Best Free Fire tips and tricks to get more headshots

Landing headshots is the quickest way to eliminate a foe in battle royale titles like Free Fire. However, a weapon's recoil rate makes it difficult. For those unaware, every firearm in the title moves to a certain degree when being fired, and this phenomenon is known as weapon recoil. Learning to control it is the most essential task for beginners.

Unlike other battle royale titles like PUBG Mobile, where controlling a weapon is learned through practice, managing a weapon's recoil movement in Free Fire has more to do with a player's sensitivity settings.

All in all, this article discusses the five best tips and tricks to control a weapon's recoil rate and land headshots.

Disclaimer: Free Fire is banned in India. Readers in the region are advised against playing the game. Instead, they can play Free Fire Max, an India-exclusive and legal variant.

Best Free Fire pointers to increase headshot accuracy

5) Finger movement

Finger movements play a pivotal role in registering accurate shots. This is why using a three-finger setup is highly recommended. The setup allows one to move around a foe to dodge their attacks while firing back. Moreover, it helps with swift finger movements, letting the user switch to a crouch or prone state abruptly in a gunfight.

This helps control the weapon better and land headshots. Moreover, it saves one from incoming attacks and confuses the foe.

4) Use appropriate weapons and attachments

Considering a weapon's recoil rate is the biggest hindrance in landing headshots, a player should choose their firearm wisely since some have relatively high recoil rates while others are easy to control. Additionally, a beginner should never prioritize a firearm without trying out every weapon.

The sort of attachments a player uses with their firearm also determines how well they land headshots. Consider equipping the foregrip and muzzle in a weapon, and avoid using silencers while learning weapon recoil control. This is because it increases a firearm's recoil movement.

3) Use of characters

Characters play a significant role in getting more headshots and high damage to opponents in Free Fire. Garena has added more than 30 options with extraordinary abilities in the game.

Players can use these skills and powers to get more armor penetration and headshots. The three most recommended characters for users to get more headshots are Laura, D-Bee, and Dasha.

D-Bee can increase the accuracy of guns by a certain percentage when firing while moving. Dasha has the skill to reduce the weapons' recoil, which helps achieve more headshots, while Laura can increase the accuracy of guns when scoped in.

2) HUD controls and sensitivity settings

The second tip users can follow to improve their headshots is to make the necessary changes to their HUD controls and sensitivity settings. Garena has made it easy for them to customize their sensitivity settings and HUD controls from the settings menu.

Gamers can shift from two-thumb controls to three-finger claws and even four-finger claws for a more comfortable grip. It will help them use shots like crouch+shot, prone+shoot, and jump+shoot to connect more headshots onto enemies in Free Fire.

Sensitivity settings also play a significant role in improving a player's gameplay and getting more headshots. They can tweak their sensitivity settings to either the higher or lower side for quick reflexes and shift their aim to the enemy's head position.

Here are the best sensitivity settings that users can follow to get more headshots:

General: 90 to 100
Red Dot: 90
2X Scope: 85
4X Scope: 70 to 80
Sniper Scope: 58 to 60
Free Look: 67

1) Crosshair placement

The best tip for better headshot accuracy in Free Fire is good crosshair placement. A crosshair is a plus (+) sign visible to gamers in the middle of their screen.

Those with good crosshair placement can easily take down opponents with more headshots and body shots in a 1v1 battle.

To improve crosshair placement, players must remember to keep their crosshairs on the head level of the enemy. For this, they can visit training grounds and practice drills to develop muscle memory to keep the crosshair and aim on the headshot level of the opponent.

Users can also play in custom rooms with their friends and teammates for better practice with headshots.
