Quick Guide to Unlocking Lancers in FragPunk

Like many free-to-play competitive hero shooters, FragPunk requires players to unlock its characters, known as Lancers. Progressing through the game to obtain the complete roster can take a significant amount of time. Fortunately, there are effective strategies that can help you unlock these heroes more rapidly.

To embark on your quest to unlock Lancers, start by navigating to the “Arsenal” tab on the main menu. Within this section, you will find the “Lancers” subcategory, where the entire roster is displayed. Most Lancers will be locked initially, requiring either a purchase or a Lancer Statue to unlock. The cost for each Lancer is set at 18, 888 Gold or 488 FragPunk Coins. Gold can be easily accumulated through gameplay, while FragPunk Coins serve as premium currency available for real money purchase.

Players often rely on Gold, the free currency, for unlocking Lancers. By playing regularly, completing objectives, and participating in in-game events, you will gradually gather enough Gold not only to unlock all the Lancers but also to have some leftover for basic items. However, accumulating sufficient Gold can be time-consuming, especially if you only log in for a game or two each week. While 488 FragPunk Coins can be purchased for approximately $4.99, buying in this manner also provides a bonus of 505 FragPunk Coins.

That said, considering spending real money on premium currency might be better invested in acquiring a seasonal battle pass, which generally offers greater overall value and rewards.

To maximize your Gold earnings, focus on playing the standard game mode instead of other options like Outbreak, Arcade, or Team Deathmatch. The standard or ranked modes yield the highest experience and account progression, leading to more Gold earnings. However, don’t shy away from fulfilling quests and challenges across different game modes as they can provide additional benefits.

As part of your starting rewards for logging into FragPunk, you will receive several attractive bonuses. Among these, the second reward is a Lancer Statue, a useful item that allows you to unlock any Lancer of your choice.

Be prudent with your usage of the Lancer Statue, as accumulating enough Gold to unlock new Lancers takes time. As you progress further in the game and unlock more features, such as the Scavenger Imp at level 10, you’ll be able to passively generate Gold even during breaks from playing.
