FragPunk’s Farlands Opens Early Access With 5-Day PvPvE Server Cycles

Weather can drain health and complicate cargo transport, while cleared outposts may grow hostile again as enemies return stronger.

FragPunk’s Farlands is now available in Global Early Access on PC and console, adding a permanent multiplayer PvPvE adventure built around risky deliveries. Xbox Wire’s launch announcement describes a shared world for dozens of players, where cargo runs mix resource gathering with fights against creatures, factions and other players.

Deliveries involve more than reaching a destination. Cargo weight, weather and player encounters can affect a run, while heat, cold and rain drain health and complicate cargo transport. Each server operates on a five-day cycle as in-game time continues to pass, so players can return to the same evolving environment.

Combat activity changes faction levels, which affect the strength, number and distribution of hostile forces. Clearing an outpost does not guarantee it will stay safe. Enemies may return stronger, and defeating tougher opponents can reward rarer resources.

Global voice chat and emotes let players communicate during deliveries and combat. Strangers might agree to escort valuable cargo, then turn on each other when the loot is within reach. Successful deliveries provide resources for improving personal equipment and bases. Hub upgrades unlock advanced crafting, skill trees and more cargo storage, while blueprints found during scavenging open up further progression options, including vehicles.

Farlands also adds Courier, a new Lancer with abilities designed for the adventure, alongside FragPunk’s 5v5 Shard Clash mode. FragPunk is free to play on Xbox, with PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate also listed.

How would you approach a delivery when weather, enemies and other players can all change the trip? For more on Farlands’ evolving servers and cargo runs, connect with us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam and Telegram.
