FragPunk has added Farlands, a permanent delivery-focused PvPvE adventure now in global early access for PC and consoles. The shared, persistent world supports dozens of players. FragPunk is free to play on Xbox, according to the Xbox Wire announcement.
Farlands sends players out on delivery jobs that combine hauling cargo, collecting resources and fighting. Cargo weight, environmental changes and meetings with other players can alter a run’s outcome. Completing deliveries supplies resources that players can put toward better personal equipment and base development.
Servers run in five-day cycles, and their in-game clocks keep moving. Players can revisit the same server for orders, resource collection and combat. Fighting enemies helps change faction levels, which in turn affect how many hostile forces appear, where they are located and how strong they are.
Clearing an outpost does not guarantee lasting safety. Enemies can return over time with greater strength, while defeating tougher opponents can yield rarer resources. Heat, cold and rain also make health drain faster and influence cargo transport, adding environmental pressures to delivery planning.
Global voice chat and emotes let players communicate while fighting or delivering. Those interactions can produce temporary cargo escorts, but an apparent ally can later attack and take the loot.
Equipment pieces directly affect character stats, and the announcement recommends matching gear sets to improve performance. Hub NPCs offer equipment upgrades as server conditions become more dangerous. Improving a base opens more advanced crafting, character skill trees and extra cargo storage. Scavenging can also uncover blueprints, while vehicles form another part of the mode’s progression options.
