DEFRAG is a free browser-based first-person shooter with 6 game modes (FFA, TDM, Gun Game, Domination, CTF, and Search & Destroy), 6 weapons, an ELO-based ranking system with 20 ranks, killstreaks, and a cosmetic skin collection, all running directly in your browser.

What are the system requirements for DEFRAG?

DEFRAG requires a modern desktop browser with WebGL support. Chrome or Firefox are recommended. For best performance, 8GB+ RAM is suggested. Touch controls are not currently supported.

How does the ELO ranking system work?

DEFRAG uses an ELO-based rating system: you gain or lose points based on match outcomes relative to your opponent's skill level. There are 20 XP-based ranks, from Private I (rank 1) up to Supreme Commander (rank 20), each requiring a higher XP threshold.

What weapons are available in DEFRAG?

Six weapons: Rifle (versatile assault weapon), SMG (high fire rate), Shotgun (close-range power), Pistol (reliable sidearm), Sniper (long-range with scope), and Knife (melee with instant kill from behind). Switch between them using number keys 1-6.

What game modes does DEFRAG offer?

Six modes: Free-for-All (FFA) for classic deathmatch, Team Deathmatch (TDM) for team-based combat, Gun Game to progress through every weapon, Domination to capture and hold control points, Capture the Flag (CTF) with a 3-capture score limit and a 30-second flag auto-return, and Search & Destroy (S&D), a round-based attack-and-defend mode with no respawns.

How does the DEFRAG shop work?

The DEFRAG shop is purely cosmetic: skins, weapon finishes, and visual effects that change only how things look, never how the game plays. Cosmetics are unlocked as an Akousa Pro membership perk; there are no individual item purchases and no pay-to-win advantage.

Is DEFRAG free to play, and is it pay-to-win?

Yes, DEFRAG is completely free to play in your browser — no purchase or account is required to jump in. The optional shop sells only cosmetic items like skins and effects that never affect gameplay, so DEFRAG is not pay-to-win.
