As we can see in the video, in FragPunk players can take on the role of various heroes, each specialized in different areas and equipped with unique abilities. Various can be used in the game cards to activate effects which have a great impact on game dynamics.

For example, the “Strange Herbs” card causes thick vegetation to grow throughout the map, drastically reducing visibility and benefiting stealth-focused characters. “Big Heads”, on the other hand, enlarges the heads of enemies beyond belief, to the delight of the characters with sniper rifles.
