FragPunk Guide | Hollowpoint Character Abilities

Hollowpoint is a precision-focused Lancer in FragPunk who excels at long-range elimination and tactical vision control. This character combines devastating sniper capabilities with smoke deployment and enemy detection tools.

Understanding Hollowpoint's kit will help you control sight lines while gathering crucial information about enemy positions.

Charging Sniper

Your primary weapon is a sniper rifle that charges up while you aim down sights. This charging mechanism is crucial to the weapon's effectiveness, as a fully charged shot can eliminate enemies with a single body shot.

The charging system honors people who are patient and time their moves perfectly. This makes placing and pre-aiming very important skills.

This gun can kill with just one shot, which makes it very powerful in the right hands. You can kill enemies from far away without having to hit them in the head, which gives you a lot of pressure potential across maps.

The charging requirement means you need to anticipate enemy movements and pre-charge when possible to maximize your effectiveness.

Your positioning becomes critical when using this weapon, as you need time to charge shots and clear sight lines to be effective. Learning common angles and pre-positioning for engagements will help you make the most of the sniper's elimination potential.

Smoke Screen

Your second ability creates a directional smoke screen that blocks vision in whatever direction you choose to deploy it. Unlike traditional smoke grenades, this smoke screen continues projecting until you manually stop it, giving you complete control over the duration and coverage area.

The directional nature of this smoke means you can create precise vision blocks exactly where you need them. You can block specific sight lines while leaving others open, allowing for tactical smoke deployment that benefits your team's positioning.

The ability to stop the smoke when needed means you can time your vision blocks with team movements.

This smoke works particularly well with your other abilities, allowing you to block enemy vision while still maintaining your own information gathering capabilities through your detection tools.

Vision Trap

Your third ability deploys a detection trap that reveals enemies in its area through walls. This wallhack effect provides crucial information about enemy positions and movements. However, the trap must be placed on the ground and cannot be thrown in the air, limiting your deployment options.

You can combine this trap with your smoke screen to maintain vision on enemies while denying their vision of you. This combination allows you to track enemy movements through smoke while keeping them blind to your position.

However, you need to expose yourself slightly when placing the trap to get maximum value from optimal positioning.

The through-wall detection makes this ability valuable for gathering information about enemy rotations, checking common hiding spots, and tracking enemies around corners. The trap works well for monitoring key choke points or areas where enemies commonly position themselves.
