Many games struggle with optimization issues at launch, requiring subsequent patches to smooth things out. However, *FragPunk* has enjoyed a smooth run since its release, though there's always room for a few more frames. Here, we'll dive into the best settings and crosshair codes for *FragPunk* to help you optimize your gameplay experience.
FragPunk Settings Overview
The settings in *FragPunk* are categorized into five tabs. While most settings outside the Video tab focus on quality-of-life and accessibility, they can still enhance your gameplay experience. We'll cover the essential settings here, but feel free to adjust the others to suit your preferences.
General
The General tab hosts most of the quality-of-life and personal preference settings. Experiment with these to find what works best for you. 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

This tab also includes options for customizing your crosshair, which we'll discuss later.
Keyboard/Controller
This section allows you to tweak your control binds. With Automatic Sprint enabled, you can repurpose the Shift key for walking, a common practice in tactical shooters like *VALORANT* and *CS2*.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity settings are highly personal. Feel free to adjust them or use an online calculator to convert settings from games like *VALORANT* or *CS2*.
Audio
For the best audio experience, set the Sound Effects volume to a comfortable level and lower the Music, Announcer, and Button Volume. Enable Character Voice Simplification to minimize unnecessary chatter. Voice chat settings are up to your preference.
