Besides exclusives like Evo guns, a high kill-to-death ratio (K/D) reflects a player's in-game persona and how well they have mastered the dynamics of the Free Fire battleground. Consequently, it stands them out from the mass of gamers and helps them join a high-end guild, as their leader usually filters entries based on their K/D ratio.

The K/D ratio is calculated by dividing the number of kills a player scores by the number of times they die in a season. Therefore, it won't be wrong to say that a high ratio reflects how well a player has performed in a particular season.

Without further ado, let's look at the five best tips and tricks to maintain more than a three K/D ratio in Free Fire.

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.

Follow these tips to improve the odds of having a good K/D ratio in Free Fire

5) Adopt a flexible playstyle

The easiest way to improve the kill ratio and keep the death ratio to a minimum is by playing both aggressively and passively. The unification of both playstyles is known as flexibility.

Players who can switch playstyles during a match are likely to perform better than their single playstyle counterparts. This will give them an edge in battle and help them maintain a good K/D ratio balance.

4) Use a three-finger claw control

Using a three-finger claw control significantly affects a player's gameplay since it allows one to move around a foe and simultaneously fire at them, which is impossible when using a two-finger setup. Additionally, a three-finger setup helps with swift movement speed and makes using the controllers a lot easier, which helps in changing stances abruptly.

If using a three-finger claw control, try to abruptly go prone or crouch while in a close-to-mid-range gunfight to dodge enemy attacks and get a better aim at their head.

3) Try to win matches by all means possible

To improve the K/D ratio in Free Fire, one has to keep death to a minimum or, if possible, avoid it completely. This is not a realistic scenario, but it can be executed with some careful planning and gameplay.

The first goal will be to reach the end zone, while the second will be to outlast opponents in the area to win. This can be achieved by third-partying opponents or outright killing them.

2) Avoid dying without securing a few kills

Defying death is next to impossible in most instances. Thus, embracing it has to be done in style. Before dying in any match, players should try to secure a few kills. This will help balance out the growing death rate and even out the K/D ratio.

Furthermore, with an open mindset already embracing death, players are likely to perform better as they have nothing else to lose. In theory, this should help improve combat efficiency.

1) Play with an elite teammate

If improving the K/D ratio proves to be too difficult, players can always take the easy route and call in an elite teammate. By playing in the Squad mode with this veteran of Free Fire, players will be able to leech off their skills.

After a number of games have been won, the K/D ratio of the player will drastically improve. However, it has to be kept in mind that this is not a long-term solution and only a quick fix.
