Custom layout option

'controls' tab in Free Fire

In the 'Controls' tab, Free Fire features options such as Aim Precision, Quick Weapon Switch, Quick reload, Auto Switch gun, In-game tips, Auto-parachute, etc. which players can turn on, off, or keep at default.

PUBG Mobile Lite also provides some extra control features that offer an edge to the players while on the battlefield. Features like Peek & Fire, Slide, Universal Mark, Quick Secondary weapon, allows players to be dynamic and versatile on the field.

For example, the Peek & Fire option allows players to peek from behind cover and shoot at the enemy without exposing the whole body.

Custom HUD option in Free Fire

The minimap in Free Fire is located at the top-left corner of the screen and it cannot be customized or moved. Hence, it eliminates the opportunity to try out three or four-finger claw settings that may help players in getting more control over their character.

Gyroscope option

The gyroscope is a mechanism that detects the motion of the device and controls the recoil of a weapon with the movement of the device. Players can tilt their phones downwards or upwards to control the crosshair. Making it easier for some players to control recoil.

Free Fire's major drawback, however, is the absence of the gyroscope option. This is mainly due to the fact that the game was developed for low-end devices and most of the low-end devices do not offer a gyroscope mechanism.

'Controls' tab in PUBG Mobile Lite

PUBG Mobile Lite, however, features the gyroscope option and players can easily access that option from the 'Basic' tab in the settings.
