About Krunker

Developer and Company Background

Krunker was created by Sidney de Vries, a Swiss game developer and founder of Yendis Entertainment Pty Ltd, an Australian-based independent game studio. De Vries has been developing mobile and browser games for over eight years before creating Krunker. In May 2022, Portugal-based game platform FRVR completed the acquisition of Krunker.io, bringing enhanced resources and platform support to the thriving title.

Game Overview and Community

Launched in June 2018, Krunker has grown into one of the most played browser games globally. The game boasts over 200 million unique players and features a strong community presence across Discord, Reddit, Twitch, and YouTube. The competitive esports scene includes tournaments with prize pools ranging from $200 to $1,000, and a dedicated ranked ladder system for aspiring professionals.

Krunker’s accessibility—requiring only a web browser and internet connection—democratized high-performance gaming, allowing millions to enjoy competitive FPS action regardless of PC specifications or income level.

Krunker Guide

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Krunker is a cross-platform multiplayer first-person shooter built on skill and movement. Players engage in real-time PvP (player vs. player) battles in pixelated 3D arenas. The game’s foundation revolves around three core pillars:

Reaction Time and Accuracy: Success depends on quick reflexes and precise aim. Headshots deal double damage, rewarding accuracy over spray-and-pray tactics.

Movement Mastery: Advanced movement techniques differentiate casual and competitive play. Slide-hopping (bhop), wall-jumping, strafe-jumping, and air-strafing allow skilled players to outmaneuver opponents.

Weapon and Class Selection: Each of 11 classes provides unique playstyles, from aggressive SMG rushers to patient sniper campers. Weapon choice dramatically impacts gameplay approach.

Game Modes

Krunker features numerous game modes catering to different playstyles and skill levels:

Free For All (FFA): Solo players compete against everyone on the map. Last alive or highest score wins. Perfect for beginners and warm-ups.

Team Deathmatch (TDM): Two teams battle for eliminations. Emphasizes teamwork and communication.

Hardpoint Competitive: 4v4 ranked mode where teams compete for map control. Matches last 4 minutes per round in a best-of-three format. This is the primary ranked format.

Infected / Zombies: One player starts as a powerful zombie; defeated players become zombies. Last human survivor wins.

Parkour Mode: Custom game mode focusing on movement skill and traversal challenges across complex map designs.

Capture The Flag (CTF): Teams defend their flag while stealing the enemy’s. Combines defense, offense, and coordination.

Gun Game: Players cycle through different weapons with each elimination. First to complete the cycle wins.

Raid Mode: Cooperative PvE experience where players battle AI bosses (Tortuga, Laboratory, Soul Sanctum) and collect loot. Features unique boss fights and procedural challenges.

Custom Games: Thousands of player-created game modes including custom rule sets, modded weapons, and unique objectives.

Ranked Mode and Competitive Scene

Krunker’s Ranked Mode offers a structured competitive ladder. Players compete in 4v4 Hardpoint matches against opponents of similar skill levels. The system features:

• League Structure: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Master ranks
• Seasonal Rewards: Exclusive cosmetics (Emperor’s Blade with season-specific glowing effects)
• KR Rewards: Up to 140 KR per match during double KR events
• Minimum Requirement: Level 10 account to access ranked
• Matchmaking: Skill-based pairing ensuring competitive matches
• Season 8 (2025): Major overhaul with improved matchmaking, stat tracking, and KPD (Krunker Protection Division) integration for anti-cheat enforcement

Competitive play extends to tournament circuits hosted on platforms like FACEIT, featuring battle passes, missions, and $200-$1,000 prize pools.

• Keyboard: Any mechanical keyboard with minimal latency
• Monitor: 144+ Hz display for smooth gameplay (60 Hz minimum for casual play)

Sensitivity Configuration

Finding Your Sensitivity:

Krunker is highly sensitive. Professional players typically use low sensitivity values (0.5-2.0) paired with low mouse DPI for maximum control.

1. Start with baseline: Set in-game sensitivity to 1.0 with 500 DPI mouse
2. Test 180° turn: Place ruler on desk, perform full turn (should be 20-40cm)
3. Compare with other games: Match 360° distance from games like Valorant or CS2
4. Adjust incrementally: Change sensitivity by 0.01-0.05 intervals
5. Practice: Spend 2-3 hours with new sensitivity before adjusting

Pro Player Settings:

• Triggerman/AK: 1.2-1.8 sensitivity with 500 DPI
• Sniper: 0.8-1.2 sensitivity (lower for precision)
• SMG/Agent: 1.5-2.2 sensitivity (higher for fast reactions)
• Aim down sights sensitivity: Slightly higher than base (1.0x-1.2x multiplier)

Controller Support

Krunker offers partial controller support for players preferring gamepads:

• Fully customizable button mapping
• Analog stick sensitivity adjustment
• Trigger configuration options
• Rumble feedback available
• Note: Competitive/ranked predominantly keyboard and mouse

Tips and Tricks

Beginner Tips

Master One Weapon First: Rather than cycling classes, focus deeply on one weapon (Triggerman AK recommended). Understand its recoil, effective range, and optimal playstyle before diversifying.

Learn Three Maps: Memorize spawn locations, weapon pickups, health positions, and high-ground advantages on three maps. Map knowledge accelerates skill development.

Crosshair Placement: Keep crosshair at head level while moving, not scanning floors. Pre-aim common enemy positions before peeking corners.

Practice Strafe and Jump: Advanced movement differentiates casual from competitive. Practice basic strafe-jumping in private matches before ranked play.

Warm-Up Routine: Spend 15-20 minutes in Free For All before ranked sessions, focusing on aim consistency.

Lower Your Sensitivity: Most beginners use too-high sensitivity. Reduce sensitivity 10% weekly until you find your optimal range.

Play Deathmatch Heavily: FFA modes generate most aim practice repetitions. Spend 50+ hours before attempting ranked.

Intermediate Strategies

Peek Angles: Engage enemies from positions where you control the confrontation range. Sniper excels at distance, SMG dominates close range.

Slide-Hop (Bhop): Master timing jump inputs while crouching to gain speed boosts. This separates casual and competitive players dramatically.

Weapon Economy: Manage ammo carefully. Some weapons (crossbow, revolver) demand precision; misses prove costly.

Sound Awareness: Use audio cues to locate enemies. Footsteps, gunfire, and reload sounds provide positioning information.

Positioning Over Aim: Engage from advantageous angles where opponents cannot fight back effectively. A good position beats a better aim when ranges mismatch.

Class Switching: Understand when to switch classes mid-match. Losing to SMG rushers? Switch to Shotgun or LMG.

Headshot Focus: Every bullet should aim for the head. Consistent headshots amplify damage output dramatically.

Pre-firing: Fire at corners enemies commonly occupy before fully peeking. Catch rushing opponents off-guard.

Advanced Techniques

Air-Strafe Movement: While airborne, move mouse left while pressing A (or right while pressing D) to maintain momentum. Enables evasive aerial maneuvers.

Quickscoping: Sniper players tap aim while already aiming, then quick-fire without fully scoping. Requires practice but feels incredible when executed perfectly.

Crouch Peeking: Crouch while peeking corners to expose less model to enemy fire. Combine with movement for unpredictable behavior.

Spray Control: Automatic weapons (AK, LMG) have vertical recoil patterns. Pull mouse down slightly while firing to control accuracy.

Rocket/Shotgun Jumping: Use explosive projectiles to propel yourself to unreachable map areas. Requires precise timing and aim.

Knife Cancels: Switch to knife briefly to cancel reload animations and gain speed boosts. Advanced tech enabling aggressive transitions.

Wall Glide Tech: Advanced walljump variations allowing precise vertical climbing on complex geometry.

360° Flick Shots: Turn 180° then shoot rapidly. Effective against close-range ambushes but high-risk.

Pro Player Mindset

• Consistency Beats Highlights: Reliable 15 kill games outperform volatile 25 kill / 10 death matches
• Mentality: Treat deaths as learning opportunities, not failures
• Grinding: Expect 500-1000 hours to reach professional level
• Demo Review: Record matches, analyze mistakes, identify improvement areas
• Community Engagement: Join clans, compete in tournaments, share knowledge

Math Playground

Krunker’s mechanics involve mathematical principles that affect gameplay:

Damage Calculation

Base Damage: Each weapon has inherent damage (AK: 25-30, Sniper: 100+, SMG: 15-18).

Headshot Multiplier: Damage (D_{total} = D_{base} \times 2.0) (applies to most weapons; revolver special cases apply).

Range Falloff: Certain weapons (rocket launcher, blaster) deal reduced damage over distance.

One-Shot Threshold: Classes with 100 HP are eliminated by single sniper headshots ((100 \times 2.0 = 200+ damage)).

Movement Speed Calculations

Base Sprint Speed: 1.2x multiplier while strafing (holding forward + lateral direction).

Slide-Hop Boost: Each successful jump-crouch cycle gains 10-15% momentum (cumulative).

Knife Speed Multiplier: Holding knife increases movement speed 25% and jump height 20%.

Terminal Velocity: Air-strafing enables infinite acceleration until hitting map boundaries.

Sensitivity and 360° Turn Distance

Formula: (360° Turn Distance (cm) = DPI \times In-Game Sensitivity \times Mouse Movement (cm))

Example Calculation:

• DPI: 500
• In-game sensitivity: 1.5
• Required 40cm turn distance
• Professional players use 20-30cm for optimal control

KR Economy

Earning KR:

• Free spin: 50-500 KR daily
• Gameplay: 10-40 KR per match (doubled during events)
• Battle pass completion: 250-3,000 FACEIT Points per mission
• Market flipping: Buy low, sell high for profit margin

Spending KR:

• Cosmetic purchases: 500-50,000 KR
• Battle pass access: 500 KR
• Skin crafting materials: 100-1,000 KR per material

Statistical Progression

K/D Ratio Calculation: (KDR = Total Kills ÷ Total Deaths)

Competitive advantage threshold: 1.5+ K/D indicates above-average competitive skill.

Elo Rating System: Ranked matchmaking uses invisible Elo-style calculations; winning gains ~25 points, losing loses ~25 points (adjusted by opponent ranking).

Glitches

While Krunker receives regular updates, occasional glitches occur:

Known Issues (Historically Patched)

Head Glitching: Crouching under low-hanging geometry enables players to shoot over obstacles while hidden. Developers fixed this with adjusted hitboxes.

Ramp Glitch: Certain ramp angles allowed unintended out-of-map access. Map redesigns and collision fixes resolved most instances.

Out-of-Map Exploits: Specific maps contained exploitable geometry allowing players to reach unintended areas. Fixed through collision updates.

Unlimited Ammo Bug: Specific classes (Slimer) occasionally dropped unlimited ammunition. Server-side fixes eliminated the issue.

Invisible Player Models: Rare rendering bug caused players to become invisible. Typically resolved by rejoining the server.

Ladder Glitches: Early walljump implementations occasionally caused players to clip through walls. Movement recoding fixed the behavior.

Class-Switching Exploits: Rapid class switching occasionally glitched weapon models. UI redesign prevented consecutive instant switching.

Hitbox Desynchronization: Server-client hitbox misalignment sometimes felt unfair. Developers implemented “fixed hitboxes” reducing visual-actual mismatch.

Reporting Glitches

Bug Report Process:

1. Visit krunker.io support website
2. Provide detailed reproduction steps
3. Include screenshot/video evidence
4. Specify map, game mode, and exact circumstances
5. Support team investigates and triages

Active Development: Developers regularly patch exploits. The update log reveals hundreds of fixes across years of active development, demonstrating commitment to fairness and stability.
