Free fire for Beginners: Tips to Improve your game

CHARACTERS SELECTION

It is okay to say that choosing a wise character in the battle is a worthy move and this game gives a wide range of different characters with different abilities. In the initial stage, there are two default characters to start with, ADAM and EVE. Other characters have to be unlocked by completing missions or spending diamonds. So it’s better to know your gaming technique and spend diamonds on that particular character to suit you the best. 

WEAPONS SELECTION

There are a lot of different types of guns available in this game and each of them has its own attributes and use. Therefore it is very much useful to select weapons according to their attributes. Players should use a combination of guns during their battle (Long + Short range). This can save them from opponents who are far from them or close. Always have one weapon for long distance (AR and Snipers) and one for close combat (SMGs and Shotguns) and players can also opt for melee items to protect them from behind.  

AIM AND FIRE WHEN IT’S RED

At the start, while playing you might have noticed your aim turns red when fired at the opponent. This happens for a short time. This is the very important part as you have to shoot only when it’s red. It becomes very much important when you are trying to aim at your enemy when they’re showing movement. All you have to do is have patience and shoot immediately at your enemy when it turns red. 

KEEP SHOWING MOVEMENT FOR DISTRACTION

Every battle game is a mixture of intelligence, skills, and the ability to focus on different things at a single moment. When you are in the middle of any combat, try not to stand idle and shoot, keep moving and distracting. Many players don’t move during the fight, as they want to focus on their enemy but, at the same time, they give an open opportunity for others to take advantage of this. It is important to kill your opponent but it is most important to survive till the end. Try to make it a habit to shoot while keeping moving. 

USE GLOO WALL

After choosing characters and guns, now comes the proper usage of gloo walls. These walls are the barrier that protects you from sudden attacks and gives you enough time to take action after observing the circumstances. Although gloo walls give a limited amount of time to think and react, it is recommended to use robo as a pet because it creates a force field that not only exceeds the time limit but also reduces the damage taken from bullets. The gloo walls can also be used as a distraction against your opponents as they focus on firing on the wall trying to break it down giving you the opening to crawl away unscathed. But if your movement is fast, you can also take advantage of this situation to counterattack. 

BE PATIENT

Free fire is a game of both fighting in being calm at the same moment. It’s not only that you see an opponent and start firing even if he can dodge them easily. To be the last man standing and to take booyah you need to be very clear about the timing of indulging yourself in any combat. Have patience, know when to fire and victory is yours. Always take cover while fighting, this gives you some time to restore health when dealt with severe damage. 

BE CAREFUL WITH ZONES

Zones are the most time-based damage that every player in this game gets stuck with, it’s inevitable. Players should have valuable items and enough ammo to stand till the end of the match while playing any mode. For this, players have to gather loot from the very start, because they need to survive. Also, those players who already have gathered enough loot must use them wisely so that it becomes easy to stay in the end zones. 

 ALWAYS BE READY FOR A COMBAT

Beginners always make the mistake of avoiding fights and hiding. They should always take charge of any situation. It is the right way of playing and winning any battle game. You might struggle in the initial stage but eventually, you will develop a strong mentality and great combat skills. 

TAKE ADVANTAGE 

It’s good to stick around places with higher ground. This will help you to take your target easily and with no loss. Also, keep focusing on the places with lots and more fighting. You can easily take advantage of that as players in the middle of combat forget to take cover from all sides and leave themselves open. 

AIM FOR THE HEAD

Everyone knows that the head is the main part of your body. If it’s injured, you are half dead. The same complies in the game too. Try to target the head instead of the body as the head has got more damage taken than the rest ( even with helmets). Practice dragging on the training ground as this will increase the chances of aiming towards the head. 

HAVE A GAMEPLAN

This game is strictly based on gaming skills and perfect squad strategies. Without this, you can’t hold out for too long. You need to have good coordination with your teammates along with an excellent tactical game plan to survive with a good kill ratio. Always stick with your teammates as they’ll be able to help when you get caught in the middle of a firefight or get knocked. 

NOTE: All the guidelines mentioned above are totally basic and for beginners. It depends upon the player and his gaming skills and how he uses these techniques for a better gameplay experience.
