The standout aspect of the free-to-play service is that it does not just cater to fans of a certain genre, as it provides different kinds of experiences falling in various genres.
Ranging from action role-playing games to easy-going pet trading ones, everyone should be able to find at least one title that piques their interest. Fortunately,Robloxalso brings plenty of first-person shooter video games for players to enjoy, with some taking inspiration from major franchises in the genre.

To make the wait a bit easier,Robloxoffers many FPS experiences that are actually quite well-made and fun to play.
Here’s our list of the five video games on the platform that should keep first-person shooter fans occupied untilBlack Ops 6.

Clearly inspired by Valve’sCounter-Strikeseries, the game revolves around 5v5 team matches, shooting at the enemy squad, and completing objectives to secure the round. With plenty of global maps turned into battlefields and a round-based system for in-game currency and weapons,Counter Bloxkeeps things interesting throughout each match.
4. Phantom Forces
Similar to the previous entry in this list,Phantom Forceswas also launched in 2015, but since then, it has become a much grander experience than it used to be. Taking a more traditionalCall of Dutyroute with its round design, each battle takes place on an expansive battlefield, resulting in players having to use fast-paced tactics to emerge victorious at the end of the match.
The developers constantly add updates to the game, improving aspects like player and weapon movement, making it a must-playRobloxexperience.
3. BIG Paintball 2!
Bringing the stakes a bit lower but keeping the intensity intact,BIG Paintball 2!is an extremely enjoyable time for those who want to take part in paintball matches without the hassle of heading out of their homes.

Sure, it may not involve the gory warfare featured in theCall of Dutyfranchise, but it adds a charming twist to the first-person shooter genre by providing a colorful and vibrant paintball experience. TheBIG Paintballsequel builds upon the mechanics introduced in the original 2019 title and has thousands of active players ready for their next exciting battle.
2. Zombie Uprising
TheZombiesmode has always been a staple and, more importantly, an integral part of theBlack Opssub-series, so having an entireRobloxexperience centered around that aspect is more than welcome. Where Activision has recently been struggling with keeping its Zombies modes intriguing,Zombie Uprisingtakes things back to simpler times and offers straightforward undead action.
The cherry on top is that one of the most iconicCall of Dutymaps, Nuketown, has been recreated in the game, bringing a wave of nostalgia for veteran Zombies fans.
1. Arsenal
Weapons can make or break a first-person shooter experience, and thankfully,Arsenallives up to its name by offering a wide variety of them to let players approach each match differently. These weapons range from melee knives and numerous types of guns to magic spells and more, providing more layers to every round that goes down in the game. Throw some old-school arcade gameplay into the mix, andArsenalbecomes one of the standout experiences on theRobloxplatform.
While these first-person shooter titles may not be as refined as something as massive asCall of Duty, they are a testament to justhow far alongRobloxhas comeand how big it has actually gotten.
With new experiences and features constantly being added to the platform, it has the potential to surpass even instantly recognizabletitles likeFortnitein the future.
