How Ranked Works & How to Unlock It

To access ranked mode in Fragpunk, reach account level 30 by playing modes like Shard Clash, Outbreak, and Rocketeers. Earn Account Points (AP) for every match, winning and strong performances give bonus AP, but even losses still grant XP.

Fragpunk’s rank system follows a tiered progression (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.), with five divisions per tier. Advance by earning 100 RP (rank points) per division. Each match’s outcome and personal performance impact RP gain or loss.

Master Meta Lancers: Fragpunk ranked is highly meta-dependent. Focus on S- and A-tier Lancers who offer utility, mobility, or game-changing power. See our full [tier list].

Shard Card Combo Timing: Save Shard Points for strong card combos late-game, or counter enemy picks in real-time. Ban S-tier threat cards if you’re on defense. Communicate your card choices every round for maximum synergy.

Team Communication: Always let teammates know your plans, solo heroics rarely win ranked. Plan site executes, call out card combos, and trade frags whenever possible.

Advanced Ranked Climbing Tactics

  • Movement Mastery: Strafe while shooting, recoil is lowest while moving, not standing.
  • Pre-firing: Anticipate enemy positions and “pre-fire” common corners for free kills.
  • Flank Control: Always watch your back or partner up with a teammate for safe trades.
  • XP/Win Streaks: Outbreak & Rocketeer modes often grant fast AP for quick climbing.
  • Performance & Settings: Optimize FPS and controls for sharper aim and reaction time.
