FragPunk Lancers: Skills & Abilities Revealed

by

At long last, FragPunk has arrived, adding a dash of lawlessness to the conventional hero-shooter genre. Yet, the Lancer you opt for will significantly influence your style of rule-breaking, so make your choice wisely.

Just as the character selection is crucial in popular team-based games like Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, Apex Legends, and Valorant, it’s equally important in FragPunk, a game featuring an array of 13 unique characters, or “Lancers” as they are called there.

Of course, they all have unique combat techniques – some charge into battle with a guitar and an automatic rifle, while others prefer to remain unseen using invisibility. Here’s a rundown of each Lancer and their skills, ensuring you enter every fight well-informed… until the rules shift again.
