Unlike many games that struggle with optimization at launch, FragPunk has maintained smooth performance since release, though additional frame rate improvements are possible. These are the optimal FragPunk settings and crosshair configurations for competitive play.
FragPunk Settings Breakdown
The game's settings are organized into five categories. While most options outside the Video tab focus on quality-of-life and accessibility features with minimal performance impact, some can significantly enhance gameplay. Settings not specifically mentioned can remain at default values.
General Settings
This tab contains personal preference options that can improve gameplay comfort. While default settings work well, these adjustments may enhance your experience:
- Automatic Climbing – On
- Automatic Sprint – On
- Camera Shake During Sprint – Off
- FOV Sprint Scaling – On
- Flash Eye Guarding – On
- Keep Player Centered – On
- Minimap Orientation – Rotate
- Performance Metrics – On
- Ping Visibility – 1
- Hide Overly Visible Skin Components from Enemies – On
Control Customization
The Keyboard/Controller tabs allow full button remapping. With Automatic Sprint enabled, consider rebinding Shift to walk, matching standard configurations in competitive shooters like VALORANT and CS2.
Sensitivity Options
Mouse sensitivity relies entirely on personal preference. Players can experiment or use online calculators to convert settings from other tactical shooters.
Audio Configuration
For optimal gameplay audio:
- Set Sound Effects volume appropriately
- Reduce Music, Announcer, and Button volumes
- Enable Character Voice Simplification to minimize unnecessary dialogue
