1. Gameplay
FragPunk’s S1 introduces two main gameplay categories: PVP Mode and Entertainment Mode, each offering unique experiences for competitive and casual players alike.
PVP Mode: Shard Clash
Shard Clash is the heart of FragPunk’s competitive scene, a round-based mode where two teams of five alternate between attacking and defending a target point. The first team to win four rounds claims victory.
[Shard Cards]: Before each round, teams draw three Shard Cards randomly from a pool. These cards activate unique effects for that round, providing buffs or altering gameplay mechanics (more on Shard Cards in Section 2). Normal cards activate fully once enough points are invested, while N-cost cards scale their effects based on points spent.
[Dueling Tournament]：If the score ties after six rounds, the game shifts to a Duel Phase—a series of 1v1 battles where the winner of each duel retains their state and faces the next opponent. The last player standing wins it for their team.
Entertainment Modes
In addition to competitive Shard Clash, FragPunk debuts a variety of casual modes that allow players to enjoy the laid-back chaos. Like a zombie-survival twist Outbreak, where infected players join a growing horde
And other TDM Modes:
- One Shot (One-Shot-One-Kill)
- Sniper Death Match (Sniper-Only)
- Melee Death Match (Knife-Only)
These three Deathmatch modes in FragPunk stick to the classic FPS vibe: the team with the most kills by the timer’s end wins. From One Shot to Sniper or Melee Deathmatch, it’s all about stacking frags fast.
2. Shard Cards: Over 150 Ways to Break the Rules
Shard Cards redefine chaos in FragPunk, letting you reshape match rules in an instant.
