- Devblog #3: Firepower, Creator Tools, and Playtest Sign-ups - 21 August 2026
New Firepower: AK-47 & Rocket LauncherWe're adding two new weapons to 4.0, an assault rifle and a rocket launcher:The rocket launcher features a very powerful blast radius which will one-shot players in the immediate radius, and modify their velocity if they manage to survive. Self-damage with the rocket launcher is reduced and can be used for fun movement mechanics.The AK47 is a fully automatic assault rifle which packs a punch at the cost of higher recoil.New Level EditorOur new level editor is significantly more powerful than before. It comes with new brush authoring tools, PBR materials, support for models, particle systems, and a visual scripting system.Visual ScriptingWe can now add logic into maps visual scripts. This opens up a ton of opportunities for new fun & dynamic gameplay elements, as opposed to previous versions of Fragsurf where maps were strictly static content.ModelsT…
- Squad Up: The Clans, Scrims, and Web Overhaul Update - 12 August 2026
Last week I shared news about Fragsurf's UI overhaul and a demo recording system coming to our next big update. This week, we're diving into the competitive update. Combat surf by nature is a very competitive experience. It's niche, hardcore, very difficult, but it's also very exciting and rewarding.Let's kick this off strong: in version 4.0, Fragsurf is getting a completely new competitive experience. We're adding clans, scrims, in-depth match reporting, leaderboards, and more.ClansPlayers can assemble their own clan and make it either public (open to anybody), invite on request (anybody can request to join, with a note), or invite-only.Clan tags are unique and will display in-game beside your name in chat, your profile, etc. Every clan has its own private chat lobby, which can be accessed either on the official Fragsurf website or through a slide-out menu in-game.To prevent spam creat…
- Fragsurf is Evolving: Sneak Peek at the New Replay System & UI - 6 August 2026
Fragsurf's development has been a bit of a slow burn, with our last public update rolling out a year and a half ago. But behind the scenes, the work hasn't stopped. Since that last release, I've pushed 18 private builds to test and debug new features.There are a lot of exciting things coming to Fragsurf, and we're finally getting close to our next public release: Version 4.0. This will be Fragsurf's largest update yet, setting the stage for a completely fresh combat surf experience.Starting today and leading up to the release of 4.0, I will be dropping regular updates to share some of the new features being added.UI OverhaulThe entire user interface of Fragsurf has been replaced with something cleaner and more intuitive. We'll start with the main menu:Along with the menu re-design, you can see some new in-game features coming to 4.0.Replays & KillcamsI've wanted to add replays to Fragsu…
- We added +strafe, teams, and more - 5 September 2024
Join the Fragsurf community on Discord: https://discord.gg/fragsurf Timer & Tricksurf are removed. They were both built on legacy code and content which has all been stripped out to significantly reduce Fragsurf's download size on Steam (from nearly 9gb to less than 3gb). These gamemodes may come back in the future on the new codebase & content systems. For now, our main focus is combat surf. We've published a beta branch on Steam that allows you to play the latest build before these gamemodes were removed. Right click Fragsurf -> Properties -> Betas -> tricksurf. Note, servers on latest versions will not let you connect while using an older build. ✨ Features Added +strafe Added team based gameplay `server config: game.teamsenabled=true/false` Patch notes can be seen from main menu Added !rank command for rank enabled servers Added mouse pitch inversion setting Added Game settings to ch…

- Fragsurf v2.0 Update - Open Source, Major Refactors, New Weapons - 13 June 2021
This update introduces improved functionality, performance, stability, open-source code, a better modding toolkit, improvements to gamemodes, new weapons, and more. Previously, Fragsurf depended on Chromium for its user-interface, which proved to be not only hard on performance, but also the cause of many crashes. OPEN SOURCE This is quite possibly one of the biggest changes in this update. The design philosophy of Fragsurf has always favored modding, and making it an open-source projects gives the community everything needed to develop mods for Fragsurf. It also allows community members to help fix bugs, make improvements, and create features. You can find the source code on github: https://github.com/Fragsurf/Fragsurf-2 Some assets used in the live build of Fragsurf are licensed and cannot be published, they are not included in the public repository (i.e. the weapons & animations).
