Fragpunk was revealed during Summer Games Fest last year, and anticipation behind its release was strong, and the game has finally premiered on PC.
Players diving into the new team shooter will quickly want to know what each Lancer does within the game.
Here's what we know.
Fragpunk: All Lancers/Characters Explained
Fragpunk take a unique spin on the hero-shooter genre, as instead of just regular guns blazing gameplay, you'll have to select Lancer, and equip specific Shard Cards to go alongside them.
