Free Fire has emerged as one of the top mobile BR games. The ranked-based system of the title makes it rather competitive, and the players always desire to reach the top.

Headshots are among the most efficient ways to knock down an enemy in the game. To get better at them, the players are required to practice regularly and improve their gameplay.

However, users sometimes wander off to the wrong tracks and utilize illicit mods such as automatic headshot hacks. This article takes a look at the consequences of any such mod or hack in the Garena Free Fire

Garena considers cheating to be using unauthorized programs, using modified clients, and even altering the game client. Usage of any form of mod applications and hacks falls under the category of cheating.

Once users are caught indulging in any form of foul play, their accounts will be suspended permanently without any option to appeal against it. Moreover, the developers also ban devices used for cheating from playing Free Fire.
