Enter the world ofFragPunk, Bad Guitar Studio’sfree-to-play hero shooter with a twist. In this wild, fast-paced action game, players compete in two teams of five, with two objectives in mind: plant or defuse the Converter and eliminate the opposition. The competition is fierce, especially when factoring in all the game-changing elements players have at their disposal.
Whilethe game’s Shard Card systemmay take some getting used to, one thing that players may adjust to rather quickly is the game’s roster of characters, also known as Lancers. Lancers offer a diverse range of skills, each catering to different playstyles and capable of shifting the tide of battle.Here is a deep dive into Lancers inFragPunk, from what they are to all of their abilities.
What Are Lancers In FragPunk?
Lancers are the unique characters that players can play as inFragPunk. Each Lancer has their very own set of unique abilities known as Skills, with some specializing in defense, healing, or offense. During a game, players canselect their desired Lancer during the rule-making and preparation phasesbefore a round begins. Players can also change their Lancer during these phases in subsequent rounds if they wish, but they will be unable to switch characters once a round has started.
Typically,only one player can play a particular Lancer at a time, meaning that more often than not, if a player chooses a Lancer, other players will be unable to select that same Lancer as their own. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as when the Clone Tech Shard Card is in play.
