Many games launch with optimization issues, later patched in updates. *FragPunk*, however, has enjoyed relatively smooth performance since release. While there's always room for improvement, here's how to optimize your *FragPunk* settings and some recommended crosshair codes for a better experience.
Recommended FragPunk Settings Overview
The *FragPunk* settings are divided into five tabs. Beyond the Video tab, most settings are quality-of-life or accessibility options with minimal performance impact. However, some can significantly enhance gameplay. We'll highlight those here; others can be left at default or adjusted to your preference.
General Settings
The General tab offers several quality-of-life and personal preference adjustments. Experiment to find what suits your playstyle. Key settings to consider include:
- 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
- Ping Visibility – 1
- Hide Overly Visible Skin Components from Enemies – On
The General tab also includes crosshair customization options (discussed later).
Keyboard/Controller Settings
Customize your keybinds as needed. A useful tip: since we enabled Automatic Sprint, consider binding walk to Shift, mirroring common setups in games like *VALORANT* and *CS2*.
Sensitivity Settings
Sensitivity is entirely personal preference. Experiment, or use online calculators to convert settings from other games like *VALORANT* or *CS2*.
Audio Settings
Adjust Sound Effects to a comfortable level. Lower Music, Announcer, and Button Volume. Enable Character Voice Simplification to reduce unnecessary audio clutter. Voice chat settings are a matter of personal preference.

FragPunk Best Video Settings
The Video tab is crucial for performance optimization. The following settings prioritize frames per second (FPS), potentially sacrificing some visual fidelity. Since *FragPunk* is a competitive shooter, high FPS is paramount. Players with high-end PCs might tolerate higher quality settings, but these are generally recommended for optimal performance.
Display Settings
| Display Screen | Your Preferred Monitor |
| Display Mode | Fullscreen |
| Display Ratio | Monitor’s Default |
| Display Resolution | Monitor’s Native |
| FOV | 125 |
| Filter | Default or Personal Preference |
| Post Processing Intensity | None or Low |
| Menu Frame Rate Limit | 60 |
| Gameplay Framerate Limit | Monitor’s Refresh Rate |
| Out of Focus Framerate Limit | 60 |
| Brightness | 1 or adjust according to preference |
| Sharpen | Same as Brightness |
| Vertical Sync | Off |
| Antii-tearing | Off |
| Graphics API | Experiment with DX11 and 12 to see what works best with your system |
Minimalistic Graphics Settings
Activating Minimalistic graphics significantly reduces visual effects, resulting in a 15-20 FPS gain (based on testing). However, this noticeably impacts visual quality. Consider enabling it only if you prioritize performance over visuals. Use the following settings in conjunction with Minimalistic graphics:
| Material Complexity | Minimalistic |
| Light Complexity | Minimalistic |
| Scene Saturation | Minimalistic |
| Effects Complexity | Minimalistic |
| Dead Effect | Off |
| Damage Numbers | On |
| UI Info Simplification | On |
| UI Animation Simplification | Off |
Graphics Quality Settings
| Quality Presets | Custom |
| Upscaling and Anti-Aliasing | Depending on your GPU, choose FSR 2 with Performance for AMD GPUs or NVIDIA Image Scaling with Performance for NVIDIA GPUs. You can also just set it to NOAA with 100% if you don’t want to use any upscaling. |
| Mesh Quality | Low |
| Shadow Quality | Medium |
| Post Processing | Low |
| Texture Quality | Low |
| Effect Quality | Low |
| Screen Space Reflections | High |
| Weapon Depth of Field | Off |
| Weapon Dynamic Blur | On |
| Scene Dynamic Blur | Off |
| Ray Tracing | Off |
