Many games struggle with optimization at launch, often requiring subsequent patches to smooth out the gameplay. However, *FragPunk* has been an exception, delivering a solid performance right out of the gate. Still, for those looking to squeeze out even more frames, here are the optimal *FragPunk* settings and crosshair codes to enhance your gaming experience.
FragPunk Settings Overview
The settings in *FragPunk* are organized into five tabs, with the Video tab being the most crucial for performance optimization. While the other tabs focus on quality-of-life and accessibility features, they can still enhance your gameplay. We'll guide you through the settings that significantly impact your experience, leaving others to your personal preference.
General
The General tab hosts a variety of quality-of-life settings. Experimenting with these can help you find what suits your style best. Here are some recommended adjustments, though they can be tweaked to your liking:
- 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

Crosshair customization, also found in this tab, will be discussed later.
Keyboard/Controller
In the Keyboard/Controller tabs, you can adjust your key bindings. With Automatic Sprint enabled, the Shift key becomes available. A smart move would be to assign walking to Shift, aligning with common settings in other tactical shooters like *VALORANT* and *CS2*.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity settings are highly individual. Feel free to experiment or use an online calculator to convert sensitivities from games like *VALORANT* or *CS2*.
Audio
For optimal audio settings, set the Sound Effects volume to a comfortable level. Reduce Music, Announcer, and Button Volume. Enable Character Voice Simplification to cut down on unnecessary character chatter. Voice Chat settings can be adjusted according to your preference.
