Quick Links
Like most hero shooters,FragPunkhas a diverse array of Lancers to choose from when it comes to winning a match. Each Lancer has a unique set of abilities that can include special weapons, healing buffs, or passives that can turn the tide of a match.
Hollowpoint is an excellent starter choice if you’re diving into the game for the first time and aren’t quite sure where to start. Her abilities are engaging, but relatively straightforward. But, she still has a decently high level of skill expression for veterans of hero shooters. Here’s everything you need to know to play Hollowpoint in FragPunk.
How Hollowpoint’s Abilities Work
Like most of the Lancers in FragPunk,Hollowpoint has three key abilitiesthat separate her from the pack. Her abilities grant her high-damage, and a decent amount of reconnaissance.
Meterora
Damage
This activates a single-shot rail gun that charges up and can detect enemies in range.
Smoke Screen
Recon
This deploys a smoke screen that moves forward, revealing enemies that come into contact with it.
Paparazzi
Trap
Deploys a trap that automatically attaches to an enemy on contact, revealing their location.
While Hollowpoint does do great damage herself,make sure you’re using her abilities to help expose enemiesfor your teammates.
How To Play Hollowpoint
Hollowpoint’s abilities are all about revealing enemiesand taking them out with quick, decisive shots with Meterora. This ability needs to charge up to be used, so don’t just run in guns-a-blazin'.
You’ll want to get into a basic rhythm with Hollowpoint in order to be successful.
Although Hollowpoint has defensive abilities that allow her to reveal enemy locations, that doesn’t mean you can’t play aggressive.
If you’re a great marksman and have good gunplay skills,you may play forward with your Meterora and take decisive kills.
How To Play Hollowpoint On Attack
While the above breakdown demonstrates how to play Hollowpoint generally, you’ll also want tomake sure you’re adjusting your strategy based on whether you’re playing attack or defense.
Details
Clearing Long Hallways
Many maps have very long hallways on the way to each respective defense point.
Because Hollowpoint is a great long-ranged sniper,she can clear exposed areas with her Meterora.
Guarding The Converter
Once you’ve planted the Converter, you’ll want toset up at least one Paparazzi trap in an exposed doorso that you may cover all your exposed angles.
Place this trap decently far away so you have time to react to incoming enemies.
How To Play Hollowpoint On Defense
If you’re defending, Hollowpoint plays slightly differently, though you’ll still want tomake sure you’re taking advantage of her long sight lines and recon abilities.
Guarding Chokes
Sometimes, it’s best tolet enemies come through choke pointsso you can take advantage.
Thanks to Hollowpoint’s long sight lines,she is great at guarding tight entryways from a distance, or by using Paprazzi traps.
Blocking Enemy Sight Lines
Smoke Screen has a secondary usage. While it reveals enemies, you can alsouse Smoke Screen to block enemy sight lines.
When you’re in the thick of a gun fight, use this to grant yourself a reprieve.
After using Smoke Screen, you may walk slowly behind it, giving you the ability to sneak up on enemieswith a melee attack without them being able to see you.
Or, you can use Smoke Screen to escape, blocking enemy sight lines if you find yourself outnumbered.
