Many games struggle with optimization issues at launch, often requiring patches to smooth things out. However, *FragPunk* has been running smoothly right from its release. That said, there's always room for more frames. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best *FragPunk* settings and crosshair codes to optimize your gameplay experience.
FragPunk Settings Overview
The *FragPunk* settings are categorized into five tabs. While the Video tab directly impacts performance, the others mainly focus on quality-of-life and accessibility features that can enhance your gameplay. Here's a breakdown of the settings you should consider adjusting:
General
The General tab hosts various quality-of-life settings that you can tweak to your liking. Experiment with these options to find what suits you best. Here are some recommended settings:
- 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 – On
- Performance Metrics – On
- Ping Visibility – 1
- Hide Overly Visible Skin Components from Enemies – On
This tab also includes options for customizing your crosshair, which we'll discuss later.
Keyboard/Controller
In these tabs, you can adjust your keybinds. Feel free to set them as you wish, but if you've enabled Automatic Sprint, consider using the freed-up Shift key for walking, a common setting in other tactical shooters like *VALORANT* and *CS2*.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity settings are highly personal. Experiment with different settings or use online calculators to convert sensitivity from games like *VALORANT* or *CS2*.
Audio
For the Audio settings, set the Sound Effects volume to a comfortable level and turn down the Music, Announcer, and Button Volume. Enable Character Voice Simplification to reduce unnecessary character chatter. Voice Chat settings are up to your preference.
