FragPunk Cheats and Hacks — Aimbot, ESP, and Wallhacks That Read Every Shard Card

Shard Cards rewrite every round, Phanuel scans every process — undetected FragPunk hacks that adapt to Big Heads hitboxes, track Lancers through Map Card geometry, and survive the weekly ban wave.

What Is FragPunk? The 5v5 Hero Shooter Where Every Round Has Different Rules

FragPunk launched on PC on March 6, 2025 and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on April 29, 2025. Developed by Bad Guitar Studio and published by NetEase Games, the game is described on its Steam page as "a thrilling 5v5 hero shooter where Shard Cards allow you to break the rules of combat and ensure that no two rounds are ever the same." Steam user reviews sit at "Mostly Positive" with 75% of 23,197 lifetime reviews and 78% of the last 547 reviews rating positively. The game is free-to-play across PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass.

The main mode is Shard Clash, a bomb-defuse format where attackers plant the Converter at Site A or B while defenders try to stop them or run down the clock. What makes FragPunk different from every other tactical shooter is the Shard Card draft before each round. NetEase launched the game with 169 Shard Cards, 13 Lancers, 7 Shard Clash maps, and dozens of game modes, and Creative Director Xin Chang stated the goal was to "introduce greater strategic depth and limitless possibilities to the traditional FPS genre." By Season 4 Chapter 2 (March 2026), the roster has expanded to 18 Lancers across 10+ Shard Clash maps, and the card pool rotates every chapter. Cards like Big Heads double the head hitbox, Bio-Warrior revives dead teammates as zombie fighters, Site Deletion removes one bomb site entirely, and Pull the Plug disables all cards the opponent drafted. Every round gets its own ruleset.

FragPunk Aimbot — Locking Heads That Change Size Every Round

You're holding Tundra B-site with a Resolver. The enemy Card Captain just committed Big Heads — every skull on the server doubled in diameter five seconds ago. Your crosshair sits dead-center on the first peek and your damage number reads 68. That's not a miss. Big Heads inflated the hitbox volume by roughly 100%, but Bad Guitar shifted the center point outward instead of keeping it at the skull's visual center. A standard aimbot's "nearest bone" logic picks the outer surface and you deliver a shoulder graze on a one-shot weapon designed to deal 200. You traded the round because your software didn't know the card changed the skeleton.

A FragPunk aimbot is a targeting layer that computes bone positions for all 18 Lancers in real time, auto-adjusting field-of-view when Shard Cards like Big Heads double hitboxes or Bio-Warrior respawns teammates with a different skeleton. It reads target data from Unreal Engine memory structures and recalibrates per-round based on the active card state — something a static config file can never do.

Compare that to Valorant aimbot settings where hitbox sizes never change round to round. Or Marvel Rivals hacks which face the same NEAC driver family but a roster that doesn't get rewritten by opponent-controlled modifiers. FragPunk is the only title where your aimbot has to check what card is active before the first bullet leaves the chamber.

FragPunk Aimbot Under Big Heads and Bio-Warrior

Big Heads is the card that exposes every aimbot that wasn't built for FragPunk. When hitbox volume inflates, the FOV cone needs to shrink proportionally — otherwise the lock algorithm selects the nearest bone surface point rather than the head's shifted center, and you get edge hits on a target you should be dropping in one shot from the Resolver. The aimbot's FOV slider pulls from 18° down to 9° automatically when Big Heads activates, keeping lock-on centered through the inflated geometry regardless of whether you're aiming at a Hollowpoint, a Pathojen, or the new Wildstyle graffiti model.

Bio-Warrior is the other skeleton problem. When a teammate dies under this card's effect, they respawn as a zombie with a bone hierarchy that doesn't match any standard Lancer — the head bone sits lower relative to the visible model, the arm bones extend forward, and the hitbox center shifts toward the chest. Without a skeleton whitelist that distinguishes zombie models from living Lancers, the aimbot treats reanimated teammates as valid targets. The Skip Friendlies filter cross-references team ID against entity data before any lock engages, so your own zombie Broker running at the enemy with melee doesn't pull your crosshair off a real Phanuel-flagged Kismet flanking through the back.

Choosing between bone lock and head lock depends on the weapon in hand and the cards in play. The Resolver's one-shot headshot at any range makes head lock the default — but when the enemy activates Double HP and your single shot becomes a 50% health bar, bone lock to the upper chest extends your effective range on the follow-up. The Fever assault rifle rewards headshots with a stacking damage multiplier, so head lock stays correct there even under Double HP. The Ghost Pepper's fire-rate acceleration means bone lock to the torso catches more rounds once the spool-up kicks in. Three weapons, three different correct answers, and the card state flips the math on all of them.

FragPunk ESP — Reading the Lancer Comp Before the Shard Cards Load

The worst feeling in FragPunk isn't dying to a Resolver headshot. It's holding A-site on Tundra for 70 seconds while all five enemies planted the Converter at B, and realizing post-round that a Rule Card muffled footstep audio by 50% and you never heard them leave. You played the angle correctly. You watched the doorway. Your information channel was audio, and the enemy Card Captain closed it. Every system that relies on in-game audio or visual peeking breaks the moment a card shuffles the parameters you were reading. The question is what information source doesn't break when the cards land.

That source is entity data. FragPunk ESP renders player outlines, health bars, Lancer identity, and distance through all surfaces in real time. It pulls entity data from Unreal Engine world actors — the one game-state channel that Shard Cards can't corrupt, because cards modify rules and geometry but never the positional arrays the server holds. You see who the enemy picked, where they are, and what shape their health is in, regardless of whether the card in play muffled audio, shifted cover, or recolored the minimap.

Lancer Identity and Card Strategy at the Draft Screen

Here's where FragPunk ESP stops being a name-tag tool and starts being a draft tool. Seeing that the enemy composition is Spider, Zephyr, Kismet, Hurricane, and Pathojen tells you their card plan before the first card commits. Spider's teleport trap plus any teleportation-boosting card is a flank execute through unconventional angles. Zephyr's melee-only cloak pairs with Vampire Bullet for a self-sustaining assassin who picks off isolated defenders. Kismet's through-wall scan plus Hurricane's lightning blind sets up a zero-vision wipe if the Captain commits Pull the Plug against your utility. Pathojen backs the whole thing up as the only dedicated healer in the 18-Lancer roster. Knowing the comp during prep phase turns the pre-round draft from a guessing game into a counter-draft — you ban the card that enables their kit, not the card that sounds scariest.

On Dongtian — the three-level ancient-architecture map with the rotating flaming statue at mid — the distance readout becomes critical information that name tags alone can't convey. An enemy 35 meters away on Dongtian could be on the rooftop above the Converter, in the basement below it, or on the far side of the map at the same elevation. The ESP distance counter combined with vertical indicator arrows resolves the ambiguity: a Hollowpoint at 35 meters on the upper ring is about to take the railgun angle on your spawn rotation; the same tag on the lower ring is repositioning for a heaven hold. Similar verticality challenges exist in Deadlock ESP setups, but Dongtian's compressed three-story layout makes misreading elevation a round-losing mistake rather than a minor positioning error.

Health bar tracking solves a problem unique to FragPunk's Shard Point economy. Shard Points accrue through eliminations, assists, and objective time — they're the currency you spend activating cards in later rounds. Knowing an enemy is at 30 HP through ESP means you can secure the kill with a sidearm peek instead of investing a Resolver shot, saving your primary ammo for a full-health target while still banking the Shard Points from the confirmed frag. The card economy rewards aggressive confirmation over passive holds, and ESP turns every low-health enemy into a Shard Point opportunity your team can't afford to miss when the next round's Double HP or Piercing Bullet is sitting in the Captain's pick window.

Wallhack — Seeing Through Yggdrasil's Canopy and Akhet's Sandstone

A FragPunk wallhack modifies material rendering in the Unreal Engine pipeline so walls, crates, destructible cover, and Shard-Card-spawned obstacles render semi-transparent while Lancer models stay fully opaque. Unlike ESP overlays that draw name tags on top of the existing scene, wallhack works at the geometry level — it reads what the engine sees, not what the HUD draws. The result is a map that looks like a glass diorama where every Lancer is visible regardless of what pillar, doorframe, or mid-round card effect stands between you and them.

FragPunk's maps are cluttered by design. Yggdrasil wraps both Converter sites around a massive tree trunk whose canopy blocks overhead sightlines and drops leaf particle effects that obscure peripheral vision on every A-to-heaven rotation. Akhet stacks sandstone pillars and archways across every approach lane, creating angles that are impossible to pre-aim without memorizing 15 different peek positions. Black Market fills corridors with neon signage, market stalls, and hanging fabric that moves with player displacement. Toyland ships with a layout so close to CS2's Inferno that Esports Insider called it a near-1:1 copy — which means every angle a CS2 player memorized on Inferno carries over to Toyland unchanged.

When Map Cards Rearrange the Geometry You Memorized

And then Map Cards make all that clutter worse. Cover Shift rearranges the position of certain cover objects mid-match, which means the headshot angle you held on Outpost last round might now be blocked by a crate that wasn't there 90 seconds ago. Wallhack neutralizes both the static clutter of maps like Yggdrasil and the dynamic geometry shifts from Map Cards — because it reads material data from the rendering pipeline, not pre-set map layouts. The engine updates the object's material properties at its new coordinates the moment Cover Shift resolves, and wallhack renders those new positions transparent without caring where they used to be.

Similar transparency logic drives CS2 wallhacks, but CS2 doesn't have opponent-controlled cards adding a third bomb site mid-round. On Akhet, Site Deletion removes one Converter site entirely for the round. All five attackers now funnel toward the remaining site through a narrowed set of approach lanes. Wallhack shows the stack forming behind sandstone walls before anyone peeks, turning a defensive 1v5 choke point into a pre-aimed Resolver headshot lane where you know exactly when and where the first face appears. Site Deletion was designed to create attacker pressure. Wallhack turns it into a pre-fire lane you set up in the 15 seconds before the round starts.

No Recoil — Holding the Ghost Pepper's Spool-Up Through Double HP

Every tac-shooter teaches you to burst-fire. Tap. Reset. Burst again. Then you pick up the Ghost Pepper and every habit you built works against you. Ghost Pepper is the only weapon in FragPunk with an accelerating fire rate — it starts sluggish and builds RPM the longer you hold the trigger, rewarding the exact spray-and-pray approach the rest of the game punishes. Release the trigger to reset recoil and you also reset the spool-up. Commit to the long hold and your crosshair climbs to the ceiling of Naos B-site by round 20 while the weapon finally reaches peak RPM against a target that just walked through your 2,000-bullet plume unscathed. You either fight the weapon's design or you fight the weapon's recoil. You can't fight both.

FragPunk no recoil neutralizes the vertical and horizontal kick patterns programmed into each of the roughly 19 weapons in the current rotation. It intercepts recoil vectors before they apply to the camera, keeping crosshair placement static through sustained fire — which is exactly the mechanic Ghost Pepper's spool-up demands and exactly the mechanic your trigger discipline can't provide manually.

Fever, Discipline, Meat Maker — Weapon-Specific Recoil Profiles

Fever front-loads its recoil into the first five rounds of pronounced vertical climb while the Discipline spreads a gentler kick across its entire magazine — so no recoil compresses Fever's stacking-headshot-multiplier window into a two-burst kill at head level on Outpost, while adding almost nothing to the Discipline's already-flat pull. That asymmetry matters because the Discipline becomes a natural sensitivity calibration weapon: if you're A/B testing software against raw aim, the gun with the mildest pattern in FragPunk's primary pool is the one that isolates mouse input from compensation. Run your sensitivity checks on Discipline, then commit your setup to Fever where the first-burst headshot window is the actual round-winner.

Meat Maker is the shotgun that Season 4 Chapter 2 nerfed by reducing sprint speed while wielding it — a direct patch note from the March 26, 2026 update. That nerf pushed CQB players who used to rush corners with Meat Maker onto mid-range weapons like Ghost Pepper and Bad Reputation instead. Ghost Pepper absorbed the most displaced volume because it's the only LMG with the spool-up mechanic, which means the no-recoil value on Ghost Pepper actually increased after the S4 C2 patch even though nothing in the weapon's own recoil curve changed. The Resolver is a one-shot single-fire sniper and recoil doesn't apply between shots — no recoil adds zero value to Resolver gameplay. But the moment a Shard Card forces you off the Resolver — maybe the enemy committed Pull the Plug disabling your card setup, or a Rule Card scaled all sniper damage — you're switching to a Fever or Ghost Pepper mid-match without the muscle memory. No recoil running in the background means that weapon switch doesn't cost you spray control on a gun you haven't warmed up with.

FragPunk Radar — Tracking 10 Players Through Card-Muffled Audio

Ban timer on your screen reads 10 seconds. You're Card Captain, Diamond ranked, Tundra defense, round 6. The eight-card pick/ban window just opened. Enemy just finished their buy phase and your radar shows a 4-stack slotting behind A-site main and one Spider lurking B long. That's an A-execute with a B fake — and Mass Cheetah is sitting in your ban pool. Pick the ban and the Spider's teleport-trap flank arrives 4 seconds late. Miss it and the flank times with the execute and your 4-defender hold on A collapses as Spider appears behind your crossfire.

A FragPunk radar hack projects a real-time minimap overlay showing all 10 players' positions, movement vectors, and facing directions. It reads positional data from Unreal Engine actor arrays — the one game-state channel that Shard Cards can't corrupt. Audio muffle cards, vertical map layouts, and card-shifted cover all stop mattering when positions update at tick rate from the server's ground truth rather than from what your local client renders.

The Card Captain's Ban-Phase Advantage

At Diamond rank and above, the Card Captain role transforms radar from a positioning tool into a strategic draft weapon. During the roughly 12-second ban window before each round, radar shows where all five enemies positioned during setup. A 4-1 split with the 1 deep behind B on Tundra is a B-site lurker setting up a flank for an A-execute, which telegraphs that the enemy stacked mobility cards to enable the 4-to-A rotation after committing B on paper. Ban Mass Cheetah and the split collapses — the B lurker can't rotate to catch the A site post-plant. Radar turns the 12-second ban window from guesswork into a counter-draft based on spatial data the enemy doesn't know you have. Compare that to Apex Legends radar where the information advantage is purely spatial — in FragPunk, radar data directly informs the card-drafting metagame that determines round rules before anyone fires a shot.

Radar also solves FragPunk's vertical information gap on maps where ESP alone can mislead. On Dongtian, an enemy name tag through a wall at 35 meters gives you horizontal distance but not floor level. The radar minimap renders all three levels as concentric zones with distinct elevation markers — a Lancer on the rooftop appears in the outer ring, a Lancer in the basement appears in the inner ring, a Lancer on ground floor sits in the middle. That distinction matters when you're deciding whether to push the central staircase or hold the upper balcony angle on Dongtian's rotating flaming statue mid, because the rotation itself cycles wall positions every 20 seconds and audio cues from above and below blur into the same frequency band at close range.

How Phanuel Hunts FragPunk Cheats — And Where the Kernel Driver Has Gaps

Phanuel is FragPunk's kernel-level anti-cheat, a rebranded NEAC driver from the same NetEase family that runs Marvel Rivals and Naraka: Bladepoint. It loads FPSNeacSafe.sys into %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers on first launch and monitors process injection, memory reads, driver signing verification, and overlay rendering targeting the game process. In FragPunk's first month, Phanuel permanently banned 10,971 accounts with first-offense HWID enforcement — no warning, no suspension, no second chance.

You uninstall FragPunk and assume Phanuel leaves with it. It doesn't. EAC ties its driver to the game directory and removes itself cleanly. BattlEye follows a similar lifecycle. Phanuel's FPSNeacSafe.sys stays in System32\drivers indefinitely, verified by Steam forum complaint threads where users confirmed the file persists across full game uninstalls. That persistence means Phanuel can fingerprint your hardware — motherboard serial, GPU ID, network adapter MAC — across installations. Uninstall and reinstall doesn't reset the fingerprint. A new Steam account doesn't reset it either. The driver sits on disk even when you're not playing, waiting for the next launch to check you against the HWID table Bad Guitar maintains.

Ban Wave Trajectory — Reading the Weekly "Dear Lancers" Posts

Every Friday, Bad Guitar publishes a "Banned Players List" post that opens with "Dear Lancers:" and lists the exact account count from the past week. The early numbers were enormous. First three days: 271 bans. Week two: 3,323. Week three hit the all-time peak of 3,584 in a single wave. Month one closed at 10,971 permanent bans plus 120 teaming penalties. By mid-2025 the waves dropped to triple digits. By January 2026 they fell to 25-65 per week. That decline isn't detection weakening. It tracks the 98% playerbase collapse — fewer players means fewer cheaters means smaller weekly counts, while detection sensitivity stayed constant. Watching the pattern tells you when new signatures deploy (sudden spikes after Tuesday patches) and when the system runs on older detection profiles (flat baseline weeks).

FragPunk Phanuel Bypass — Where the Driver Has Blind Spots

Phanuel scans aggressively for process injection and unsigned driver loading. It checks overlay DLL attachment at render time and monitors memory read patterns against known cheat signatures. Where it struggles — relative to something like Riot's Vanguard in Valorant — is with hardware-level memory access. DMA cards reading game memory from a physically separate PC through a PCIe passthrough device operate below the OS kernel where Phanuel's driver runs, and community threads on UnknownCheats along with seller marketing across multiple providers confirm active DMA products surviving extended sessions through 2026. Phanuel's DMA detection layer hasn't matched its process-injection coverage — community reports suggest, and no NetEase or Bad Guitar statement addresses the gap.

Marvel Rivals cheats face the same NEAC lineage — both games run NetEase's kernel driver under different branding with different driver filenames. But FragPunk's free-to-play model creates a detection dynamic that Marvel Rivals doesn't share. A banned FragPunk account costs nothing to replace: new Steam account, re-download, back in queue within 20 minutes. That makes account-level bans meaningless as a deterrent. Phanuel compensates by making the HWID ban the real punishment — your hardware is flagged, not your account. A new account on banned hardware triggers an instant re-ban before the main menu loads. That's why the HWID spoofer matters more for FragPunk than for paid titles where account replacement already carries a financial cost.

One player-facing feature deserves mention because it reshapes the risk equation. FragPunk's cheater compensation system refunds roughly 25 ranked points when you lose a ranked match against a player who later gets confirmed as a cheater and appears on the next weekly list. No ticket. No appeal. The system scans ban wave data against match history and issues corrections retroactively. Phanuel publishes weekly ban counts, refunds RP to victims, and still leaves a kernel driver on your hard drive after you uninstall the game. The transparency and the persistence coexist.

Undetected FragPunk Hacks — Reading the Weekly Ban List as a Safety Signal

Tuesday 6 PM, patch day. Phanuel pushes new driver signatures alongside the Season 4 Chapter 2 weekly update. You check the status page and it reads "Updating." Your ranked session was supposed to start at 8 PM. You wait. Within hours, the bypass patch ships. Status flips back to "Undetected" at 9:15 PM. You queue into Shard Clash Advanced with 45 minutes left in your session window, knowing Friday's "Dear Lancers" ban list will tell you retroactively whether tonight's session was safe. That gap between "Updating" and "Undetected" is the difference between a Diamond player with an intact HWID and a hardware-banned one starting over with new PC components. The habit of checking status before every session isn't paranoia. It's the only rational response to a kernel anti-cheat that fingerprints your motherboard on first offense.

Undetected status for FragPunk hacks means the software has passed Phanuel's kernel-level signature scans, behavioral heuristics, and hardware fingerprinting without triggering a flag during the current detection cycle. Status is verified against live ban wave data published weekly by Bad Guitar Studio — an unusual transparency measure that lets users cross-reference detection claims against actual enforcement numbers.

Reading Weekly Ban Waves and Patch Cycles

Bad Guitar's Friday ban posts aren't just PR. They're a detection calendar. A ban wave of 3,500 accounts followed by two weeks of sub-200 bans — like the March 2025 sequence — suggests Phanuel deployed a new signature that caught a specific cheat build, then returned to baseline heuristic detection until the next signature push. Watching the pattern in April 2026 tells a different story: weekly counts of 25 to 65 reflect the smaller player base, not weakening detection, because detection sensitivity has stayed roughly constant while the cheater population scaled down with overall CCU. A spike in ban numbers the week after a major patch means Phanuel received updated signatures alongside the game update. Low numbers between patches mean the system is scanning for known signatures without new additions. If you see a 10x spike in the week after an update, you're looking at a signature deployment, and anything undetected as of that Friday is currently passing both the old and new signature sets.

FragPunk's free-to-play model complicates detection economics in a way that paid games don't face. A ban in Valorant or Counter-Strike 2 costs the cheater a game purchase. A ban in FragPunk costs 20 minutes of re-downloading on a new Steam account — unless Phanuel's HWID fingerprint is in play. That asymmetry means the real status question isn't "will my account survive?" but "will my hardware survive?" The DMA firmware layer adds another variable: your DMA rig reads game memory from a separate machine while the software bypass handles Phanuel's signature scans on your primary PC. Phanuel has to catch both simultaneously — the driver scanning your processes and the hardware reading your memory from a device it can't see — and right now community threads and seller marketing agree it catches one reliably and not the other. That's two detection problems for one kernel driver.

FragPunk Cheats FAQ — Shard Cards, Phanuel, and the Card Captain Meta

My Resolver one-shots at any range — does the aimbot still matter when Big Heads is active and I can hit skulls from spawn?

Big Heads doubles the head hitbox but shifts its center point outward, so your aimbot's "nearest bone surface" logic selects a shoulder-level edge instead of skull center. Without FOV auto-reduction, your Resolver delivers edge hits that deal 68 damage on a weapon designed to deal 200. The FragPunk aimbot pulls FOV from 18° down to 9° automatically under Big Heads, keeping the lock centered through the inflated geometry across every Lancer from Broker to Wildstyle.

Can ESP show which Shard Cards the enemy Card Captain drafted before the prep phase ends?

No — card selections aren't stored in accessible entity memory until activation fires. What ESP does show during prep is Lancer identity and positioning, which telegraphs the likely card strategy. Seeing Spider, Zephyr, and Kismet stacking one site means the enemy plans a flank execute paired with mobility and through-wall scan cards. You read the draft through composition data, not card data directly — that's how the Diamond+ Card Captains who counter-draft successfully do it.

Phanuel banned me on a free account. I made a new Steam account in 20 minutes — why am I still banned before reaching the main menu?

Phanuel fingerprints your motherboard serial, GPU ID, and network adapter MAC on first offense. A new Steam account doesn't reset any of those hardware identifiers. The kernel driver FPSNeacSafe.sys checks fingerprints at launch before the game loads its menu — that's why the re-ban is instant. Because FragPunk is free-to-play, Phanuel treats hardware as the real identity, not the account. An HWID spoofer that rotates fingerprinted components is the only way to clear the hardware flag.

Ghost Pepper's fire rate accelerates the longer I hold the trigger — does no recoil help more in the first 12 rounds or the late spray?

The late spray benefits most because Ghost Pepper's recoil climb compounds with the fire-rate acceleration. By the time the weapon reaches peak RPM, your crosshair is already climbing vertically — release the trigger to reset recoil and you also reset the spool-up. No recoil eliminates the climb so the late-spray window where the weapon hits maximum fire rate actually lands bullets on target, which is exactly when Ghost Pepper's DPS outperforms every other LMG and AR in FragPunk's current ~19-weapon pool.

Does wallhack still work when the enemy plays Cover Shift and rearranges the map geometry?

Your wallhack reads material data from the Unreal Engine rendering pipeline, not the map layout you memorized in practice mode. When Cover Shift moves a crate or wall panel to a new position, the engine updates the material properties for that object at its new coordinates. Wallhack renders those materials as semi-transparent regardless of where they sit on the map. A wall is still a wall to the rendering pipeline whether it spawned there at map load or got relocated by a Shard Card mid-round — and you see through it either way.

I'm Card Captain at Diamond — can radar help me decide which cards to ban in the 12-second window?

Radar shows enemy positioning during prep phase before the ban timer starts ticking. A 4-1 split with one Lancer lurking deep B on Tundra is an A-execute with B fake, which means the enemy stacked mobility cards to enable the 4-to-A rotation after committing B on paper. Ban Mass Cheetah to strand the B lurker and force a 4v5 on A. Radar turns the 12-second ban phase from guesswork into a counter-draft based on spatial intelligence the enemy doesn't know you have.

That round you lost on Tundra B-site because a Rule Card muffled audio and you couldn't hear the 4-stack leaving A doesn't have to be the pattern. Every feature covered above — from bone-lock aimbot that recalibrates under Big Heads to radar that feeds Card Captain bans with positional intel — runs beneath Phanuel's kernel driver with detection status verified against the weekly "Dear Lancers" ban list.
