FragPunk throws fast gunplay, chaotic card mechanics, and flashy effects all in your face, so the last thing you need is bad settings holding you back. Nothing kills your momentum faster than a clunky UI, jittery crosshair, or settings that make everything look like a blurry mess. That’s why tweaking things just right is key.

This guide breaks down what to change, what to ignore, and how to get the smoothest, cleanest gameplay possible. Whether you're rocking a high-end setup or pushing an old toaster to its limits, we’ve got the best settings to keep you sharp, fast, and in control.

Best Display Settings for FragPunk

FragPunk’s Display Settings don’t impact FPS much, but choosing the right options ensures smooth gameplay and better visuals.

Display Mode - Borderless: Easier alt-tabbing and smooth transitions.
Display Ratio - 16:9: Standard for most monitors.
FOV - 110: Wider vision and better awareness.
Post Processing Intensity - None: Reduces unnecessary visual clutter.
Menu Frame Limit - 60 FPS: Keeps menus smooth without wasting resources.
Gameplay Frame Rate Limit - Unlimited or Match Monitor Rate: Higher FPS equals a better response time.
Out of Focus FPS Limit - 10-30 FPS: Saves power when minimized.
Sharpen - 1.5: Keeps details clear without over-sharpening.
V-Sync - Off: Reduces input lag.
Anti-Tearing - On (DirectX12), Off (DirectX11): Helps prevent screen tearing.
Graphics API - DX12 for RT, DX11 for lower VRAM: DX12 enables ray tracing, DX11 saves memory.

For most players, DX12 is recommended unless you have a low-end GPU with less than 8GB VRAM. V-Sync should always be OFF unless you're experiencing screen tearing.

Best Graphics Settings for FragPunk

FragPunk is well-optimized, but maxing out settings can tank FPS. These settings prioritize performance without making the game look terrible.

Upsampling & Anti-Aliasing - DLSS 4 (RTX)/FSR 3 (AMD)/TAA (no upscaling): Upscaling boosts FPS without losing quality.
Resolution Quality - 100% (no upscaling): Keeps visuals sharp.
Frame Generation - Off: Not ideal for fast-paced PvP.
Low Latency Mode - Nvidia Reflex: According to your GPU.
Mesh Quality - High: Keeps character models sharp.
Shadow Quality - Low: Balanced between clarity and performance.
Post Processing - Low: Reduces unnecessary visual effects.
Texture Quality - Depends on VRAM: High if you have 8GB+ VRAM.
Effect Quality - Low: Keeps explosions and particles manageable.
Screen Space Reflection - Off: Unnecessary for competitive play.
Weapon Depth of Field - Off: No blur when aiming.
Weapon Dynamic Blur - Off: Keeps gun movement clean.
Scene Dynamic Blur - Off: Removes unnecessary blur.
Ray Tracing - Off: Too demanding for PvP gameplay.
SSGI (Screen Space Global Illumination) - Off: Not needed for competitive play.
UI Resolution - High: Keeps HUD elements sharp.
Animation Physics - On: Keeps character movement smooth.

Turning off motion blur, reflections, and post-processing effects helps keep the screen clean. DLSS (Nvidia) or FSR (AMD) are great for boosting FPS while keeping visuals crisp.

At the bottom of the Video tab, there’s a Benchmark Tool that lets you test your performance. Alternatively, jump into a private match and tweak the settings to see what works best for you.

Best Minimalist Graphics Settings for FragPunk

If you prefer clarity over flashy visuals, Minimalist Mode removes excess effects and UI clutter. It’s a good setting to experiment with. There is a slight FPS gain here as well, but nothing too crazy. Try it on your own and see if you like it. If you do consider turning it on you can use the following settings.

Material Complexity - Minimalist
Light Complexity - Simplified/Minimalist
Screen Saturation - Minimalist
Effects Complexity - Minimalist
Dead Effect - Off
Damage Numbers - On
UI Info Simplification - On
UI Animation Reduction - On

In short, this mode is great if you want to remove unnecessary effects, making enemy outlines, movement, and shots stand out more.

Additional Tweaks for Better Gameplay

While these settings don’t affect framerate, they can improve gameplay experience. You will find these settings in the General tab. There are many more settings apart from these that you should try experimenting with. Because these are mostly personal preferences, we didn’t mention them here.

Camera Shake During Sprint - Off: Less motion distraction.
FOV Sprint Scaling - Off: Prevents weird screen warping.
Flash Eye Guarding Mode - On: Reduces eye strain from flashes.
Performance Metrics - On: Allows you to see your FPS, latency, and other stats.

FragPunk Crosshair Settings: Best Setup for Accuracy

Your crosshair is more than just a dot on the screen—it’s the key to hitting your shots. A bad crosshair makes aiming frustrating, while a well-optimized one keeps your focus sharp. Since FragPunk offers extensive customization, you can tweak everything from shape and size to outline transparency to find what works best for you.

Here’s how each setting works and the best way to adjust it for maximum accuracy.

Customizing Your Crosshair

In the Settings Menu, navigate to General > Crosshair Settings to access the customization options. Fragpunk is a tactical shooter, so our guide for CS2 crosshairs is also applicable here, if you already play CS2.

Type: Changes crosshair style (dot, cross, hybrid).
Central Dot: Adds a small dot in the center.
Central Dot Size: Adjusts the size of the dot.
Horizontal & Vertical Length: Controls crosshair size.
Horizontal & Vertical Thickness: Adjusts line thickness.
Center Gap: Controls the space in the middle.
Outline: Adds an outer border for visability.
Outline Size: Adjusts outline thickness.
Outline Transparency: Makes the outline less opaque.
Rotation: Rotates the crosshair shape.
Color: Changes the crosshair color.

We recommend:

Type - Cross: Best for tracking and precision.
Central Dot - Off (unless you prefer a dot-only crosshair)
Central Dot Size - 0.5 (if enabled)
Horizontal & Vertical Length - 0-3: Personal preference.
Horizontal & Vertical Thickness - 6-7: This is visible, but not distracting.
Center Gap - 0-1: A smaller gap for better precision.
Outline - On: This helps against bright backgrounds.
Outline Size - 0.5: Thin, but visible.
Outline Transparency - 0.74: Not too bright or faded.
Rotation - 0: No need to rotate.
Color - Cyan #00FFFF: Stands out on most maps.

Best Crosshair Settings for Aim Improvement

A good crosshair should be simple and static to ensure precision aiming. Avoid using thick or animated crosshairs, as they can be distracting, making it harder to focus on targets. The color of the crosshair is important as well. Bright colors like Cyan, Green, or Magenta stand out on most backgrounds, while Red or White may blend into certain maps, making them harder to see in fast-paced fights, so avoid using those colors for your crosshair.

Apart from that, a crosshair is a massively personal preference, so hop into the practice range and experiment with different crosshairs until you find what you are looking for.

Conclusion

At its core, FragPunk is a competitive title, so configuring your settings is highly recommended for a smooth experience. These settings are tuned for performance, so you can get the maximum frames possible.
