The new kid on the block here is FragPunk, an online competitive FPS that feels like a noisy flashy version of Counter-Strike blended with Valorant and the good news is the anti-cheat is enabled for Linux / Steam Deck.

    9 in-game currencies. Looks like it’s a typical “you’ll make zero progress for free, this game is designed to catch whales” kinda game.

    Edit: Also has a kernel-level anti-cheat that causes your whole OS to freeze.

      Not defending the mobile game like currencies because they are obnoxious, but similarly to Marvel Rivals (both NetEase games), it is actually pretty generous with the free content. The shop skins are overpriced and obviously meant for whales, but you get a lot of free shit. I assume the battle pass will work like Rivals where it doesnt expire, has a lot of skins, and you get most of the currency back.

      Its a hell of a lot better than Valorant, which is the most similar game gameplay wise.

      Also, the kernel level anticheat doesnt matter when playing on Linux where it can’t run at a kernel level.

      So you wont play any game which chooses to make their anticheat support Linux, on the premise that they might stop doing that?

      This game has been working well since beta. Its also made by the NetEase, the same people as Marvel Rivals, which has made active efforts to work on Linux. They even included a fix specifically for Bazzite in the patch notes.
