold Q) to bait enemies into ambushes. Bonus points if you combo this with a teammate’s actual ultimate.

5. Adaptive Defense Wins Matches

Most players focus on shields, but Fragpunk’s Adaptive Armor system weakens to the damage type you’re hit by most. If a rival is spamming fire rounds, manually toggle your armor to prioritize Thermal Resistance mid-fight (default key: F). This forces them to switch tactics—or die trying.
