Ive been playing a lot ofFragpunklately.
Its scratching thatApex Legendsitch when Apex Legends itself isnt hitting the spot.
Ive never really got into tactical shooters before, that whole walk-stop-shoot is kryptonite to myTitanfall-pilledbrain.
I want slick movement and good gunplay, and Fragpunk has both in spades.
When it comes to competitive games like this, players gravitate towards a meta.
Its no surprise that everyone wants to know the same thing when it comes to Fragpunk.
You name it, people want to min-max this game to the nth degree.
But thats not how you should play it.
At least, not for the moment.
Fragpunks Best Lancer Isnt Real
I read alistthat said the best Fragpunk Lancer is Axon.
I played Axon in my next match.
Our own Harry Alston kindlyranked Fragpunks Lancers, so I tried a couple off his leaderboard.
I understand why Pathojen is rated S-tier, but I dont want to play the healer.
Broker gets a big old missile launcher, but it felt clunky compared to my preferred sniper rifle.
Put simply, its just not my preferred playstyle.
Then I tried Zephyr.
I love playing Zephyr.
I love it when I win, I love it when I die.
Playing Zephyr is great.
The important takeaway is that I dont just enjoy playing as the character because shes good.
Hollowpoint, who Harry classed as A-tier good, but nothing special.
Add on a devastating railgun and its a recipe for fun.
Time To Experiment
Fragpunk is a brand new game.
Nobody is great at it.
Sure, Shroud is probably better than you.
Players who have thousands of hours in Valorant have an advantage over newcomers to the genre.
But the intricacies of Fragpunk havent been worked out.
There is no defined meta or countermeta.
This is the time to have fun.
Play with a wide variety of Lancers, try out different weapon combinations, pick the silliest shard cards.
I will never not take the one that makes you slide across the map.
Or the one with the tortoise shells.
Or the big heads.
Or the flaming shotgun shells.
Theres so much fun in Fragpunk right now, so embrace it.
Sorry for throwing Chum under the bus, but it could be any Lancer.
Fragpunk is an incredibly well-balanced game.
The same goes for the weapons.
I prefer the Meat Maker to the Boom Broom, but its a close call between the two shotguns.
It all depends on your playstyle, your character, and your shard cards.
Fragpunk rewards adaptability, and you will be rewarded for creativity.
