Fistful of Frags is a multiplayer Western Half-Life 2 first-person shooter mod that involves team-based or free-for-all shootouts and cooperative games against AI managed enemies.

It was released on Steam for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Linux on May 9, 2014,[1] with several updates subsequently adding features and maps.

[2] Fistful of Frags also has a unique weapons selection system in which stars are used to balance the guns, secondaries, or handedness a player may use.

The stars can also be used to spend on perks such as stronger kicks or punches, or being able to carry dynamite or explosive barrels (which can be found around maps).

Factions are represented on the scoreboard and in various parts of the HUD by the colors: Blue for Vigilantes, red for Desperados, green for Rangers, and yellow for Banditos.

Rifles such as the Smith or Spencer carbine tend to have an even slower firing rate compared to other guns such as pistols, but make up in damage to the point of killing instantly on a headshot and dealing half of one's entire health pool on one body shot.

Whenever a player drinks whiskey, it is harder to aim for a limited time, which prevents one from being able to heal in the middle of a fight without consequence.

[3] PC Zone reviewed the original mod version of the game, calling its maps "well-designed, well-crafted and large."

"[5] Christopher Livingston of the same publication awarded it "Mod of the Week," praising the dual-wielding mechanic and calling the game "a whole lot of fun.
