Play Krunker in Your Browser
Krunker is a native browser first person shooter from Yendis Entertainment, built for the web rather than ported to it, so there is no install and no launcher. Matches run on live servers against real players, and an account is optional for jumping in. We link to krunker.io and do not host the game.

What is Krunker?
Krunker launched in 2018 as a browser shooter with blocky low-poly maps and a movement system that rewards sliding, jumping and quick peeks. It runs on WebGL, which means a normal laptop can hold a smooth frame rate without a discrete graphics card. Players pick a class, choose a loadout and drop into a match from the main menu.
Every match is played against other people on live servers, so the difficulty of any given round depends on who else is online. Classes change how you approach a fight: Triggerman is the rifle default, Hunter brings a scoped weapon, Run N Gun trades range for speed and Rocketeer turns corners into danger zones.
You can play as a guest straight away, and creating an account mainly adds saved progression, friends and cosmetics rather than access. The first load pulls the game assets for the map rotation, so give it a moment on a slow connection. After that, joining a match is a couple of clicks.

Tips for Krunker
- Keep your crosshair at head height while you move, the damage difference decides most duels.
- Slide around corners instead of walking through them, you are harder to hit and reach cover faster.
- Learn two classes rather than all of them, a rifle and a scoped weapon cover most situations.
- Lower the resolution scale in settings if the frame rate dips, visibility matters more than sharp edges.
- Play a few matches as a guest before making an account, you will know then whether you plan to stay.
- Watch the kill feed to learn the map flow, where fights happen tells you where the angles are.

Krunker FAQ
Is Krunker free to play in a browser?
Yes, the game is free to open and play, and nothing blocks you from joining a match as a guest. Optional cosmetics and account features exist if you want them, but they are not needed to compete on the live servers.
Do I need an account for Krunker?
No. You can set a display name and play immediately, which is how most people try it first. An account is worth making later if you want your levels, settings and friends list to persist between sessions and devices.
Can I play Krunker with friends?
Yes. Because matches run on live servers, you can party up with people you know and join the same lobby. Keep each other on the friends list once you have accounts, since guest names are not a reliable way to find someone.
Does Krunker work on a phone?
The site has a mobile layout with touch controls, and it is playable on a decent phone. Precision aiming is the weak point without a mouse, so expect to lose more duels than you would on a desktop.
Why is Krunker laggy or stuck on the loading screen?
A slow first load is usually asset download plus WebGL setup, so let it finish before refreshing. In-match lag is normally your connection or a busy server, and dropping the resolution scale in settings helps when the frame rate is the problem.
Can I use a controller for Krunker?
The game is built around keyboard and mouse, and gamepad support is not the intended setup. A mouse gives you the flick aim the movement system assumes, which is why most players stay on desktop input even when a pad is connected.
