About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey Frag fans! Ready to add some more heat to the battlefield? The Fire Zone expansion is here to spice up the combat even more, throwing you into two brand new, super dangerous arenas. Think boiling lava pits that forgive no one – and the other players are already a huge threat!
But it's not just the scenery that got hotter. This expansion introduces new rules that amp up the action: imagine using rocket jumps for strategic repositioning, feeling the impact of weapons with 'knock back' effects that send your opponents flying, or using jump pads for a quick escape or to flank an enemy.
If you already enjoy the chaos and fun of the original Frag, Fire Zone is the perfect upgrade to keep the adrenaline levels high. It's more battlefield, more tactics, and of course, more brawling! Get ready to heat things up and show who's boss in the new combat zones. Just be careful not to fall into the lava, alright? This expansion is for those who want more of the same, only better and more explosive!
