While many games struggle with optimization issues upon release, *FragPunk* has impressed players with its smooth performance right from the start. However, there's always room for improvement, especially when it comes to squeezing out more frames. Below, you'll find the best *FragPunk* settings and crosshair codes to enhance your gaming experience.
FragPunk Settings Overview
The *FragPunk* settings menu is organized into five tabs, with the Video tab being the most crucial for performance optimization. The other tabs contain quality-of-life and accessibility settings that may not directly impact performance but can enhance your gameplay experience. Here's a detailed look at the settings you should consider tweaking, while leaving others at default or adjusting to your preference.
General
The General tab houses settings that cater to personal preferences and quality of life. Experiment with these options to find what suits you best. Here are the 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
Note that this tab also includes options for customizing your crosshair, which we'll discuss later.
Keyboard/Controller
This section allows you to adjust your key bindings to your liking. With Automatic Sprint enabled, the Shift key becomes available, and it's advisable to bind it to walk, a common setup in tactical shooters like *VALORANT* and *CS2*.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity settings are highly subjective. Feel free to experiment or use an online calculator to convert settings from other games like *VALORANT* or *CS2*.
Audio
For the best audio experience, set the Sound Effects volume to a comfortable level and lower the Music, Announcer, and Button Volumes. Enable Character Voice Simplification to reduce unnecessary character banter. Voice Chat settings can be adjusted according to personal preference.
