5 best Free Fire guns used by pro players

Garena offers an abundance of weapons in Free Fire, with which players are to make it to the last circle of their match on a deserted island. Although we can't label one firearm as the best, some guns are often avoided on the battlefield, while others are highly preferred. This is because some firearms have better stats and serve well in almost every situation, while others are useful in specific conditions.

An experienced player often chooses a gun that serves well in most situations. However, prioritizing one weapon should only be done when one has tried their hands at every firearm, which is a long and tiring practice that demands patience.

In this article, we have listed the five best guns used by pro players in Free Fire to give you an idea about which firearm to use if you're struggling with finding the appropriate weapon.

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

• Rate of Fire: 40
• Reload Speed: 55

Shotguns are the dominator of close-range combat. Where rifles require perfect aiming while handling their recoils, shotguns need good positioning and timing. M1187 has sheer damage output of 100, which means two good shots can add a kill to your name, making M1187 one of the most preferable weapons when the enemy is at arm’s length.

Another shotgun that is famous among the experienced players of Free Fire is MAG-7. The astonishing attributes of this weapon make it more reliable than other shotguns in the game.

It can even help you when stuck in 1v4 situations.

Between M1187 and MAG-7, it would be impossible to say which one is better, as pro players often appear using both. However, you can choose them after figuring out the specialties of these shotguns that correspond with your style of play.

You can only attach a silencer to this weapon, as it comes with a pre-attached scope and does not need further attachments. M82B is an anti-vehicle sniper rifle that gives additional damage to vehicles and holds the power to penetrate gloo walls.

5) AKM

• Damage: 32
• Range: 72
• Magazine: 30
• Rate of Fire: 56
• Accuracy: 41
• Movement speed: 62

The AKM is among the most loved firearms in Free Fire due to its excellent damage output and firing rate. However, it has high recoil movement, which makes it tough to control when you spray a far-off enemy. That said, if you wish to enhance your recoil control skill, you should spend some time using this AR (Assault Rifle) since it will help you learn it.

If you're a beginner in Free Fire and still exploring different weapons, you are better off choosing another AR, as using the AKM isn't a good idea at this phase of your Free Fire journey.
