NetEase and Bad Guitar Studio shared a look at the first season of unlockable content for the competitive PvP shooter, FragPunk. The game and the first season, Wild Dawn, will both launch on March 6th.
FragPunk is a free-to-play 5v5 hero-based shooter where cards can be used by both teams to drastically alter the gameplay and environment each round.
LAUNCH DAY CONTENT: WHAT TO EXPECT ON MARCH 6
The newly released season preview trailer offers a deep dive into the game’s launch features:
Shard Cards: Over 150 Ways to Break the Rules
At the core of FragPunk’s gameplay are Shard Cards —modifiers that let players bend match rules on the fly. There will be over 150 cards available at launch, including 50 brand new ones that have never been revealed before, ranging from tactical buffs to chaotic global effects. To further increase the strategic depth, players can create powerful combos with multiple cards or create synergies by combining cards with their Lancer’s abilities.
Some of the new cards include:
Alongside competitive Shard Clash, FragPunk debuts multiple casual modes for laid-back chaos Including Outbreak, a zombie-survival twist where infected players join a growing horde, and other side modes including One Shot (One-Shot-One-Kill), Sniper Deathmatch (Sniper-Only), Melee Deathmatch (Knife-Only), etc.
Brand New Lancer, Map and Weapons
FragPunk features 13 lancers and 7 Shard Clash maps at launch, the new trailer provides hints for the brand new lancer Chum, a stone-made robot with a fish pal which shapes both his personality and combat style, and the new map Dongtian, an oriental battleground set within a floating mountain palace. Moreover, the launch arsenal will be composed of 20 weapons including the new sniper rifle Highlife, which was designed for aggressive, mobile play, and Burner, a secondary weapon enabling players to fire incendiary bombs and create burning areas, causing continuous damage for any enemy passing through.
