This is the 6th Evo gun skin introduced in Free Fire. Mobile gamers have to climb through seven levels to unlock the true potential of Destiny Guardian.

There are eight privileges that users can unlock in this gun skin, and like the Destiny Guardian, the Megalodon Alpha is also an Evo gun skin.

This Free Fire item increases Scar’s damage and rate of fire but sadly reduces its reload speed. Players can also get access to an exclusive emote called “Feeding Time” using this skin

4) Kar98K – The Executioner

Garena introduced this gun skin during the Weapon Royale event in March 2021. Aside from adding a fancy look to the sniper, The Executioner enhances the weapon’s range along with boosted armor penetration, making it an excellent choice.

However, the movement speed of the gun has to be compromised.

5) AWM – Duke Swallowtail

Introduced as part of the Weapon Royale in June 2021, this gun skin's color might not be too appealing, but it has a cool design.

There is a significant improvement in the magazine capacity and firing speed of AWM using this cosmetic, though the reload speed reduces.
